Soozee VisualForce Email Template Error
I'm trying to create my first Visualforce email template that will be used in a workflow rule when a field is updated with a specific value.
I feel like I'm pretty close, but I am getting the following error when trying to save the Email Template:
Error: <messaging:emailTemplate> cannot contain <apex:form>.
But, when I take the <apex:form> tags out, I get this error:
Error: c:travelregistry_email_template_component must occur between <apex:form></apex:form> tags
Here is the VisualForce Email Template code:
<messaging:emailTemplate subject="Travel Itinerary for : {!Relatedto.Trip_Name__c}" recipientType="User" relatedToType="Travel_Registry__c">
<messaging:htmlEmailBody >
<p>Your itinerary for: {!relatedto.trip_name__c} is below. <br />
<br /></p>
<c:TravelRegistry_Email_Template_Component TRID="{!RelatedTo.ID}"/>
</messaging:htmlEmailBody>
</messaging:emailTemplate>Here is the Component Code:
<apex:component controller="Travel_Itinerary_Print_Controller_Ext" access="global">
<apex:attribute name="TRID" type="ID" assignTo="{!TravelId}" description="Travel ID for the email template"/>
<c:TravelRegistry_Page_Header_For_Email />

}Any help or guidance you can give me is greatly appreciated!
I was able to resolve this issue with the help of Salesforce support.
There was a <apex:inputField> tag in my component that I had to remove in order to make it work.
The inputfield requires the <apex:form> tag, but the email template cannot contain the apex:form tag.
All Answers
can you confirm on below queries
Is the issue coming while saving the email template (compilation)?
The code you written have no mistakes. can you change api version and Encoding format..of the email template and save the template
Yes, I get the error when I try to save the Email Template.
I will try to change API. Not sure how to change encoding format?
Updated API to 29.0 and changed encoding to UTF, but I am still getting the errors.
Thanks for your help!
