How to extend the XenForo_Mail class

[Sadik B]

I noticed the load_class_mail event listener. Assuming that it works similar to how controllers are extended, I created a code event listener MyAddon_Listener::load_class_mail

public static function load_class_mail($class, array &$extend)
    {
        if ($class == 'XenForo_Mail')
        {
            $extend[] = 'MyAddon_Mail';
        }
    }

However the class MyAddon_Mail is not extending the send() method. Am I doing this wrong? How can one go about extending the XenForo_Mail::send() method?

Thanks...

I haven't actually done this but if it does in fact work the same way as the controllers, you'd make a new file with

Class myaddon_mail extends XFCP_myaddon_mail
{
 Public function send()
 {
   $parent = parent::send(); // so you can get any data returned by the parent.
 }
}

Thanks for replying. Yeah, this is what I did and this does not work...

From what I can tell, load_class_mail should work, especially if XenForo_Mail is instantiated using the XenForo_Mail::create method.

If you're certain it's not working, you might want to try the load_class event instead.

One or other should work fine.

Nopes... Still not working...

public static function load_class($class, array &$extend)
    {
        if ($class == 'XenForo_Mail')
        {
            $extend[] = 'MyAddon_Mail';
        }
    }

And in library/MyAddon/Mail.php

class MyAddon_Mail extends XFCP_MyAddon_Mail
{
    public function send($toEmail, $toName = '', array $headers = array(), $fromEmail = '', $fromName = '', $returnPath = '')
    {
        $userModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_User');
        $user = $userModel->getUserByEmail($toEmail);

        if (!empty($user))
        {
            $tempArr = explode(',', $user['secondary_group_ids']);

            if (!in_array('17', $tempArr))
            {
                return false;
            }
            else
                return parent::send($toEmail, $toName, $headers, $fromEmail, $fromName, $returnPath);
        }
    }
}

The send() method is not being overridden. I tried a simple vardump, no luck either. Does anyone has a working example of extending the XenForo_Mail class?

Any ideas why the above code is not overriding XenForo_Mail @Chris Deeming ?

And @Rigel Kentaurus

I saw you posted this,

I ended up overriding the sendMail() method to call my own setupTransport() method. It is working for me now, and I have a "pool" of email users to send from

It would be an immense help if you could show how you did this and which event listener you used?

Thanks guys....

I, too, find myself in the position of needing to extend the Mail class/functions. Can anyone help with this? Has anyone in this thread figured it out by now?
