Tell a Friend about a Course (SendFriend.txt)

If organizations are using the Tell a Friend about this Course option, the Tell a Friend about a Course email is sent to the user specified email addresses (emails entered on the SendFriend.htm). To activate the Tell a Friend about a Course template, the SendFriend.txt file must be placed in the same directory that contains your HTML template files (i.e. wconnect/ace).  You must also:  

  • Place a link on the XCourseStatus.htm page which calls the SendFriend routine (i.e. /SendFriend.awp?&Course=##tCourse.cocrse##). 
  • You may edit the email text (i.e. "At the suggestion of", "Here's a complete description", etc.).  However, do not edit the template tags.  They must remain as entered on the template or they will not work properly.  

Tell a Friend about a Course Template Tags

The Tell a Friend about a Course template is formatted as an HTML page and uses the following HTML tags:

<%= oName.FullName() %>

Inserts the name of the user sending the email.  Since this tag pulls information from the user's Name record, the user must log into the ACEweb system before he/she can access the SendFriend.htm page.

<%= oCourse.odata.cocrsenm %>

Inserts the course name.

<%= oCat.Descript() %>

Inserts the Catalog description of the course.

<%= config.cSenderName %>

Includes the Sender Name from the SenderName INI setting in the ACEweb.ini as part of the email signature.

<%= config.cHelpPhone %>

Includes the Help Phone from the HelpPhone INI setting in the ACEweb.ini as part of the email signature.

<%= config.cSenderEmail %>

Includes the Sender Email from the SenderEmail INI setting in the ACEweb.ini as part of the email signature.

<%-End-%>

Tells ACEweb where the email message text ends.  Only text and template tags placed above the ##-END-## tag will be included in the email.
