Now, I have everything working except for one little thing - and that is the recepientType.
For some reason, I cannot seem to access that field/value without getting an error back.
I've tried accessing the field like this: {!recipient.name} but then I'm told that there is no such variable in my controller (which is correct).
My assumption was then, that because I have a custom controller to go with the component, I would need to fetch the contact (recipientType) in the controller. However, when I passing recipientType to my controller my template stops working (I get the "list has no rows" error which I assume is a related issue but not the real one).
I've tried passing recipientType to my controller as {!recipient}, {!recipientType} and {!recipientType.Id}. None of which seem to be working for me.
I have a Visualforce email template which includes a component which has it's own custom controller. I use this setup in order to be able to retrieve related objects which I want to display in the email going out to a contact.
However, for some reason, nothing gets displayed in my email templates and I haven't found a way of debugging it in order to be able to track when/where it goes wrong. However, I'm fairly certain that it is the opportunity ID that does not get passed from the template/component to the controller.
public without sharing class OrderFormDomainOppComponentController {
private final List<DomainOppLink__c> links;
public Id oppId {get; set;}
public OrderFormDomainOppComponentController() {
// oppId = '006W0000002VDzZ';
links = [SELECT Domain__r.Name FROM DomainOppLink__c WHERE Opportunity__c = :oppId];
}
public List<DomainOppLink__c> getLinks() {
return links;
}
}
In the template I output the Opportunity ID just for debugging purposes and that works fine. It shows the ID correctly when testing the template from within the SF GUI (Setup --> Communication Templates --> Email Templates).
However, the DomainOppLink objects retrieved in the controller is not shown. If I hard code the opportunity ID in my controller (commented out in the code above), it all works fine. I.e.. I get an email with all the DomainOppLink objects.
So, the big WHY is: WHY doesn't it work when I am NOT hard coding the opportunity ID but using the ID passed on from my component/template?!
I feel like I'm SO close, and that I just cannot seen the forrest for all the trees.
