Copy files from module to specific folders

[Rain_xx]

Hello,

I've got this big issue:

'til Prestashop v1.4 I get to copy a file form my module to the mail folder of my shop with this code:

!copy(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.'mails/'.$value.'/myfile.txt',_PS_MAIL_DIR_.'/'.$value.'/myfile.txt')

 

 

But it doesn't work from v1.5 ...what do I have to change?

 

 

Thanks a lot.

you do not need to copy mails (for modules), simply create a folder in your module folder called mails.

 

I hope this is what you were looking to solve.

Thanks for your reply.

 

..but simply creating the folder, I don't get my email template on the list in "Status order", so I can't select it.

oh, sorry for order states that is different.  Here is code I use that works for 1.4-1.5, probably 1.6 as well.

copy(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../modules/'.$this->name.'/copymails/en/filename.txt', dirname(__FILE__).'/../../mails/en/filename.txt');
copy(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../modules/'.$this->name.'/copymails/es/filename.html', dirname(__FILE__).'/../../mails/es/filename.html');

one must of course have write access which typically we do unless the shop file owner is not correct...

Is the "(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../modules/'.$this->name.'/" path absolute or I have to edit it?
I've put the mails folder in the main one: mymodule/mails.

I've put the mails folder in the main one: mymodule/mails.

 

in the example I gave my module has mails in copymails.  You would need to change this to match where in your module folder the mail templates are located.

of course. but I'm asking about the path that regards the bold part:

copy(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../modules/'.$this->name.'/copymails/en/filename.html'
