I want to create a visualforce email template which displays the cost of various support contracts. Something to the effect of:
Total Cost: 10,000.
Basic Package (5%) = $500
Premier Package (10%) = $1000
Contract Expiration Date: 8/1/2010
I have fields in our Account object for the total cost and the expiration date. The basic and premier package costs are calculated by multiplying a percentage (either 5% or 10%) x Total Cost.
Most of the documentation i've seen for the visualforce pages use custom controllers which are defined by <apex:page controller="somecontroller"> syntax. But, when creating an email template this syntax is different.
Here is what i have currently:
<messaging:emailTemplate subject="test" recipientType="Contact" relatedToType="Account"> <messaging:plainTextEmailBody > Account Name: {!relatedTo.Name}</br> Expiration Date: {!relatedTo.Support_Contract_Expiration__c}<br/> Total System Cost: {!relatedTo.Support_Contract_Basis__c}<br/> </messaging:plainTextEmailBody> </messaging:emailTemplate>
Using the "__c" I found i was able to access the custom fields in the account object which contain the expiration date and the total cost.
Questions:
* Is it possible to do simple multiplication in visual force w/o creating a custom apex component.
* If no, I'm not sure how to create a custom apex class or controller and pass the account details to it in order to then create get methods for the basic cost and premier cost.
