Display line in transactional e-mail if payment method is

Question

I want to display a line only when the customer selects payment method checkout money order. When a customer select money order as payment method, I want to display a <li> additional line to the transaction e-mail.

If the customer selects an other payment method, the additional <li> should be hidden.

I tried this code, but that does not work:

{{depend order.getPayment().getMethod() == "checkmo"}}
    <li>payment check</li>
{{/depend}}

How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

In this case you can mange this by handler.

Use Handler:

Create handler and define it at layout file:

create a handler and using this handler rendered a phtml file . On local.xml at app/design/frontend/YOUR_PAackage/YOUR_template/layout define handler.

Layout file code like:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <layout version="0.1.0">
<!-- add new handler -->
        <amit_customer_addhan>
            <block type="core/template" name="addNewLi" template="sales/showcheckmo.phtml" />
        </amit_customer_addhan>
    </layout>

Call this handler at email template

Then on email html call this handler(locale/YourLANG/template/email/)

{{layout handle="amit_customer_addhan" order=$order}}

phtml file code:

Then on phtml file put code like to show extra li

  <?php if($this->getOrder()->getPayment()->getMethodInstance()->getCode()=='checkmo'):?>
      <li>payment check</li>
     <?php endif;?>

Edit: location of phtml file is: app/design/frontend/YOUR_PAackage/YOUR_template/template/sales/

OR: Without call of handler:

call a block file without layout handler and ans parameter for

 {{block type='core/template' area='frontend' template='sales/showcheckmo.phtml' order=$order}}

In this case,need set to mangento area as frontend as phtml file calling from here

Answer 2

order.getPayment().getMethodInstance().getCode() == 'banktransfer'

Answer 3

I'l try to answer on your initial question - how to use directive with condition. For debug I use xDebug. And in my opinion its very hard to debug emails. In that case I show you an example with the same structure in another part of magento.

On sales/order/view there is same structure. The address output structure determined in Mage/Core/etc/config.xml in default/customer/address_templates/text.

Our task will be add any condition to show or not to show 'company name'. Directives such as var, depend, if parse in Varien_Filter_Template in method filter($value). In this method there is iteration of all $constructions (if/depend/var) and every $construction used in this call:

$replacedValue = call_user_func($callback, $construction);

For each if/depende/var there is its own method. Lets look at public function ifDirective($construction)

public function ifDirective($construction)
{
    if (count($this->_templateVars) == 0) {
        return $construction[0];
    }

    if($this->_getVariable($construction[1], '') == '') {
        if (isset($construction[3]) && isset($construction[4])) {
            return $construction[4];
        }
        return '';
    } else {
        return $construction[2];
    }
}

Now lets look at protected method _getVariable. I'd like to draw your attention on one row:

} elseif (isset($stackVars[$i-1]['variable']) && $stackVars[$i-1]['variable'] instanceof Varien_Object) {

and look at the comment below:

// If object calling methods or getting properties

So to make condition our $stackVars should be an object and be an instace of Varien_Object (most of models extends from Mage_Core_Model_Abstract, which extends from Varien_Object). Lets climb a few steps above. We need to add to stackVars and object.

In my example in class Mage_Customer_Block_Address_Renderer_Default magento calls method filter($value), which I mentioned above.

---

Here I provide a solution. Warning! This solution is not very clean. It's purpose to show magento behavior. Please do all rewrites yourself.

public function render(Mage_Customer_Model_Address_Abstract $address, $format=null)
{

    //parsing $data array

    $formater->setVariables($data);

    $format = !is_null($format) ? $format : $this->getFormat($address);

    return $formater->filter($format);
}

In this method we will add an order object to $data array. According to my task lets add order object to this array. Do it before '$formater->setVariables($data);'

$data['order_object'] = $address->getOrder();

After this magento will parse this object and call any it's method. For example we add new method getPaymentOutput(). Put simple functionality into Order class:

public function isPrinted()
{
    if ($this->getPayment()->getMethod() == 'checkmo') {
        return true;
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

and only after that we make changes in xml directive with this:

{{if order_object.isPrinted()}}{{var smth}}<br />{{/if}}
