Plugin: Email-from-Template
Development and Programming
This one needs a better name. Please, somebody suggest a clever name.
This plugin will send tag contents in an email, with or without echoing that content back to the template.
PARAMETERS:
<b>to</b> - destination email address (default: site webmaster)
<b>from</b> - sender email address (default: site webmaster)
<b>subject</b> - email subject line (default: template URI)
<b>echo</b> - Set to "off" if you don't want to display the tag contents in the template.
VARIABLES:
{to}
{from}
{subject}
{ip}
{httpagent}
{uri_string}
EXAMPLE USAGE:
{exp:email_from_template to="[email protected]" from="[email protected]" subject="Hello!" echo="off"}
This tag content is being viewed at {uri_string} by {httpagent}. Sending notification to {to}.

Awesome plugin! Thanks!
I have a question, though: can other EE tags, global variables, etc be used inside this plugin’s tag pair? Would those EE tags, global variables, etc be parsed before this plugin’s tag pair?
Also, can attachments also be sent?
Thank you.
Date/time and segment variables will work just fine, but standard Global Variables get assigned too late in the parse to appear in the email. (They’ll display on in the template just fine, though, if you leave the plugin’s “echo” parameter “on”.)
I added an {ip} variable to the plugin for this exact purpose: EE’s standard {ip_address} variable isn’t evaluated until after the plugin sends the email.
If there are other variables that would be useful to you, I’m happy to add them.
