Hi,
I have a table in the content management system that I want the administrater to be able to click a button to send an email to the current records email address with some custom message text and include their username and password from the same table. Is this achievable and how would I go about doing it. I'd rather not have them manually create an email then copy and paste the relevant bits from the cms.
thanks

Hi,
Probably the best way to do this would be through a custom plugin. You can set the plugin up so that when they save a record, under certain circumstances, you send off an email, using information from the record that was just saved.
If you'd like us to look into creating this for you, please email a list of requirements to consulting@interactivetools.com and we can go over some options.
If you'd like to try to create this yourself, you can use user created plugins as a starting point, for example:
The [url http://www.interactivetools.com/add-ons/detail.php?Alert-Record-Saved-1052]Alert Record Save[/url] plugin sends an email when a new record is saved, and might be a good starting point.
Hope this helps
