ExactTarget Setup

There's alot of stuff to do!!

1. Assets that will be published to ExactTarget will use the http_insert.asp and http_update.asp templates.

2. Configure HTTP Export, Package and Workflow to Publish out to the ExactTarget Server Url

To Configure the HTTP Export:
1. Goto System -> Configure -> Export -> HTTP
2. Enter an abitrary name.
3. Enter URL http://www.exacttarget.com/api/integrate.asp
4. Method = Post
5. Encoding = XML fields


http_insert.asp & http_update.asp uses the same code. Essentially a system.include(http_insert.asp) in the http_update.asp should do the trick:

Here is the code for http_insert.asp:

<% system.setdependency(false) %><% system.startCapture() %>
<% system.include "output.asp" %>
<% strHTML = system.stopCapture() %>

<% system.startCapture() %>


belvoir
belv0!r


email
add
HTMLPaste

<%= content.item("filename") %>
<%= content.item("email_subject") %>
&![CDATA[<%= strHTML %>]]>

<% strPOST = system.stopCapture() %>qf=xml&xml=<%= util.urlencode(strPOST) %>

For a good example of this, MyHorse or MEHC uses this in their Newsletters.

Parsing XML in .NET

Let's say you have XML as <root>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>       <name3>value3</name3>    </item>    <item>       <name1>value1</name1>       <name2>value2</name2>    </item> </root> To parse it we use the .NET XmlDocument class: // Create the XmlDocument object XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument(); // Load the Xml into the object xmlDoc.Load(objResponse.GetResponseStream()); // Get the element like it was a path XmlNode errorNode = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("root/item/name1"); if (errorNode != null) { litResult.Text = errorNode.InnerText; return; }

Passing values from Javascript to Asp.Net

The trick to passing data from Javascript and Asp.Net is to use hidden inputs in the html. The hidden inputs should have the runat="server" attribute. For example: <input type="hidden" runat="server" id="hiddenfield" value="" /> Then in the Javascript, whatever value you are trying to pull from Asp.Net, set the hidden field using: document.getElementById("hiddenfield").value = "whatever value you want to set" And in the Asp.net form, you can just access the hiddenfield by using its id. string x = hiddenfield.value.text Thats all there is to it. You might need to check the syntax of it first as this is just all from my head.

Parsing XML Documents in the CMS: 2 Methods

To start off with do this: Dim txt Dim fieldStart, fieldEnd Dim xml Dim fields Dim ltxt Dim key Dim value txt = trim(content.item("_cmsEmailBody")) ltxt = lcase(txt) fieldStart = inStr(ltxt, "<root>") fieldEnd = inStr(ltxt, "</root>") if fieldStart >= fieldEnd then content.add "_cmsError", "Invalid email format. No XML data detected." exit Sub end if ' skip the end /root fieldEnd = fieldEnd + 6 set xml = system.createXML() if not xml.loadXML(mid(txt, fieldStart, fieldEnd)) then content.add "_cmsError", "Invalid XML format." exit Sub end if Now there are two ways to parse it. Method 1: set fields = xml.selectSingleNodeAsContent("root") Method 2: set fields = xml.selectSingleNodeAsDic("root") Check to make sure we have the root node: if not isObject(fields) then content.add "_cmsError", "Invalid xml format. Missing root /root node." exit Sub end if If Method 1 ...
