Insert other variables to mail templates

[Mercader Virtual]

Hi,

I would like to know where can I set variables for mail templates. FOr example,

payment.html is the template used to send an Email when payment status is set. I need to know where is the hook to add more variables.

Any idea ?

Thanks.

Just as aside as I wasted some time sorting this out, although the mail templates look like Smarty templates, they are not. The Swift mail engine uses a simple search and replace mechanism (based around str_replace) so you cannot use Smarty constructs like "{if}foo{else}bar{/if}" or loops or anything like that. Not sure why this was done but that's how it is.

That said, it probably would not be that hard to add in Smarty suppport to Swify by adjusting the "Decorator" plugin to call it.

Cheers
