How to get custom e-mail template by name?

Question

I have following custom e-mail templates and want to send them to particular customer.

My magento function as follows but fails to get relevant e-mail template.

$emailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template')->loadDefault('Newsletter subscription success new');


        $mail = Mage::getModel('core/email');
        $mail->setToName('John Customer');
        $mail->setToEmail('[email protected]');
        $mail->setBody($emailTemplate);
        $mail->setSubject('The Subject');
        $mail->setFromEmail('[email protected]');
        $mail->setFromName("Your Name");
        $mail->setType('text');// You can use 'html' or 'text'

        try {
            $mail->send();
            Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addSuccess('Your request has been sent');
            $this->_redirect('');
        }
        catch (Exception $e) {
            Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->addError('Unable to send.');
            $this->_redirect('');
        }

Answer 1

Here is the answer for your question.

$emailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template')->loadByCode('Newsletter subscription success new');

Try with following full code

        $emailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template')->loadByCode('Newsletter subscription success new');


        $emailTemplateVariables = array(
           'some_custom_variable' => 'Your Variable'
        );

        $processedTemplate = $emailTemplate->getProcessedTemplate($emailTemplateVariables);

        $emailTemplate->setSenderName('Your Name');
        $emailTemplate->setSenderEmail('[email protected]');
        $emailTemplate->setTemplateSubject("e-mail Subject");

        $emailTemplate->send('[email protected]', 'Your Name', $emailTemplateVariables);
