package SQLite::Work::Mail; use strict; use warnings; =head1 NAME SQLite::Work::Mail - send mail with data from an SQLite table. =head1 VERSION This describes version B<0.1001> of SQLite::Work::Mail. =cut our $VERSION = '0.1001'; =head1 SYNOPSIS use SQLite::Work::Mail; my $obj = SQLite::Work::Mail->new(%args); $obj->send_mail(%args); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module is an expansion of SQLite::Work used for sending email populated by row(s) from a table in an SQLite database. =cut use File::Temp qw(tmpnam); use SQLite::Work; use Text::NeatTemplate; our @ISA = qw(SQLite::Work); =head1 CLASS METHODS =head2 new my $obj = SQLite::Work::Mail->new( database=>$database_file, report_template=>$report_template, default_format=>{ 'episodes' => { 'title'=>'title', 'series_title'=>'title', } }, }, ); Make a new report object. Takes the same arguments as L::new(). =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my %parameters = (@_); my $self = SQLite::Work->new(%parameters); $self->{report_template} = '' if !defined $parameters{report_template}; bless ($self, ref ($class) || $class); } # new =head1 OBJECT METHODS =head2 send_email $obj->send_email(); $rep->send_email( table=>$table, where=>\%where, not_where=>\%not_where, subject=>'My Mail', email_col=>$email_col, email_address=>\@addresses, mailer=>$mailer, sort_by=>\@sort_by, sort_reversed=>\%sort_reversed, show=>\@show, limit=>$limit, page=>$page, row_template=>$row_template, ); Select data from a table in the database, and send each row as a separate email. Arguments are as follows (in alphabetical order): =over =item email_address An array of email addresses to send the email to. If this is given, this will send an email for each matching row, to each address in the array. Useful for broadcast mailing. Give either this option or the 'email_col' option. =item email_col The name of the column to take email addresses from. If this is given, then each row is sent to the email address value in that column for that row. Useful for individual notification. Give either this option or the 'email_address' option. =item limit The maximum number of rows to display per page. If this is zero, then all rows are displayed in one page. =item mailer The name of the mailing program to use. Allowable values are 'mutt', sendmail, mail, and elm. =item not_where A hash containing the column names where the selection criteria in L should be negated. =item page Select which page to generate, if limit is not zero. =item row_template The template for each row. This uses the same format as for L. If none is given, then a default row_template will be generated, depending on which columns are going to be shown (see L). Therefore it is important that if one provides a row_template, that it matches the current layout. The format is as follows: =over =item {$colname} A variable; will display the value of the column, or nothing if that value is empty. =item {?colname stuff [$colname] more stuff} A conditional. If the value of 'colname' is not empty, this will display "stuff value-of-column more stuff"; otherwise it displays nothing. {?col1 stuff [$col1] thing [$col2]} This would use both the values of col1 and col2 if col1 is not empty. =item {?colname stuff [$colname] more stuff!!other stuff} A conditional with "else". If the value of 'colname' is not empty, this will display "stuff value-of-column more stuff"; otherwise it displays "other stuff". This version can likewise use multiple columns in its display parts. {?col1 stuff [$col1] thing [$col2]!![$col3]} =back =item show An array of columns to select; also the order in which they should be shown when a L has not been given. =item sort_by An array of column names by which the result should be sorted. =item sort_reversed A hash of column names where the sorting given in L should be reversed. =item subject A template for the Subject: line of the emails. =item table The table to report on. (required) =item where A hash containing selection criteria. The keys are the column names and the values are strings suitable for using in a LIKE condition; that is, '%' is a multi-character wildcard, and '_' is a single-character wildcard. All the conditions will be ANDed together. Yes, this is limited and doesn't use the full power of SQL, but it's useful enough for most purposes. =back =cut sub send_email ($) { my $self = shift; my %args = ( table=>undef, limit=>0, page=>1, sort_by=>[], sort_reversed=>{}, not_where=>{}, where=>{}, show=>[], row_template=>'', subject=>'Notification', email_col=>'', email_address=>[], mailer=>'mail', @_ ); my $total = $self->get_total_matching(%args); my $limit = $args{limit}; # make the selection, only for one table my ($sth1, $sth2) = $self->make_selections(%args, table2=>''); my @columns = (@{$args{show}} ? @{$args{show}} : $self->get_colnames($args{table})); my %show_cols = (); for (my $i = 0; $i < @columns; $i++) { $show_cols{$columns[$i]} = 1; } my %nice_cols = $self->set_nice_cols(columns=>\@columns, truncate_colnames=>$args{truncate_colnames}); my $row_template = $self->get_row_template( table=>$args{table}, row_template=>$args{row_template}, layout=>'fieldval', report_style=>'bare', columns=>\@columns, show_cols=>\%show_cols, nice_cols=>\%nice_cols); # loop through the rows, sending email my $row_hash; while ($row_hash = $sth1->fetchrow_hashref) { $self->send_one_email(row_hash=>$row_hash, row_template=>$row_template, subject=>$args{subject}, show_cols=>\%show_cols, email_col=>$args{email_col}, email_address=>$args{email_address}, mailer=>$args{mailer}); } } # send_email =head1 Private Methods =head2 send_one_email =cut sub send_one_email ($%) { my $self = shift; my %args = ( row_hash=>undef, row_template=>undef, subject=>'Notification', show_cols=>undef, email_col=>'', email_address=>[], mailer=>'', @_ ); my $row_hash = $args{row_hash}; my $row_template = $args{row_template}; my %show_cols = %{$args{show_cols}}; # put output to a temporary output file my $outfile = tmpnam(); open(OUTFILE, ">$outfile") || die "Can't open '$outfile' for writing."; my $rowstr = $row_template; $rowstr =~ s/{([^}]+)}/$self->{_tobj}->do_replace(data_hash=>$row_hash,show_names=>\%show_cols,targ=>$1)/eg; print OUTFILE $rowstr; close(OUTFILE); if ($args{'debug'}) { print STDERR "outfile=$outfile\n"; } my $subject = $args{subject}; $subject =~ s/{([^}]+)}/$self->{_tobj}->do_replace(data_hash=>$row_hash,show_names=>\%show_cols,targ=>$1)/eg; if ($args{'debug'}) { print STDERR "subject=$subject\n"; } if ($args{email_col}) { $self->send_the_actual_mail(email=>$row_hash->{$args{email_col}}, mailer=>$args{mailer}, subject=>$subject, mailfile=>$outfile); } elsif (@{$args{email_address}}) # send to list of emails { foreach my $email (@{$args{email_address}}) { $self->send_the_actual_mail(email=>$email, mailer=>$args{mailer}, subject=>$subject, mailfile=>$outfile); } } unlink($outfile); } # send_one_email =head2 send_the_actual_mail =cut sub send_the_actual_mail ($%) { my $self = shift; my %args = ( email=>'', subject=>'Notification', mailfile=>'', mailer=>'', @_ ); my $email = $args{email}; my $subject = $args{subject}; my $mailfile = $args{mailfile}; my $mailer = $args{mailer}; if ($email) { my $command = ''; if ($mailer eq 'mutt') { $command = "mutt $email -s \"$subject\" -i $mailfile"; system($command); } elsif ($mailer =~ /sendmail$/) { # have to add the To: and the Subject: my $tfile = tmpnam(); open(TOUT, ">$tfile") || die "Can't open '$tfile' for writing."; print TOUT "To: $email\n"; print TOUT "Subject: $subject\n"; close(TOUT); $command = $mailer; $command .= " -bm -i <$tfile <$mailfile"; system($command); unlink($tfile); } elsif ($mailer =~ /^mail(x)?$/) { $command = $mailer; $command .= " $email -s \"$subject\" < $mailfile"; system($command); } elsif ($mailer =~ /elm$/) { $command = $mailer; $command .= " $email -s \"$subject\" < $mailfile"; system($command); } } } # send_the_actual_mail =head1 REQUIRES SQLite::Work CGI Test::More =head1 INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install Or, if you're on a platform (like DOS or Windows) that doesn't like the "./" notation, you can do this: perl Build.PL perl Build perl Build test perl Build install In order to install somewhere other than the default, such as in a directory under your home directory, like "/home/fred/perl" go perl Build.PL --install_base /home/fred/perl as the first step instead. This will install the files underneath /home/fred/perl. You will then need to make sure that you alter the PERL5LIB variable to find the modules, and the PATH variable to find the script. Therefore you will need to change: your path, to include /home/fred/perl/script (where the script will be) PATH=/home/fred/perl/script:${PATH} the PERL5LIB variable to add /home/fred/perl/lib PERL5LIB=/home/fred/perl/lib:${PERL5LIB} =head1 SEE ALSO perl(1). =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to the author. =head1 AUTHOR Kathryn Andersen (RUBYKAT) perlkat AT katspace dot com http://www.katspace.com =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (c) 2005 by Kathryn Andersen This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself. =cut 1; # End of SQLite::Work::CGI __END__
