Process text after "Insert Templates"

Reply Quote

I have a template which, after "inserting", I wish to process. In the template I have a number of "fields" which I want to substitute other text in. EG, I want to look for %name% ans drop in the user's name.

The problem I am having is detecting when the user has pressed the "insert templates" button and the text has been loaded. Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Paul

Paul,

Do you want to process the HTML code of the template file in the editor or in the template dialog? Can you explain this?

Hi Adam,

Thanks for your response. Basically, I am using the templates to generate the texts of letters and e-mails which are transmitted later. The template will say something like: "Dear %name%". After I load the template, I then process the text and substitute "%name%" for, say, "Adam".

I am currently achieving this by placing my own custom button, which the user presses straight after loading the template ... but that makes it a bit "clunky". I have tried changing the template button so that it does a postback, but the postback happens before the template gets loaded (actually it never loads if the button executes a post back).

Thus, I was just wondering if there was any event where I could capture this. As you allude to in your question, it might be possible to do something in the template dialog (InsertTemplate.aspx) where you call do_insert() ... but that looks like it might be a bit fiddly!

Any suggestions welcome!

Regards

Paul

Call the following JavaScript method to update the iframe content.

do_preview(html);

</script>

Hi Adam,

Sorry for this, but I don't understand what you are suggesting. Where should I place this script ?

Thanks

Paul

Paul,

After you modify the HTML code and you want to update the content of Iframe, you can use this code:

For example:

HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<script language='javascript'>preview('hello world!');</scr" + "ipt>");
