I need to create a new handle (I think) to a module that sends a email order notification to admin. The module uses that same default.phtml template for both the emails sent to admin and to the customer. I need to add custom product attributes to the email that gets sent to the admin but doesn't show up on the emails sent to the customer. If I could use a different default.phtml email template for the email sent to admin seems to be what I need.
I found some tutorials about creating custom handles but nothing about creating email handles. Following this Magento Observers, Layout Handles, & Frontend Page Views Here's what I have so far.
In my modules config.xml I added <controller_action_layout_load_before> like this:
<config>
<modules>
<Inchoo_AdminOrderNotifier>
<version>1.0.0.0</version>
</Inchoo_AdminOrderNotifier>
</modules>
<global>
<models>
<inchoo_adminOrderNotifier>
<class>Inchoo_AdminOrderNotifier_Model</class>
</inchoo_adminOrderNotifier>
</models>
<helpers>
<inchoo_adminOrderNotifier>
<class>Inchoo_AdminOrderNotifier_Helper</class>
</inchoo_adminOrderNotifier>
</helpers>
<blocks>
<inchoo_adminOrderNotifier>
<class>Inchoo_AdminOrderNotifier_Block</class>
</inchoo_adminOrderNotifier>
</blocks>
<template>
<email>
<sales_inchoo_adminOrderNotifier_email_template>
<label>Inchoo Admin Order Notifier</label>
<file>inchoo_adminOrderNotifier.html</file>
<type>html</type>
</sales_inchoo_adminOrderNotifier_email_template>
</email>
</template>
<events>
<sales_order_place_after>
<observers>
<inchoo_adminOrderNotifier_sendNotificationEmailToAdmin>
<class>inchoo_adminOrderNotifier/observer</class>
<method>sendNotificationEmailToAdmin</method>
</inchoo_adminOrderNotifier_sendNotificationEmailToAdmin>
</observers>
</sales_order_place_after>
</events>
</global>
<frontend>
<events>
<controller_action_layout_load_before>
<observers>
<inchoo_adminOrderNotifier_sendNotificationEmailToAdmin>
<class>inchoo_adminOrderNotifier/observer</class>
<method>addHandles</method>
</inchoo_adminOrderNotifier_sendNotificationEmailToAdmin>
</observers>
</controller_action_layout_load_before>
</events>
</frontend>
</config>
In my Observer.php I added the code (at the bottom) ...I know is incorrect but I think I have it in the correct location. :)
class Inchoo_AdminOrderNotifier_Model_Observer extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
public function sendNotificationEmailToAdmin($observer)
{
$order = $observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
$storeId = $order->getStoreId();
$helper = Mage::helper('inchoo_adminOrderNotifier');
if (!$helper->isModuleEnabled($storeId)) {
return;
}
try {
$paymentBlock = Mage::helper('payment')->getInfoBlock($order->getPayment())
->setIsSecureMode(true);
$paymentBlock->getMethod()->setStore($storeId);
$paymentBlockHtml = $paymentBlock->toHtml();
$emailTemplateVariables = array(
'order' => $order,
'billing' => $order->getBillingAddress(),
'payment_html' => $paymentBlockHtml
);
$templateId = $helper->getEmailTemplate($storeId);
$mailer = Mage::getModel('core/email_template_mailer');
if ($helper->getNotifyGeneralEmail()) {
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('general', 'email'), $helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('general', 'name'));
$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
}
if ($helper->getNotifySalesEmail()) {
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('sales', 'email'), $helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('sales', 'name'));
$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
}
if ($helper->getNotifySupportEmail()) {
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('support', 'email'), $helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('support', 'name'));
$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
}
if ($helper->getNotifyCustom1Email()) {
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('custom1', 'email'), $helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('custom1', 'name'));
$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
}
if ($helper->getNotifyCustom2Email()) {
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('custom2', 'email'), $helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('custom2', 'name'));
$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
}
foreach ($helper->getNotifyEmails() as $entry) {
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($entry['email'], $entry['name']);
$mailer->addEmailInfo($emailInfo);
}
$mailer->setSender(array(
'name' => $helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('general', 'name'),
'email' => $helper->getStoreEmailAddressSenderOption('general', 'email'),
));
$mailer->setStoreId($storeId);
$mailer->setTemplateId($templateId);
$mailer->setTemplateParams($emailTemplateVariables);
$mailer->send();
} catch (Exception $e) {
Mage::logException($e);
}
}
<?php /** I added this **/ ?>
public function addHandles($observer) {
$category = Mage::registry('current_category');
if ($category instanceof Mage_Catalog_Model_Category) {
$update = Mage::getSingleton('core/layout')->getUpdate();
$fertilility = (<a href="http://www.php.net/count" target="_blank">count</a>($category->getChildrenCategories()->getData())) ? 'parent' : 'nochildren';
$update->addHandle('catalog_category_' . $fertilility);
}
return $this;
}
}
What I think I need to do and trying to do is to create a handle like {{layout handle="sales_admin_email_order_items" order=$order}} ...the original handle is {{layout handle="sales_email_order_items" order=$order}}
Then in my local.xml (if all works) I should be able to add my new email handle like this (except changing the default.phtml):
<sales_admin_email_order_items>
<block type="sales/order_email_items" name="items" template="email/order/items.phtml">
<action method="addItemRender"><type>default</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_default</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
<action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_grouped</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
<block type="sales/order_totals" name="order_totals" template="sales/order/totals.phtml">
<action method="setLabelProperties"><value>colspan="3" align="right" style="padding:3px 9px"</value></action>
<action method="setValueProperties"><value>align="right" style="padding:3px 9px"</value></action>
<block type="tax/sales_order_tax" name="tax" template="tax/order/tax.phtml">
<action method="setIsPlaneMode"><value>1</value></action>
</block>
</block>
</block>
<block type="core/text_list" name="additional.product.info" />
</sales_admin_email_order_items>
correct?
Anyway, the problem is I don't know how to code the Observer.php file correctly and can't find it on Google. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
