silverstripe-templated-emails

A SilverStripe module that provides a unified, theme‑ready email template and automatically renders form data as a table—no manual HTML needed.

Installation

1. Install the package (in your project directory):

   composer require moritz-sauer-13/silverstripe-templated-emails
   

2. Update database/manifest:

   • run /dev/build?flush=all

Requirements: SilverStripe CMS 5.x

Quick start

use SilverStripe\Control\Email\Email;
use TemplatedMails\Model\TemplatedEmail;

$email = TemplatedEmail::create()
    ->setTo('to@example.com')
    ->setFrom(Email::config()->admin_email)
    ->setSubject('Contact request')
    ->setGreeting('Hello,')
    ->setTitle('New contact request')
    ->setFormData($data, $form);

$email->send();

• If a $form is provided, the order and labels are derived from the form fields.
• Additional free text/HTML can still be set via $email->setBody() and rendered in the template with $EmailContent.RAW.

Configuration (YAML)

Keys and defaults:

• skip_empty: true — Skip empty fields (default)
• excludes: ["SecurityID", "url", "g-recaptcha-response"] — Exclude exact key names
• exclude_prefixes: ["action_"] — Exclude all keys starting with any of these prefixes
• array_separator: ", " — Separator for array values
