Magento: Based on certain customer data I need to send a copy of the confirmation email to other email addresses.
I created an observer to catch the order data
checkout_onepage_controller_success_action
In my observer class I load all data I need with
Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($observer->getOrderIds());
That works like a charm.
Now some code is selecting the email address where the copy supposed to go to.
But how can I send a copy of the order confirmation email to (always different) email addresses?
$order->sendNewOrderEmail();
Above doesn’t work for me because I need the recipient as a parameter.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
The simplest way would be to create your own order class:
class My_Mymodule_Model_Sales_Order extends Mage_Sales_Model_Order {
public function sendNewOrderCustomEmail($email) {
// copy from parent's sendNewOrderEmail method with changed this line
// $emailInfo->addTo($this->getCustomerEmail(), $customerName);
}
}
And then in your event, use
Mage::getModel('mymodule/sales_order')
->load($order_id)
->sendNewOrderCustomEmail('myemail#...');
Magento takes emails from order data.
Try:
$order->setCustomerEmail("new#email.com");
$order->sendNewOrderEmail();

I have an unsubscribe link that looks like this:
example.com/unsubscribe?u=foo&id=bar
This loads the typical mailchimp unsubscribe form. Is it possible to have the email address pre-populated somehow? Perhaps by adding the email in some query string parameter.
I believe you can add the parameter on the end of the URL
&EMAIL=user#domain.co.uk
I'm using the default net/pop class in order to fetch emails from a specific email account. From each message, I need to read all attachments and extract some data from them. But I can't find any way to achieve that! Seems like the POPMail class doesn't have a specific method to get the message's attachments.
On the page, there will be several posts by a user. Each post has an id # to identify it which is used when editing or deleting the post. With blade, I can make it so that hidden ID div only shows up when the authenticated user is on their own profile (since only they are allowed to edit or delete the posts).
However, I also have a liking feature that also uses that hidden ID div. I don't want someone to view the page source, change the ID, then click the like button. Is there a way to include the ID in the view, but not allow it to be changed?
I could try do to some validation on each like such as match the user, body, time posted, and ID and if that doesn't match then throw an error. Curious if there's a better way.
View:
<div class="post-like">
Like
</div>
Controller:
The $postId is that hidden ID div
public function getLike($postId)
{
$post = Post::find($postId);
if (!$post) {
return redirect()->back();
}
if (Auth::user()->hasLikedPost($post)) {
return redirect()->back();
}
$like = $post->likes()->create([]);
Auth::user()->likes()->save($like);
return redirect()->back();
}
It's not wise expose users' ID like this, but if you really need it, Laravel provides a way to handle users' action authorization. It can be done using either policies or model scopes.
Alternatively, you can ignore those authorizations and use UUID instead ID.
There is a nice package that handles it for you. Basically you'll just need to add a new field to the users' table.
In my applications I use both of them.
If I understand your question correctly, here's one idea: you can hide the actual post ID by concatenating your ID with some server-side only "key" and hashing.
For example:
In your app.php you add something like "post_mask_key" => "super_secret_123456"
...and in your code, something like:
$maskedPostId = sha1(\Config::get("app.post_mask_key") . $postId);
Then, share $maskedPostId with your view, which will be embedded into the HTML. The user can try to change it but when it is submitted, you can re-generate the hash easily (since you know both the key and ID server side) and compare the two.
Note: this approach is cryptographically weak but should be sufficient for masking a non-critical item like a post ID.
I've seen a bunch of articles (mostly 3-5 years old) detailing various methods of getting the customer's first name into the order confirmation email but I just get either a blank, or unparsed PHP.
For example this:
<?php echo $this->__('Hello, %s', Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getFirstname()); ?>
Renders in the email like this:
__('Hello, %s', Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getFirstname()); ?>
Could somebody point me in the right direction? This is on Community Edition 1.7.
Thanks
[EDITED] You can't use PHP code in your email-templates directly. If you want to insert dynamic data into your email-templates, you have two possibilities:
a) In every transactional email you can access the methods of the model, which is in charge for the transactional email, it is: for mails dealing with orders, this is the order-Model, for mails dealing with newsletters, this is the newsletter-model and so on. You can access the methods with the syntax:
{{var model.method()}}
So, in your case, to access the customer's first name in an order confirmation email, you need to look for a suiting method in the order Model, which is getCustomerFirstname() .
Then you can call it, following the given syntax:
{{var order.getCustomerFirstname()}}
b) You can include dynamic data into your email-template by creating a custom phtml-template and including it into your email-template via the {{block}} directive (as pointed out by benmarks in the comment below)
I'm trying to display the payment method in the email subject for new order emails in Magento. The reason being is so that our client can easily determine from the subject of emails send from Magento whether the order came via the payment gateway or Paypal Express.
I'm not entirely sure of the best way to achieve this, I would like to think there is already something available I could use for this.
{{var payment_html}}
returns the payment method block for email templates...
{{var paymentMethod}}
returns absolutely nothing in the email subject so unsure whether this is a depreciated variable now.
I suppose there is also the option of creating a custom attribute, calling it in a static block and then displaying this as a custom variable in the email templates but it seems a rather long winded approach just to purely get a text string of "via SagePay" or "via Paypal Express".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You actually don't need to perform any customization, this variable is already available in the template though the object chain. This chain is supported by Magento template and allows usage of getters of the object.
In this case you need to retrieve order's payment object, then retrieve its method instance and retrieve method title from method instance. It is very simple construction:
{{var order.getPayment().getMethodInstance().getTitle()}}
This should help you!
Method Mage_Sales_Model_Order::sendNewOrderEmail() is responsible for sending new ordr emails.
$paymentBlock = Mage::helper('payment')->getInfoBlock($this->getPayment())
->setIsSecureMode(true);
$paymentBlock->getMethod()->setStore($storeId);
$paymentBlockHtml = $paymentBlock->toHtml();
...
$mailer->setTemplateParams(array(
'order' => $this,
'billing' => $this->getBillingAddress(),
'payment_html' => $paymentBlockHtml
)
payment_html is rendered html output of the block, so you can not use it.
You can add one more assoc key (using rewite or local/mage trick) with the payment method and add this param to the subject using transactional emails.
