Foreign characters from FM to e-mail

[Silvia]

I have a shop in FM. When someone has ordered something he/she get's an e-mail with a copy of their order. The shop is in Norwegian, and when some of the items in the shop have Norwegian letters in them (

Maybe as an HTML email. Check SMTPit.

Good Luck.

The shop uses a txt file as template for the mail... so you're saing that I could use an HTML document instead... and that might do the trick? I'll give it a try...

[Silvia]

Nope... that didn't make any difference.. what did you mean by "check SMTPit" ?

[Anatoli]

That is plugin with great support!

What coding did you used? FM is quite OK with Windows coding in email.

The same what is in db is sending to email. I have to use the RAW format for Czech language CE coding. Internally FM doesn't code everything correctly above 7-bit.

I'm sorry, I forgot to say that the shop is based on FM, but it is accessed through HTML/CDML pages... when the customer is finished ordering he/she clicks "Confirm" and then the shop automatically sends a copy of the order via e-mail to the customer. The e-mail is sent from an HTML page using a txt-file like this:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="FMPro" NAME="checkoutform">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-db" VALUE="Orders.FP5">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-format" VALUE="thanks.htm">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-error" VALUE="checkout.htm">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-lay" VALUE="CGI">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-token" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-recid" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Order ID" VALUE="[FMP-currenttoken]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-edit" VALUE="">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailhost" VALUE="ipadresse">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailfrom" VALUE="[email protected]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailcc" VALUE="[email protected]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailbcc" VALUE="[email protected]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailto" VALUE="[FMP-field:Customers::Email]">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailsub" VALUE="Order">

<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-mailformat" VALUE="emailorder.txt"></FORM>

And this is how the txt file looks (emailorder.txt):

Thanks for ordering, your number is: [FMP-field:Order ID] date: [FMP-field:Order Date].

You ordered these items:

Antall | Artikkelnr | Artikkelnavn | Pris | Ext. Pris

------------------------------------------------

[FMP-portal:Ordered Items]

[FMP-field:Ordered Items::Quantity] | [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Product ID] | [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Product Name] | [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Formatted Price] | [FMP-field:Ordered Items::Formatted Total]

[/FMP-portal]

SUM: [FMP-field:Formatted Total]

Your personal details:

------------------------------------------------

Kunde ID: [FMP-field:Customers::Customer ID]

Name: [FMP-field:Customers::FirstName] [FMP-field:Customers::LastName][FMP-if:Customers::Organization.neq.]

Organisasjon/firma: [FMP-field:Customers::Organization][/FMP-if]

Adresse: [FMP-field:Customers::Address]

[FMP-field:Customers::City], [FMP-field:Customers::StateProvince] [FMP-field:Customers::PostalCode]

Email: [FMP-field:Customers::Email]

Will the SMTPit send the mail for me the same way? Or is there something else I can do to fix this??

Thanks for your help.

Here is the URL for SMTPit:

http://www.smtpit.com/

It uses a Script to compose and send the email. So you would use the "-script" tag.

All the best.

Yes it works for me with Czech Characters.
