How to send two email in magento with different template? - magento

Question

Is it possible to send two email in magento on order with different template, please tell how, or any extension available?

Answer 1

Sorry, my solution not very clear sometimes.
For test purposes I created new template, based on existing 'New order' in System / Email Templates.
Then create system.xml file where we can add new fields with template selectors:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<sections>
<sales_email>
<groups>
<order>
<fields>
<template2>
<label>222 New Order Confirmation Template</label>
<frontend_type>select</frontend_type>
<source_model>adminhtml/system_config_source_email_template</source_model>
<sort_order>3</sort_order>
<show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
<show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
<show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
</template2>
<guest_template2 translate="label">
<label>222 New Order Confirmation Template for Guest</label>
<frontend_type>select</frontend_type>
<source_model>adminhtml/system_config_source_email_template</source_model>
<sort_order>4</sort_order>
<show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
<show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
<show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
</guest_template2>
</fields>
</order>
</groups>
</sales_email>
</sections>
</config>
As you can see we created two new fields template2 and guest_template2.
Then create your own new model, which extends !!!NOT REWRITES!!! Mage_Sales_Model_Order
Add there two new constants
class Vendor_Somemodule_Model_Order extends Mage_Sales_Model_Order
{
const XML_PATH_EMAIL_TEMPLATE = 'sales_email/order/template2';
const XML_PATH_EMAIL_GUEST_TEMPLATE = 'sales_email/order/guest_template2';
and copy-paste method sendNewOrderEmail(). In this method remove two rows at the bottom
$this->setEmailSent(true);
$this->_getResource()->saveAttribute($this, 'email_sent');
And your result will be:
public function sendNewOrderEmail()
{
$storeId = $this->getStore()->getId();
if (!Mage::helper('sales')->canSendNewOrderEmail($storeId)) {
return $this;
}
$emailSentAttributeValue = $this->load($this->getId())->getData('email_sent');
$this->setEmailSent((bool)$emailSentAttributeValue);
if ($this->getEmailSent()) {
return $this;
}
// Get the destination email addresses to send copies to
$copyTo = $this->_getEmails(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_COPY_TO);
$copyMethod = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_COPY_METHOD, $storeId);
// Start store emulation process
$appEmulation = Mage::getSingleton('core/app_emulation');
$initialEnvironmentInfo = $appEmulation->startEnvironmentEmulation($storeId);
try {
// Retrieve specified view block from appropriate design package (depends on emulated store)
$paymentBlock = Mage::helper('payment')->getInfoBlock($this->getPayment())
->setIsSecureMode(true);
$paymentBlock->getMethod()->setStore($storeId);
$paymentBlockHtml = $paymentBlock->toHtml();
} catch (Exception $exception) {
// Stop store emulation process
$appEmulation->stopEnvironmentEmulation($initialEnvironmentInfo);
throw $exception;
}
// Stop store emulation process
$appEmulation->stopEnvironmentEmulation($initialEnvironmentInfo);
// Retrieve corresponding email template id and customer name
if ($this->getCustomerIsGuest()) {
$templateId = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_GUEST_TEMPLATE, $storeId);
$customerName = $this->getBillingAddress()->getName();
} else {
$templateId = Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, $storeId);
$customerName = $this->getCustomerName();
}
$mailer = Mage::getModel('core/email_template_mailer');
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($this->getCustomerEmail(), $customerName);
if ($copyTo && $copyMethod == 'bcc') {
// Add bcc to customer email
foreach ($copyTo as $email) {
$emailInfo->addBcc($email);
}
}
$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
// Email copies are sent as separated emails if their copy method is 'copy'
if ($copyTo && $copyMethod == 'copy') {
foreach ($copyTo as $email) {
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($email);
$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
}
}
// Set all required params and send emails
$mailer->setSender(Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_IDENTITY, $storeId));
$mailer->setStoreId($storeId);
$mailer->setTemplateId($templateId);
$mailer->setTemplateParams(array(
'order' => $this,
'billing' => $this->getBillingAddress(),
'payment_html' => $paymentBlockHtml
)
);
$mailer->send();
return $this;
}
Then you just need to call this method before magento call this method itself after order placed.
put in config.xml following:
<global>
<models>
<somemodule>
<class>Vendor_Somemodule_Model</class>
</somemodule>
</models>
<events>
<checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after>
<observers>
<send_duplicate_email>
<type>singleton</type>
<class>somemodule/observer</class>
<method>saveDuplicateEmail</method>
</send_duplicate_email>
</observers>
</checkout_type_onepage_save_order_after>
</events>
</global>
and create necessary observer:
class Vendor_Somemodule_Model_Observer
{
public function saveDuplicateEmail($observer)
{
$orderId = $observer->getOrder()->getId();
$order = Mage::getModel('somemodule/order')->load($orderId);
$order->sendNewOrderEmail();
}
}
