ForkTemplate
Here's a little chunk of code you can use in a template to send different responses depending upon a condition of your choice, without hardcoding your variants into the code:
{#Reminder to include a blank line above your actual text if not including any headers }
Optional common intro
{
use RT::Template;
my $selector = $Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue('selector');
my $obj = new RT::Template($RT::SystemUser);
$obj->Load( $selector < 5 ? 'Template A' : 'Template B');
#Save some cycles for plain text "templates"
$obj->Content();
#OR
#Process embedded fields & expressions of true templates;
#note that we can only meaningfully use the body
# my($ret, $msg) = $obj->Parse();
# $ret ? $obj->MIMEObj->stringify_body : $msg;
}
Optional common outro
This will inject the contents of another template into the current one. It's an easy way to provide some common and some specific content in a response, or to create a template which acts as a switch without having to create separate scrips for each condition. The latter effect could also be achieved through the clever use of $self->SetTemplate in CustomCondition.
my $trans = $self->TransactionObj; return 0 unless $trans->Type eq "Create"; $self->SetTemplate( $condition ? 'foo' : 'bar' );
