ViewHelpers

cache.renderCache

If you e.g. send a newsletter to large amount of recipients there may be a lot of content in your newsletter that is the same for each recipient. In that case you should cache the content in order to get a better performance. You can also add an additional string to the cacheIdentifier e.g. in order to distinguish custom sortings and you can define non-cached markers. Example:

<postmaster:cache.renderCache queueMail="{queueMail}" isPlaintext="true" additionalIdentifier="mySorting">
    CONTENT TO CACHE
</postmaster:cache.renderCache>

email.replace.redirectLinks

Replaces all link with a redirect link in order to track them for the statistics Example:

<postmaster:email.replace.redirectLinks queueMail="{queueMail}" isPlaintext="true">
    Testen Sie hier: http://www.google.de
    Testen Sie da: [http://www.yahoo.de/#anchor-1]
    Testen Sie dort: mail@example.com
    Testen Sie überall: #anchor-2
</postmaster:email.replace.redirectLinks>

<postmaster:email.replace.redirectLinks queueMail="{queueMail}" >
    <p>
        <a href="http://www.google.de">Testen Sie hier</a>
        <a href="http://www.yahoo.de/#anchor-1">Testen Sie da</a>

email.uri.action / email.uri.page / email.uri.typolink

Use this ViewHelpers to generate valid absolute links when sending emails. This is important because mails are sent via CLI.

email.image

Renders an image when sending e-mails. This is important because mails are sent via CLI.

Example:

<postmaster:email.image src="EXT:postmaster/Resources/Public/Images/logo.png" width="536" height="200c"  />

email.pixelcounter

This ViewHelper adds a counter pixel to your email in order to be able to track whether it has been opened. Opening can be tracked by email, recipient or both.

<postmaster:email.pixelCounter queueMail="{queueMail}" />

email.plaintextLineBreaks

When defining the plaintext-part of your multi-part-emails using template-files it can be very annoying that every indent or linebreak you use for improving the readability of your template is also shown in your plaintext-part of the final email.

This ViewHelper solves that problem by removing all linebreaks and indents. To add a linebreak manually, just use \n Example:

<postmaster:email.plaintextLineBreaks>With line break,
    remove line break and indent and\nadd manual line break.</postmaster:email.plaintextLineBreaks>

Result:

With line break, remove line break and indent and
add manual line break.

email.recipientSalutation

This ViewHelper generated a proper salutation for the recipients of your email.

Example:

<postmaster:email.recipientSalutation queueRecipient="{queueRecipient}" prependText="Hello " appendText=" M. Sc." fallbackText="Hello" />

Result:

Hello Mr. Dr. Schmidt M. Sc.

Execute the following MySQL-queries BEFORE checking the database-tables and fields via backend!

RENAME TABLE `tx_rkwmailer_domain_model_queuemail` TO `tx_postmaster_domain_model_queuemail`;
RENAME TABLE `tx_rkwmailer_domain_model_queuerecipient` TO `tx_postmaster_domain_model_queuerecipient`;
RENAME TABLE `tx_rkwmailer_domain_model_mailingstatistics` TO `tx_postmaster_domain_model_mailingstatistics`;
RENAME TABLE `tx_rkwmailer_domain_model_clickstatistics` TO `tx_postmaster_domain_model_clickstatistics`;
RENAME TABLE `tx_rkwmailer_domain_model_openingstatistics` TO `tx_postmaster_domain_model_openingstatistics`;
RENAME TABLE `tx_rkwmailer_domain_model_bouncemail` TO `tx_postmaster_domain_model_bouncemail`;
RENAME TABLE `tx_rkwmailer_domain_model_openingstatistics` TO `tx_postmaster_domain_model_openingstatistics`;
UPDATE tt_content SET list_type = "postmaster_tracking" WHERE list_type = "rkwmailer_rkwmailer";
