badge creation
September 24, 2007, 08:05:58 am
Hi there

I want to create a badge instead of a label on export.  Can you point me in the right the direction as to how I might do this?

On another note, I cant seem to find a download for civimail.  Again can you point me in the right direction?

I have civi 1.8

Thanks

Oh, by the way - this is a most incredible product.  You havve done an incredible job building so many features into one package.  Thanks very much

Jeremy

The easiest approach for creating badges would be to export the fields you need to a .csv file - and then do a mail merge using your favorite word-processor. If you want a more integrated solution - you'll need to do some non-trivial coding, as I suspect the fields used by your badges are quite different than the ones available for mailing labels (basically name and address fields). You might be able to get a way with adding a new "label" format and putting the values you want in supplemental address fields ???

CiviMail is included in all CiviCRM download packages. However, the component is disabled by default. You should review the CiviMail doc online:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviMail+Configuration
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviMail+Admin

...and depending on your available tech resources, consider subscribing to the new CiviSMTP service which greatly simplifies requirements on your end:
