Email customer created by admin from control panel

[HT915]

When creating customers from control panel, it is possible to email them the password or a link where they can set it?

Hello

this feature is not available in prestashop by default.

 

you can achieve this with modifications of AdminCustomersController.php

add there function

     /**
     * sendConfirmationMail
     * @param Customer $customer
     * @return bool
     */
    protected function sendConfirmationMail(Customer $customer)
    {
        if (!Configuration::get('PS_CUSTOMER_CREATION_EMAIL')) {
            return true;
        }

        return Mail::Send(
            $this->context->language->id,
            'account',
            Mail::l('Welcome!'),
            array(
                '{firstname}' => $customer->firstname,
                '{lastname}' => $customer->lastname,
                '{email}' => $customer->email,
                '{passwd}' => Tools::getValue('passwd')),
            $customer->email,
            $customer->firstname.' '.$customer->lastname
        );
    }

and modify function processAdd() to:

    public function processAdd()
    {
        if (Tools::getValue('submitFormAjax')) {
            $this->redirect_after = false;
        }
        // Check that the new email is not already in use
        $customer_email = strval(Tools::getValue('email'));
        $customer = new Customer();
        if (Validate::isEmail($customer_email)) {
            $customer->getByEmail($customer_email);
        }
        if ($customer->id) {
            $this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('An account already exists for this email address:').' '.$customer_email;
            $this->display = 'edit';
            return $customer;
        } elseif (trim(Tools::getValue('passwd')) == '') {
            $this->validateRules();
            $this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('Password can not be empty.');
            $this->display = 'edit';
        } elseif ($customer = parent::processAdd()) {
            $this->context->smarty->assign('new_customer', $customer);
            $this->sendConfirmationMail($customer);
            return $customer;
        }
        return false;
    }

(i added sendConfirmationMail() function to last if condition

 

 

customer will receive the email then, the same as customer received while register during standard register process

Thank you Vekia, I tried exactly what you suggested but still no luck.

No errors but no email in customer inbox either.

My system seems to be properly configured as I receive the test email you send from "advanced parameters".

Any other idea?

[vekia]

can you please show full code that you modified?

Of course

code looks okay, it should send messages properly. 

 

please go to adv. parameters > emails

you can find there "emails log" with all emails that shop sent.

do you see on this list "welcome" email associated with email that you created in shop back office ?

I'm afraid there is no list, only an "log emails" button which is set to YES.

[HT915]

$this->sendConfirmationMail($customer) eval to false, I'm digging trying to figure how to add some extra debugging, maybe you can give me some hint about that.

 

Tried with

if(!$this->sendConfirmationMail($customer))
{
    die();
}

But there is no output.

what is the ps version ? (i need exact number)

[HT915]

what is the ps version ? (i need exact number)

 

1.6.1.10

[vekia]

so we have probably some issue

modification that i did was from ps 1.6.1.10

and under adv. parameters > email you should have a list of emails:

[HT915]

Alright found something in the logs

 

 

Error - La siguiente plantilla de correo no se encuentra: /var/www/html/shop/mails/es/account.txt

 

which translates in "The following email template was not found", or something.

 

I noticed /var/www/html/shop/mails/en/ has a lot of files but there is only lang.php at /var/www/html/shop/mails/es/

 

Is there a module or package I am missing?

[HT915]

I copied files from /var/www/html/shop/mails/en/ and now mail sends properly upon user creation.

It is in english tho, do I need to translate files myself or there is a package I am missing?
