I've been looking through files and scratching my head. Where is the function to send new account creation emails? And once I find it what variable would I use to refer to a particular customer group?
EDIT 2/18 Per the suggestion below I am looking at the Customer.php file and see the following function:
public function sendNewAccountEmail($type = 'registered', $backUrl = '', $storeId = '0')
{
$types = array(
'registered' => self::XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, // welcome email, when confirmation is disabled
'confirmed' => self::XML_PATH_CONFIRMED_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, // welcome email, when confirmation is enabled
'confirmation' => self::XML_PATH_CONFIRM_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, // email with confirmation link
);
if (!isset($types[$type])) {
Mage::throwException(Mage::helper('customer')->__('Wrong transactional account email type'));
}
if (!$storeId) {
$storeId = $this->_getWebsiteStoreId($this->getSendemailStoreId());
}
$this->_sendEmailTemplate($types[$type], self::XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_IDENTITY,
array('customer' => $this, 'back_url' => $backUrl), $storeId);
return $this;
}
I assume I can set a different type in the $types array but how do I access the constant const XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_IDENTITY = 'customer/create_account/email_identity' to set a new type condition? I haven't yet figured out how to find xml paths.
Edit 2/21
I've copied the whole module file and renamed it and created it as my own module. I changed the following in the config file:
<customer_create_account_email_template_dvm translate="label" module="customer">
<label>New account DVM</label>
<file>account_new_dvm.html</file>
<type>html</type>
</customer_create_account_email_template_dvm>
To add my template and also here second from bottom.
<create_account>
<confirm>0</confirm>
<default_group>1</default_group>
<tax_calculation_address_type>billing</tax_calculation_address_type>
<email_domain>example.com</email_domain>
<email_identity>general</email_identity>
<email_template>customer_create_account_email_template</email_template>
<email_confirmation_template>customer_create_account_email_confirmation_template</email_confirmation_template>
<email_register_template_dvm>customer_create_account_email_register_template_dvm</email_register_template_dvm>
<email_confirmed_template>customer_create_account_email_confirmed_template</email_confirmed_template>
<vat_frontend_visibility>0</vat_frontend_visibility>
</create_account>
Then added the constant to Customer.php
const XML_PATH_CONFIRM_EMAIL_TEMPLATE_DVM = 'customer/create_account/email_confirmation_template_dvm';
and modified function:
public function sendNewAccountEmail($type = 'registered', $backUrl = '', $storeId = '0')
{
Mage::getSingleton('core/session', array('name'=>'frontend'));
$session = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session');
//Caitlin Havener
//What Group do you belong to?
if($session->isLoggedIn()) {
$customerGroupID = $session->getCustomerGroupId();
print("Customer Group ID is ". $customerID);
} else {
echo 'Not logged In';
}
//If you are DVM set your type
if ($customerGroupID==5)
{
$type = 'dvm';
}
$types = array(
'registered' => self::XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, // welcome email, when confirmation is disabled
'confirmed' => self::XML_PATH_CONFIRMED_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, // welcome email, when confirmation is enabled
'confirmation' => self::XML_PATH_CONFIRM_EMAIL_TEMPLATE, // email with confirmation link
'dvm' => self::XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_TEMPLATE_DVM, // dvm new account email
);
if (!isset($types[$type])) {
Mage::throwException(Mage::helper('customer')->__('Wrong transactional account email type'));
}
if (!$storeId) {
$storeId = $this->_getWebsiteStoreId($this->getSendemailStoreId());
}
$this->_sendEmailTemplate($types[$type], self::XML_PATH_REGISTER_EMAIL_IDENTITY,
array('customer' => $this, 'back_url' => $backUrl), $storeId);
return $this;
}
I tested it out and it does not work. As you can see I have some echos to trace, but I'm not sure how to directly debug this. I have Firebug but can't figure out how to use it. Any suggestions would be more than greatly appreciated. Would $session->isLoggedIn() evaluate false?
UPDATE 2/27/13___________________________________________ @Meabed I'm trying to replicate what you are doing in blog post. I made a folder called CaitlinHavener, put DVMCustomer directory in it and an etc folder within that. I have config.xml inside of it:
<template>
<email>
<CaitlinHavener_DVMCustomer translate="label" module="mymodule">
<label>DVMCustomer Template</label>
<file>custom/mytemplate.html</file>
<type>html</type>
</CaitlinHavener_DVMCustomer>
</email>
</template>
and inside system.xml I have:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<sections>
<customer translate="label" module="mymodule">
<groups>
<custom_email translate="label">
<label>DVM Custom Template</label>
<frontend_type>text</frontend_type>
<sort_order>5</sort_order>
<show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
<show_in_website>0</show_in_website>
<show_in_store>0</show_in_store>
<fields>
<exist_user_template translate="label">
<label>DVM Custom 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>
</exist_user_template>
</fields>
</custom_email>
</groups>
</customer>
</sections>
</config>
I created a modules xml called CaitlinHavener_DVMCustomer.xml and put it in the modules folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<modules>
<CaitlinHavener_DVMCustomer>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</CaitlinHavener_DVMCustomer>
</modules>
</config>
When I go to system>config>advanced I can see that the system registers the module but when I go to system>transactional emails I do not see it there or when I create new template and select "load template".
Do you see what I am doing wrong?
