Orders - New Status With Email

[anatolesaby]

Hi everybody,

 

I have the following problem :

I create a new order status, with an associate e-mail that I have created before. When I change my order status to my new one, the email is well sent but the variables in the email are not interpreted. In fact, I don't know how to associate some variables into my email...

 

Someone knows how can I do this (excepting by developping it ) ?

 

Thanks

Hi,

I assume you also created a custom function to send out emails. Here is the send function, as it appears in the Mail class

 

public static function Send($id_lang, $template, $subject, $template_vars, $to,
 $to_name = null, $from = null, $from_name = null, $file_attachment = null, $mode_smtp = null, $template_path = _PS_MAIL_DIR_, $die = false, $id_shop = null)

 

As you can see, there is a "template_vars" variable. That is supposed to be an array with your template variables, setup like this:

array(
'{name}' => $name,
'{address}' => $this->address
);

 

Of course, those php variables are just examples. The important part is the array key, which must be a string with brackets

Sorry for digging this thread up, but i have a similar problem.

 

I don´t use an own send function but want to use the order status mail function.

$this->module->validateOrder((int)$cart->id, Configuration::get('PS_OS_PAYMENTMODULE'), $total, $this->module->displayName, $message, $mailVars, (int)$currency->id, false, $customer->secure_key);

Only the Variables {lastname} {firstname} {id_order} {order_name} and {total_paid} work and of course fixed varibales like

'{email}' => 'testtesttest

 

But not Variables like

'{invoice_firstname}' => $invoice->firstname,

'{invoice_city}' => $this->context->address_invoice->city, or

'{invoice_postal_code}' => $cart->address_invoice->postal_code,

 

Has anyone an idea?

Where are you trying to use them exactly? In a custom script?

[OliB]

For example i try to use them in \modules\bankwire\controllers\front\validation.php

Or \modules\cheque\controllers\front\validation.php

[NemoPS]

hm, perhaps I'm missing something but can you show us exactly what you are try to achieve? Are you adding them to mail_vars or?

[OliB]

Thank you for your patience.

 

I solved it

 

Here ist the full code for the file \modules\cheque\controllers\front\validation.php

class ChequeValidationModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
	public function postProcess()
	{
		$cart = $this->context->cart;
		
		$invoice = new Address((int)$cart->id_address_invoice);
		$customer = new Customer($cart->id_customer);
				
		if ($cart->id_customer == 0 || $cart->id_address_delivery == 0 || $cart->id_address_invoice == 0 || !$this->module->active)
			Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=order&step=1');

		// Check that this payment option is still available in case the customer changed his address just before the end of the checkout process
		$authorized = false;
		foreach (Module::getPaymentModules() as $module)
			if ($module['name'] == 'cheque')
			{
				$authorized = true;
				break;
			}

		if (!$authorized)
			die($this->module->l('This payment method is not available.', 'validation'));

		 

		if (!Validate::isLoadedObject($customer))
			Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=order&step=1');

		$currency = $this->context->currency;
		$total = (float)$cart->getOrderTotal(true, Cart::BOTH);

		$mailVars =	array(
			'{cheque_name}' => Configuration::get('CHEQUE_NAME'),
			'{cheque_address}' => Configuration::get('CHEQUE_ADDRESS'),
			'{cheque_address_html}' => str_replace("\n", '<br />', Configuration::get('CHEQUE_ADDRESS')),
			'{email}' => $this->context->customer->email,
			'{date}' => Tools::displayDate(date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),null , 0),			
			'{invoice_company}' => $invoice->company,
			'{invoice_firstname}' => $invoice->firstname,
			'{invoice_lastname}' => $invoice->lastname,
			'{invoice_address2}' => $invoice->address1,
			'{invoice_address1}' => $invoice->address2,
			'{invoice_city}' => $invoice->city,
			'{invoice_postal_code}' => $invoice->postal_code,
			'{invoice_country}' => $invoice->country
			
			);

		$this->module->validateOrder((int)$cart->id, Configuration::get('PS_OS_CHEQUE'), $total, $this->module->displayName, NULL, $mailVars, (int)$currency->id, false, $customer->secure_key);
		Tools::redirect('index.php?controller=order-confirmation&id_cart='.(int)$cart->id.'&id_module='.(int)$this->module->id.'&id_order='.$this->module->currentOrder.'&key='.$customer->secure_key);
	}
}

Important is the line:

$invoice = new Address((int)$cart->id_address_invoice);

Can I do it this way, or is there any security issue?

It should be fine as you are typecasting. If you want to further check it try with Validate::isLoadedObject on $invoice
