[TYPO3-mvc] capture and re-use controller/view output

[Henjo Hoeksma]

Hi Loek,

if I follow you correctly, this is the thing you would want to do:


   1. Create an EmailService that will handle the emailing [1]
   2. Create a Schedular Task calling a notifyAchtion() (whatever you want
   to name it) [1]
   3. Create your email template and use Partials to avoid writing double
   templates as much as you can.

[1] For both there a some good threads around to give you the info you need
on how to achieve this.

Kind regards,

Henjo

Problems are small because we learned how to deal with them.
