Email Template Options
  • Email Encoding : Form most installations using the Default value will work just fine. If there are problems with the email containg strange characters, expirimenting with the other encodings may help with the problem.
  • Email Template: Form Master offers two Template styles for formatting the email message which are described below:
    • Text Template: The text templates can be used for “Plain Text”, or “Html” formatting. For each format the file contains text with replaceable tokens to insert the form data.
      The files can be found in the Templates folder in the Module root. Copying these files to a new folder under the Templates folder allows for creating multiple templates on a Host. 

      To Make Templates which are Specific to Individual Portals Create a Folder Under the Templates Fold corresponding the the Portal's PortalID for example Templates/0

      Each format is made up of three files with the .TXT extension for “Plain Text” and .HTM for “Html”:
      • HEADER
      • ITEM
      • FOOTER
    • XSL Templates: The XSL templates are available for those users familiar with XSL style sheet transformations. For version 1.1, this was the default method for formatting the email message.

      The XSL Templates offer the advantage of being able to supply a unique custom template for each instance of Form Master without affecting any other instance. A sample data document located as “assets/xml/SampleData.xml” from the module root can be used to develop the XSL style sheet.

      The “Text”, or “Html” format default style sheets can be found at “assets/xslt”, EmailSend.xslt and EmailSendHtml.xslt. It is recommended that not to overwrite these files, but rather upload a custom style sheet using the “Upload Custom Email Style Sheet” option.
    • Custom Template: A Custom Template can be designed using the HTML Editor and the Field Tokens defined when creating the Form. This Template type is by Default sent in HTML format.
  • Text Template: Only “default” is available in the Dropdown List until new templates are added by copying the default files to a new folder as noted in 19.1 above. When new templates are available the folder name will appear in the Dropdown List.
