Sending event invitations by email
February 20, 2011, 11:15:48 pm
Hi,

Coming back to a pet issue of mine: When you create an event, you need to copy-paste all the info (intro, title, date, link to register - with the checksum -) into the email for invitation. No good to do that manually.

What about leveraging CIVICRM_MAIL_SMARTY (is it on by default?)

And
Code: [Select]
{*do a bit of jQuery magic to ajax get list of events and set eventid*}
{assign eventid=42}{crmAPI entity=event action=get result=event id=eventid}

You are invited to {$event.title} on the {$event...}

is CIVICRM_MAIL_SMARTY on by default ?

Ideally, you can use that eventid info to send a vcal/invitation so the end user can directly add it to the calendar (and "will come yes/no" ala outlook/gmail)

What do you think ?
