So I went and solved my own problem by modifying things
(http://github.com/adsmart/radiant-directory-mailer-extension) and it
turns out that it was a very simply addition.
Simply change recipients to directory in you mailer part and add
recipients_field. The value of the recipients field is now a list of the
indexes of items in the directory to use as the recipients.
That is, given a mailer of:
subject: "Sent from your mailer form"
recipient_field: destination
directory:
- z...@example.com
- o...@example.com
and the form from my original post, the message will be sent only to the
email address(es) that are selected in the form.
I do need help with one bit. I'm not well versed on (T|B)DD so I haven't
modified the specs to account for the new behaviour. I'm not quite sure
how to do it.
Manually keeping the form and the mailer config in sync is more prone to
error than I'd like so I'm thinking of adding a tag that would let you
do:
<r:mailer:select name="destination">
<r:directory />
</r:mailer:select>
To get the names, I'm not sure if I prefer
directory:
- z...@example.com
- o...@example.com
names:
- "First Address"
- "Second Address"
or
directory:
-
name: "First Address"
email: z...@example.com
-
name: "Second Address"
email: o...@example.com
either approach has its advantages and disadvantages.
