ClientsPlugin Recipe: Weekly Summary Email

  1. Create an event called "Weekly Summary" which has the "Milestone Summary" summary and the "Send Email" action.
  2. Trigger the event every week and run: run-client-event -e /path/to/env -c "Weekly Summary"
  3. Edit the event and add the following XSLT: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
  version="1.0">
  
  <xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" encoding="UTF-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
  <xsl:decimal-format name="GBP" decimal-separator="." grouping-separator=","/>
  
  <!-- Match the root of the XML render the three views -->
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="$view='html'">
        <!-- Should return HTML as you see fit -->
        <xsl:call-template name="html"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="$view='images'">
        <!--
        Should return a list of images to embed in the following format:
        
        <images>
          <img id="myimage" src="/local/path/to/image"/>
        </images>
        
        Where "myimage" is references in your HTML image as <img src="cid:myimage" />
        -->
        <xsl:call-template name="images"/>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <!-- The plain text portion of the email -->
        <xsl:call-template name="plain"/>
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>
  
  <!-- Simple (cop-out) implementation of a plain text message -->
  <xsl:template name="plain">
    <xsl:text>
This message contains HTML content for a rich display.

Please enable the HTML view or use an HTML compatible email client.
