Email body in Symfony 1.4 mailer?

Question

I\'m using the Symfony 1.4 mailer where I build the various bits needed for an email and then send it out using:

$this->getMailer()->composeAndSend($se         


        

Answer 1

How about just using the native method availible inside sfAction.

$this->getPartial('partial_name'); which works like the partial helpers for you templates.

Answer 2

I store the email bodies as a template file and render them via sfPartialView. E.g. inside an action:

$view = new sfPartialView($this->getContext(), $this->getModuleName(), $this->getActionName(), 'confirmation_mail');
$view->setTemplate('_confirmation_mail.php');

// values can be set e.g. by setAttibute
$view->setAttribute('name', $name);

$body = $view->render()

The body templates are located in the module's template folder, but I am sure you can somehow change this and e.g. put all email templates into one folder if you want to.
