Mail Alert to admin on order except for 1 customers' group

[Jaguaro]

Hi,

I would like to customize Prestashop 1.6 in a way that allows to:

 

- send automatic mails to an admin / vendor when a order is placed

- except when 1 specific customers' group places orders (this specific customers' group refers to our Point of Sale System, which does not require manual order management).

 

At the moment I can use Mail Alert but I can't block a customers' group.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks in advance.

just need to customize your mailalerts module so it first looks at the customers group before it sends the email.  If you are looking to hire someone to do this, feel free to send me a PM or contact me via my website

Hi Bellini, thanks for your answer. Since my budget is very low I was considering to try to do the mod myself. Any advice?

edit mailalerts.php and search for the function hookActionValidateOrder.  This is where the module will detect a new order and send the email.

 

Inside this function you will find the customer object variable, you should be able to use this to locate the customers group, and then return false if the customer is in the POS group.

Thank you! In the weekend I'll try. If I have problems I'll ask for your help
