Magento 1.9 – How to Use Custom Variables in PHTML File for Email

custom-variablemagento-1.9transactional-mail

I have created a Transactional Emails template in magento admin to send multiple coupon codes dynamically for this I have created a template file says email/custom.phtml and it is included in email template.

It is included in email template successfully but I am trying to add {{var code12}}, {{ var code13 }} etc. with multiple time but it is not working.

If I add these in direct email template in magento admin then it is working as I want but I want to create {{var}} also dynamically.

I am using below code for sending email :

$senderName = 'custom';
$senderEmail = Mage::getStoreConfig('trans_email/ident_general/email');

$emailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template')->loadByCode('Custom Template');;
$emailTemplateVariables = array();
$emailTemplateVariables['name'] = 'name';
$emailTemplateVariables['code12'] = 'AB56FFD';
$processedTemplate = $emailTemplate->getProcessedTemplate($emailTemplateVariables);
$mail = Mage::getModel('core/email')
        ->setToName('name')
        ->setToEmail('test@gmail.com')
        ->setBody($processedTemplate)
        ->setSubject('Coupon code')
        ->setFromEmail($senderEmail)
        ->setFromName($senderName)
        ->setType('html');
$mail->send();

My custom.phtml code is here :

##My shopping cart rule are product specific
<table>
<?php 
$allProducts = array(10,20,30);
foreach($allProducts as $product_id)
{
    $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product_id);
    ?>
    <tr><td>
    <?php
    echo $product->getName();
    echo Mage::getModel('core/variable')->loadByCode('code12')->getValue('text');  // it is not working
    ?>
    {{var code12}}  // it is not working
    </td></tr>
    <?php
}
?>
</table>

And Transactional Emails template code is here :

...
{{block type="core/template"  name="email_custom" template="email/custom.phtml" }}
....

How to add custom variables in phtml file?

Best Answer

pass a array

$emailTemplateVariables['code'] = array('code12'=>'AB56FFD','code13'=>'AB5fd6FFD','code14'=>'AB56dfFFD') ;

you have to pass variable to phtml file

{{block type="core/template"  name="email_custom" template="email/custom.phtml" code=$code}}

in phtml file

$code= $this->getCode();
echo $code['code12'];

Magento – Shipping email ignored when API sends tracking number only if custom php present

Maybe you run into the same issue i had. I got emails, not containing the correct updated informations.

i figured out (Magento 1.7.2) that the Email for tracking is generated even before the tracking information was saved. Normally all works fine in default, but sometimes it happened, that the email sending is generated before the tracking is generated or updated.

What i were doing is to add an additional $this->save() in app/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Shipment.php at the function addTrack right before the return statement.

For sure i didn't do this in the core file itself, i've cloned it into app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Shipment.php

My addTrack looks like this now:

public function addTrack(Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Shipment_Track $track)
{
    $track->setShipment($this)
        ->setParentId($this->getId())
        ->setOrderId($this->getOrderId())
        ->setStoreId($this->getStoreId());
    if (!$track->getId()) {
        $this->getTracksCollection()->addItem($track);
    }

    /**
     * Track saving is implemented in _afterSave()
     * This enforces Mage_Core_Model_Abstract::save() not to skip _afterSave()
     */
    $this->_hasDataChanges = true;
    /**
     * Added additional $this->save(); to have the new data for shippment
     * tracking already in the Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Shipment object.
     * If this would not happen, the tracking mails generated may have old
     * or wrong data regarding carrier title.
     */
    $this->save();

    return $this;
}

EDIT 3nd May 2016: Hi Scot,

in app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Shipment/Api/V2.php and app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order/Shipment/Api.php i've REMOVED $shipment->sendEmail($email, ($includeComment ? $comment : '')); in the create() function at the try/catch block right after the ->save();

public function create($orderIncrementId, $itemsQty = array(), $comment = null, $email = false,
    $includeComment = false
) {
    $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId($orderIncrementId);

    /**
      * Check order existing
      */
    if (!$order->getId()) {
         $this->_fault('order_not_exists');
    }

    /**
     * Check shipment create availability
     */
    if (!$order->canShip()) {
         $this->_fault('data_invalid', Mage::helper('sales')->__('Cannot do shipment for order.'));
    }

     /* @var $shipment Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Shipment */
    $shipment = $order->prepareShipment($itemsQty);
    if ($shipment) {
        $shipment->register();
        $shipment->addComment($comment, $email && $includeComment);
        if ($email) {
            $shipment->setEmailSent(true);
        }
        $shipment->getOrder()->setIsInProcess(true);
        try {
            $transactionSave = Mage::getModel('core/resource_transaction')
                ->addObject($shipment)
                ->addObject($shipment->getOrder())
                ->save();
        } catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
            $this->_fault('data_invalid', $e->getMessage());
        }
        return $shipment->getIncrementId();
    }
    return null;
}

But i've added the email send in addTrack()

public function addTrack($shipmentIncrementId, $carrier, $title, $trackNumber)
{
    $shipment = Mage::getModel('sales/order_shipment')->loadByIncrementId($shipmentIncrementId);

    /* @var $shipment Mage_Sales_Model_Order_Shipment */

    if (!$shipment->getId()) {
        $this->_fault('not_exists');
    }

    $carriers = $this->_getCarriers($shipment);

    if (!isset($carriers[$carrier])) {
        $this->_fault('data_invalid', Mage::helper('sales')->__('Invalid carrier specified.'));
    }

    $track = Mage::getModel('sales/order_shipment_track')
                ->setNumber($trackNumber)
                ->setCarrierCode($carrier)
                ->setTitle($title);

    $shipment->addTrack($track);

    try {
        $shipment->save();
        $track->save();
        if(!$shipment->getEmailSent()) {
            $shipment->sendEmail(true, $shipment->getCommentsCollection());
            $shipment->setEmailSent(true);
            $shipment->save();
        }
    } catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
        $this->_fault('data_invalid', $e->getMessage());
    }

    return $track->getId();
}

Hope i didn't mix up something again.

Magento – How to use custom variables in Magento 2

From what I have used custom variable, it is only for passing admin manageable value to your code, you can access it as follows;

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$model = $objectManager->get('Magento\Variable\Model\Variable')->loadByCode('custom-variable-code');
$plain_value = $model->getPlainValue();

EDIT:

As asked by @Jonas de Herdt if you want to get store specific value for the variable you just need to pass the store code along with the custom variable code as follows;

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$model = $objectManager->get('Magento\Variable\Model\Variable')->loadByCode('custom-variable-code', 'store-code');
$plain_value = $model->getPlainValue();

Reminder that you should not use objectmanager directly in your code
