Help :: Custom Templates Tags for the Message View Page
Message View Page Tags
After someone clicks on an Eyejot email notification message they're taken to a view page for
that message. You can control the look & feel of this page using the tags below. A powered by Eyejot
icon/link will be placed at the bottom of your page, automatically.
Two different players are supported. They're actually the same, just setup for different dimensions. The tag %%$player.message_player%% will place a 320x240 Flash player on your page while %%$player.message_player_large%% will place a larger one that's 640x480.
| %%$recipient.first%% | This is the first name of your recipient. |
| %%$recipient.last%% | This is the last name of your recipient. |
| %%$recipient.user%% | The is the Eyejot user name for your recipient. It's typically not required or used in notification email templates. |
| %%$recipient.guid%% | This is the unique Eyejot ID for the user. Like the user name (above), this is typically not used within notification email templates except as part of URLs which are provided for through other template tags. |
| %%$sender.guid%% | This is your unique identifying code within the Eyejot system. This is sometimes used in links to identify you (such as in affiliate and join links). It's unlikely you'll ever need to use it by itself. |
| %%$sender.first%% | This is your first name. |
| %%$sender.last%% | This is your last name. |
| %%$sender.name%% | This is a convenient tag that combines your first and last name, in case you didn't want to use separate tags. |
| %%$sender.email%% | This is your email address. The recipient of your message will already see
this in their inbox, but you can use this to accent your message with
additional mailto: links or to simply display a more complete signature. Example:
Many thanks, %%$sender.first%% %%$sender.last%% (%%$sender.email%%)
|
| %%$sender.profile_image_url%% | This is a link to your profile image. It is almost always used within an <IMG> tag.
Here's an example setting the width of the image to 150 pixels with a 1 pixel solid, black
border and an alt-tag that displays your first name:
<img align="middle" style="width:150px; border:1px
solid #000000; margin:0 18px 0 18px; src="%%$sender.profile_image_url%%" alt="%%$sender.first%%"> |
| %%$sender.user%% | This is your user name. If you wanted your user name to appear
insider your greeting you could use this tag. Sometimes people will use
it inside of parenthesis near their name and email address. Here's
and example:
Many thanks, %%$sender.first%% %%$sender.last%% (%%$sender.user%%)
|
| %%$message.duration%% | This tag displays your message's duration. The format is spelled out. For example, it might read 45 seconds. |
| %%$message.subject%% | This displays the subject you entered when you created your message. If you left one off it will simple read Eyejot Video Mail from followed by your name. |
| %%$message.body%% | If you entered any body copy (notes) then they would appear wherever you place this tag in your layout. |
| %%$message.sent_date%% | This is when the message was sent, formatted to adhere to the recipient's selected time zone and/or format. |
| %%$message.video_mp4_url%% | If this tag has a value then it will point to a fully qualified URL for the MP4 version of the video. This might be automatically produce if, for example, the user has enabled iTunes support or specified their mobile phone as an iPhone. |
| %%$player.includes%% | This is a necessary tag if you wan to display the Flash player that will display your video message. It's a good idea to place this at the top of your page, even within the header section of your page. |
| %%$player.message_player%% | This is the tag that will place the video player on your page. It will automatically contain other tags that will get filled out with information that will cause your message to auto-play. Its dimensions are 320x240. |
| %%$player.message_player_large%% | This is the tag that will place the
video player on your page. It's the same as the player placed using the
%%$player.message_player_large%% tag except that its default dimensions are 640x480.
Additionally, you can control the size of this player using two additional tags and a special
template command called set. Here's how:
%%$player.includes%%
%%set player.width = 900%% %%set player.height = 675%% %%$player.message_player_large%% The key to this being successful is to make sure your player.width and player.height variable conform to the same 3:2 aspect ratio that the player was originally designed to adhere to. It may work if you don't follow this rule, but it will probably look odd. |
| %%$message.attachments%% | This is the tag that will place any attachments that might exist for the message on to the page. |
| %%$message.attachments_horizontal%% | This is the tag that will place any attachments that might exist for the message
on to the page oriented in a horizontal manner. If you want to specify the width of each
"cell" (column) you can do so by specifying a value for a variable named attachment.cellwidth. Here's how:
%%set attachment.cellwidth = 200%%
%%$message.attachments_horizontal%% |
