Right, you cannot compile using macros. From the docs macros were =
dropped
when Miva Script went compiled.=20

I haven=92t tried it, but from everything I have tried you can always =
use {}
inside of "" in any tag to use expressions. For example you should be =
able
to use:

<MvSMTP TO=3D"{ l.to }" MAILHOST=3D"{ l.host }" FROM=3D"{ l.from }">

Or

<MvASSIGN NAME=3D"{ 'g.anything' $ l.counter }" VALUE=3D"{ l.somevalue =
}">

Greetings,

is there somebody who can tell me if it is possible to use expressions
and/or
variables in the MvSMTP tag?

Up to now I used macros or an appropriate text string because I never =
could
get
expressions to work. So, please, is it simply not possible or am I doing
something wrong?

Also, if I use macros I can't compile the script, right?

Regards,
Frank

Sure, you mean like:

<MvSMTP
TO="{g.ToEmail}"
SUBJECT="{l.message }"
CC="{ g.cc_list }"
MAILHOST="localhost"
FROM="{g.message}">

All right, thanks all, it's fine. I'm feeling quite silly, I messed up the
MvASSIGN for the recipient, no wonder it did not work.

Now, if somebody could tell me what structures are good for (maybe with
a simple
example)?

Frank

They allow a primitive form of object-orientation.

For example, in one application I have an array of domain names and
several more arrays of properties related to the domain names. If I make
these latter ones structures, when I sort the domaisn array, I don't have
to simultaneously reference all the others.

You do end up using an awful lot of miva_variable_value() functions to
access the data in the structures.

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillll ... where R U..... someone is asking for =
STRUCTURES !!!!

Ok.. You should search through the miva users archives to see.. there =
are some interesting discussions on the structures.. But I'll paste U a =
few here..
I didn't realize the first time that structures .. structure my coding =
:> and it did.. It is quite useful when you have lot of local vars to =
pass through the functions, it is simpler to see the vars you are =
working with, etc.. But I let you take a look on the posts.. it is =
better explained..

Some form structures topic: =
http://listmgr.miva.com/meu/index.mv...3Did9090098=20
This one is quite relevant about passing vars through the functions: =
http://listmgr.miva.com/meu/index.mv...3Did909009899=
99

.. and so on..=20

Bill (and friends) will make us a beautiful tutorial on structures (on =
mivascript.org) when I'll finish the system :(((((

Best regards,
Claudiu Bischoff

Frank,

I do this...

<MvSMTP
TO="{ l.toemail }"
FROM="[email protected]"
MAILHOST="localhost"
SUBJECT="{ 'Set ' $ BATCH $ ', ' $ REF_NO $ ' comments on the
Field management page' }">

a lot... rolling through a dbf of email names. Let me know if I can help.
You can't use macros, but there are usually good workarounds.

Thanks
rg
