Magento – If Condition with “==” in Email Template {{depend}}

email-templatesmagento-1.9template-directive

I am using simple if condition in email template.

{{depend order.delivery_time=="1"}}
Delivery Time: 10am To 2pm
{{/depend}}
{{depend order.delivery_time=="2"}}
Delivery Time: 2pm To 7pm
{{/depend}}
{{depend order.delivery_time=="3"}}
Delivery Time: 7pm To 10pm
{{/depend}}

But every time it is printing 1st value i.e. Delivery Time: 10am To 2pm

Can anyone tell me, how to check == in email template?

You cannot use logical expressions in depend (unfortunately neither in if as one comment suggested)

{{depend X}}...{{/depend}} output content in between only if variable X is true-ish (note that you cannot use logical expressions here, just variables or methods on variables.

^{From this answer, which covers more details of template directives: https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/121510/243}

So the only way I see to achieve what you are trying is to add three variables. For example:

in PHP code (probably best in an load_after observer):

$order->setData('delivery_time_1', $order->getDeliveryTime() == '1');
$order->setData('delivery_time_2', $order->getDeliveryTime() == '2');
$order->setData('delivery_time_3', $order->getDeliveryTime() == '3');

then in the email template:

{{depend order.delivery_time_1}}

Delivery Time: 10am To 2pm

{{/depend}}
{{depend order.delivery_time_2}}

Delivery Time: 2pm To 7pm

{{/depend}}
{{depend order.delivery_time_3}}

Delivery Time: 7pm To 10pm

{{/depend}}

Magento {{depend}} with {{config path=’some/value/here’}} – Usage Guide

You cannot use {{depend}} and {{config}} in that combination for 2 reasons.
The first and most important is that the regex match is screwed up like this. If you have a text like this {{depend name}} some text {{/depend}} the matches array looks like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => {{depend name}} some text {{/depend}}
            [1] => name
            [2] =>  some text 
        )

)

This means that if the value for the variable name evaluates to something else than null false 0 the value in [0] (the expression) will be replaced with the value from [2] (some text).
If you try it with {{depend {{config path="some/path/here"}}}} some text {{/depend}} the matches look like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => {{depend {{config path='some/path/here'}}}} some text {{/depend}}
            [1] => {{config path='some/path/here'
            [2] => }} some text 
        )

)

The second reason is that the depend conditions must be a variable passed to the template (element inside the _templateVars member).
The work around for this is to pass the value from the config as a variable to the template and then use that variable in the depend statement.
Let's take for example the new order e-mail sending. In Mage_Sales_Model_Order::sendNewOrderEmail()

$mailer->setTemplateParams(array(
    'order'        => $this,
    'billing'      => $this->getBillingAddress(),
    'payment_html' => $paymentBlockHtml
    )
);

Turn it into this:

$mailer->setTemplateParams(array(
    'order'        => $this,
    'billing'      => $this->getBillingAddress(),
    'payment_html' => $paymentBlockHtml,
    'my_config_var'=> Mage::getStoreConfig('some/path/here')
    )
);

Now you should be able to use:

{{depend my_custom_var}} some text {{/depend}}

Magento – Magento 1.9 – style email template

First you need to understand how inline-css and non-inline-css work in magento.

For adding any inline-css using a separate file you define it using

{{inlinecss file="email-inline.css"}}

It will inject css defined in your file within style attribute of each tag with provided class.

So if you need to style button in your email, you need to define a class in email-inline.css like following:

.btn {

}

then you need to apply this class to an element in your template like following:

<input type="button" class="btn" />

Magento will automatically inject the css in style attribute before sending an email.
