Loading a view to an email message sends a blank email

Sigal · November 2012

I am trying to send an email from the blog module with a view as the message:
$this->email->message($this->load->view('confirmComment-html', $data, FALSE));

Although I send FALSE, I don't see the view in the browser.

The email that I am reciving has nothing in the body.

Printing the data array to the screen, gives me:

Array ( [lang] => A comment has been added to your blog post. To review the comment login to FUEL: [link] => http://localhost/highlandfuel/fuel/blog/comments [spam] => [published] => Published: no [author] => Author Name: pop [authorEmail] => Author Email: pop@gmail.com [authorWebsite] => Website: [authorIp] => Author IP: newtron (127.0.0.1) [comment] => Content: khhhlhh

Why do I get a blank email?

Lance · November 2012

Have you loaded the library class with:


$this->load->library('email', array('mailtype' => 'html'));

Why are you using false to load the view? You need the view returned for use as markup/a variable for the email class.

Try:


$html = $this->load->view('confirmComment-html', $data, true);

# echo $html; Uncomment if still no good.

$this->email->message($html);

Ok, changing the False to True here$this->load->view('confirmComment-html', $data, false); helped. I somehow remembered that if I use False I will see the view on the screen.

Thanks

Howdy, Stranger!
