cf_advancedmail Mass mailing
I've been using a modified version (with cf_advancedmail) of Matt Robertsons cfmail approach to deliver bulk messages to our mailing lists. You can see http://mysecretbase.com/Slowing_Down_CFMAIL.cfm for the complete original article and code. For me this is fantastic - throttled down mail with automaticly attached images and a message to those who don't support HTML.
However, this is a single standalone page and I'm now encountering a client who wants this functionality on their site (done in fuseQ). This poses a small problem when the page refreshes and sends back to itself.
This next segment is the troublesome area (for me) . It re-runs the template automatically at the run rate, with the incremented starting value. The UUID is required to prevent possible caching issues on come browsers
<meta
http-equiv="REFRESH"
content="#variables.RunRate#;
URL=#cgi.script_name#?CurrStart=#variables.NextRun#
&UniqueURL=#UrlEncodedFormat(CreateUUID())#">
</cfoutput>
<head><title>CWC Mass Mailer</title></head>
<body ONLOAD=history.go(1)>
My question - is it possible to pass these values using cflocation to update the url parameters and send back to the display page for reprocessing (until url.CurrStart is greater than the MailList.RecordCount when I would send to a 'mail sent' page. Variables.runrate is the one I can't get my head around along with the ability to prevent caching.
OR, would I just be best to send to this in it's entirety and force the pagename as an additional accepted URL to index.cfm?
All help appreciated
TIA
