Email Customizer [Deleted]

ACP/users/Email users

That function doesn't use XenForo email templates. You need this add-on: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/email-users-html-emails.5147/

 

[Sonnie]

Is there a version of this for xF2?

We mainly need the Replacement variable to convert smilies in email notifications.

 

[Arty]

No, its not available for XF2.

To replace smilies you can try using templater_template_post_render event. XenForo 2 uses same template engine for emails as for pages, so it might work.

 

[Sonnie]

Any instructions on how to use that?

Do you expect to create this for xF2?

 

[Arty]

Create custom add-on, create php file within that add-on. For example, lets call add-on SonnieMail, php file Listener.php, so file location is src/addons/SonnieMail/Listener.php. Inside that file put function to listen to templater_template_post_render event:

<?php

namespace SonnieMail;

class Listener
{
   public static function templatePostRender(\XF\Template\Templater $templater, $type, $template, &$output)
   {
      if ($type !== 'email') {
         return;
      }
      $output = strtr($output, [
         ':smilie1:' => 'replacement',
         ':smilie2:' => 'another replacement',
      ]);
   }
}

Change replacements in that array. Key is string to replace, value is replacement.

To create add-on enable developer mode by adding this to src/config.php

$config['development']['enabled'] = true;

To create add-on use console. Type

php cmd.php xf-addon:create

For add-on id enter SonnieMail, for other fields enter whatever you want and you don't need setup file.

To add event listener go to admin panel -> development -> code event listeners, add listener for event templater_template_post_render. In execute callback put SonnieMail\Listener in first field, templatePostRender in second field. Then assign it to your add-on and click save.

I haven't tested this. There could be errors and whole thing might not even work if XF doesn't call templater_template_post_render event for emails.

edit: instructions are quite messy. Order of things to do: enable development mode, create add-on, create php file, add event listener.

put SonnieMail in first field, Listener in second field

better: SonnieMail\Listener (class name) in the first and templatePostRender (function name) in the second That's how it may work.

 

[Sonnie]

Thanks for the info... much appreciated. We'll give it a spin and see what happens.

 

[Sonnie]

Is there a variable replacement for [float_left], [float_right] ... can we get those to parse with this method?

 

[Sonnie]

Okay... so I suppose I really don't know what I'm doing here... as I am not familiar with how to get the console working. I know how to open a command window, but executing the php code is beyond me. Are there specific instructions for this that I can read?

 

[nocte]

See dev docs:

Let's build an add-on | Developer Documentation | XenForo

Developer documentation for XenForo

xenforo.com

First you have to type cd /path/to/your/xf2/installation.

Then: php cmd.php xf-addon:create.

 

[Sonnie]

And I suppose I would use the Terminal in our cPanel to do this... as I have used it and gotten it to open asking me for an ID:



Am I on the right track?

 

[Ozzy47]

Yes, you are in the right track, follow the above XF guide on creating the addon.

 

[Sonnie]

Ran into a snag with the event code listener...

 

[Ozzy47]

At this point you are probably better off posting in the development section for help.

XF 2.1 - Parsing Smilies in Emails

Trying my first add-on in an attempt to parse smilies in HTML emails. I have created a Listener.php file and uploaded it to the SonnieMail folder... there are a few smilies in there for testing, as we mainly want these for media reviews. namespace SonnieMail; class Listener { public...
