Question

I have implemented an email sharing service in my web application. People can click on the email button and access a form with which they can send emails to whom they want.

I would like to set a default subject and body.

In the default body text of the email, I would like to pass the link of the page people want to share. Surely it is possible to do so but I do not manage to.
So far it has been a dead end to try to pass the link in the value argument of my text editor. I cannot think if any other way to do it.

Any suggestion greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

The same way you pass data to any other fields that you want to populate.

For example your controller returns a model emailShare that contains subject, body and url etc

In your gsp, lets say you have a textarea for the body of your email,

<g:textField name="emailSubject" value="${emailShare.subject}" />
<g:textArea name="emailBody" value="${emailShare.url}" rows="5" cols="40"/>

This will set the url as the default text in the textarea, which can also be further edited to add more text.
