Hi,

Does somebody know How to add several attached files in emaill using Mail::Send function ?

I'm looking for this solution to send several PDF files in an email sending by a module.

 

Please let me know if you have the solution!

the Mail::Send function only allows for sending a single attachment currently. It would need to be overridden to allow a module to send in multiple attachment files.

Do you have the code to implement as override to send multiple attachment files because I'm a newbie ?

[bellini13]

no, I have not altered it. If you would like to hire me for this, you can send me a PM with the details of what you are trying to accomplish.

I thought that somebody of the PS community could give me some help and tell me how to modify the mail class.

 

For exple I think about a code modification of the send function, but I think that there are more modification to add if I want to get the possibility to send 10 attached files in a email

 

Code now :

 

if ($fileAttachment AND isset($fileAttachment['content']) AND isset($fileAttachment['name']) AND isset($fileAttachment['mime']))

                                $message->attach(new Swift_Message_Attachment($fileAttachment['content'], $fileAttachment['name'], $fileAttachment['mime']));

 

Remplaced by something like:

 

 

foreach ($filesAttachment as $fileAttachment)

if (isset($fileAttachment['content']) AND isset($fileAttachment['name']) AND isset($fileAttachment['mime']))

                                $message->attach(new Swift_Message_Attachment($fileAttachment['content'], $fileAttachment['name'], $fileAttachment['mime']));

If anyone is looking for an updated answer, I have actually made a solution for PrestaShop 8.1.0, because I needed to develop a way to attach a PDF-file with Terms & Conditions to the order-confirmation-email.

To do this, I simply made an override for the Mail.php-class and the magic was essentially done by these lines:

        if ($template == 'order_conf'){                        
            $message->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('TermsAndConditions.pdf'));
        }

(where the PDF-file called "TermsAndConditions.pdf" must be placed in the root folder of the site)

 

To make this solution, I created a file called Mail.php in the folder "\override\classes" of the PrestaShop-installation.

In this file, I created a class that started with this line:

class Mail extends MailCore {

and then inside that class, I pasted the (entire) public static function called "send()", which I copied from \classes\Mail.php of the PrestaShop-installation.

So, open the file \classes\Mail.php and copy the entire send()-function, which starts around line 132 and ends around line 669 - and then paste this function into the new extension class in "\override\classes\Mail.php", as mentioned above.

And then insert these new lines:

        if ($template == 'order_conf'){                        
            $message->attach(Swift_Attachment::fromPath('TermsAndConditions.pdf'));
        } 

right above these lines (found somewhere around line 505 in the new file, and line 604 in the original file, respectively):

            if (!empty($fileAttachment)) {
                // Multiple attachments?
                if (!is_array(current($fileAttachment))) {

 

And then make sure that you have a PDF-file in the site's root-folder called TermsAndConditions.pdf

 

If you want to know more about attaching files with Swift-mailer, you can find pretty good info here: https://swiftmailer.symfony.com/docs/messages.html#attaching-files

 

Also, I would have liked to simply share my entire override-file to make it easier for you, but this forum-software wouldn't allow me to do so (maybe because of a faulty Cloudflare-implementation on prestashop.com). Someone should really look into this issue, as it prevents people from sharing solutions with each other. Not good for the open source community!!
