[Tutorial] Adding attchement to mailalerts : New Order Message

[ndiaga 339]

Ok,

 

Here is how I did it:

in the function Main::send() , attachement is in the 9 position, variable number 9.

So in mailalerts count till variable 9 wich correspond to null by default. 

And then use this:

 

// Join PDF invoice
$id_order_state = Configuration::get('PS_OS_ERROR');
$order_status = new OrderState((int)$id_order_state, (int)$this->context->language->id);
if ((int)Configuration::get('PS_INVOICE') && $order_status->invoice && $order->invoice_number)
{
$pdf = new PDF($order->getInvoicesCollection(), PDF::TEMPLATE_INVOICE, $this->context->smarty);
$file_attachement['content'] = $pdf->render(false);
$file_attachement['name'] = Configuration::get('PS_INVOICE_PREFIX', (int)$order->id_lang, null, $order->id_shop).sprintf('%06d', $order->invoice_number).'.pdf';
$file_attachement['mime'] = 'application/pdf';
}

else
{ 

$file_attachement =null;

}

 
//So change myfile.pdf  to your file name.
//And here you go:
if ($dir_mail)
                Mail::Send(
                    $mail_id_lang,
                    'new_order',
                    sprintf(Mail::l('New order : #%d - %s', $mail_id_lang), $order->id, $order->reference),                            
                    $template_vars,
                    $merchant_mail,
                    null,
                    $configuration['PS_SHOP_EMAIL'],
                    $configuration['PS_SHOP_NAME'],
                    $attach,
                    null,
                    $dir_mail,
                    null,
                    $id_shop
                ); 

I just relaced the null to $attach . 

 

Here is the function that sends mails with all its variables:

	/**
	 * Send Email
	 *
	 * @param int $id_lang Language of the email (to translate the template)
	 * @param string $template Template: the name of template not be a var but a string !
	 * @param string $subject
	 * @param string $template_vars
	 * @param string $to
	 * @param string $to_name
	 * @param string $from
	 * @param string $from_name
	 * @param array $file_attachment Array with three parameters (content, mime and name). You can use an array of array to attach multiple files
	 * @param bool $modeSMTP
	 * @param string $template_path
	 * @param bool $die
     * @param string $bcc Bcc recipient
	 */
	Mail::Send($id_lang, $template, $subject, $template_vars, $to,
		$to_name = null, $from = null, $from_name = null, $file_attachment = null, $mode_smtp = null,
		$template_path = _PS_MAIL_DIR_, $die = false, $id_shop = null, $bcc = null);

So we are dealing with:

$file_attachment = null,
