I wish for a DW-tag that generates an UUID.

The tag needs to be Global and availible in all modules (espcially the Newsletter-module)

On a session level?

And would the session ID be adequate?

Yes, a session ID is adequate.
I have tried this allready, but the Newsletter V3 just renders the

<!--@Global:*->

- tag in the source code.
I have allso tried to use different date-tags with no luck.
To me it seems as the tags that are'nt a part of the Newsletter V3 module goes unrendered, allso the Globals.

Hi Richard

 

OK, in Newsletterv3 templates can behave a Little different. Basically all users receive the same newsletter from the same pageview, and the user does not have a session - only the sending administrator have that. So you can not use a session in that context.

 

The best Unique identifier you have in that context would be the userid or email which should be present.
