Send emails using magento's email template Mechanism

Send emails using magento's email template Mechanism

 

Article category: PHP programming

Magento's Mage: GetModel ('Core/email_template ') model can be used for sending mail.

 

Step I.

Add code under the root tag <config> of ETC/config. xml of your module (which can be used by any module)

XML Code

<Default>

<{Qualified name 1}>

<{Qualified name n}>

<Enabled> 1 </enabled>

<Template> {email template tag name} </template>

</{Qualified name n}>

</Name restriction>

</Default>

<Global>

<Template>

<Email>

<{Email template label name} translate = "label" module = "{Module name}">

<Label> {any identity name} </label>

<File> {email template HTML file name} </File>

<Type> HTML </type>

</{Email template Tag Name>

</Email>

</Template>

</Global>

 

A) define the new email template tag and template file name under global/template/email. The template file name is similar to the CMS page and should be placed under the APP/locale/{current language}/template/email directory or subdirectory.

B). Default/lower limit name 1... limit name n references the email template defined under global

Limit name 1... limit name n indicates that a tag can be nested with one or more layers for distinguishing from Other Default labels.

For example:

XML Code

<Default>

<Customer_email>

<Services_request>

<Enabled> 1 </enabled>

<Template> customer_email_service_template </template>

</Services_request>

</Customer_email>

</Default>

<Global>

<Template>

<Email>

<Customer_email_service_template translate = "label" module = "sales">

<Label> Customer Services request </label>

<File> customer_services.html </File>

<Type> HTML </type>

</Customer_email_service_template>

</Email>

</Template>

</Global>

 

Step II.

Create customer_services.html and place it in the app/locale/{current language}/template/email directory (content omitted ).

 

Step III. Code call example

PHP code

/* @ Var $ translate mage_core_model_translate */

$ Translate = Mage: getsingleton ('Core/translate ');

$ Translate-> settranslateinline (false );

 

$ Storeid = Mage: APP ()-> getstore ()-> GETID ();

$ Template = Mage: getstoreconfig ('customer _ email/services_request/template', $ storeid );

$ Recipient = array (

'Name' => 'Baby ',

'Email '=> 'elon. guo@gmail.com'

);

$ Sender = array (

'Name' => 'koda guo ',

'Email '=> 'oda. guo@gmail.com'

);

 

$ Mailtemplate = Mage: GetModel ('Core/email_template ');

$ Mailtemplate-> setdesignconfig (Array ('area '=> 'frontend', 'store' => $ storeid ))

-> Sendtransactional (

$ Template,

$ Sender,

$ Recipient ['email '],

$ Recipient ['name'],

Array (// parameters to email

'Param1' => 'abc ',

'Param2' => 'def ',

'Param3' => 'ghi'

)

);

$ Translate-> settranslateinline (true );

 

 

Using the magento template mechanism, once a new template is defined, the template can be customized at system> transactional mail in the background to facilitate maintenance.
