email administration when inviting a friend

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a chance I can be emailed when someone chooses to invite a friend.

I know the email gets sent to the address indicated by the person filing the form but, I wonder if there might be a way to
either
set the email address to where the invitation is always sent (the administrator's email). The person in this case would be able to indicate in a different place of the form the email of the friend (I would change the wording with the translator feature) and I the administrator would send manually the invitation

or just be notified when an invitation is sent by the machine....

Thanks, that would be of great help for the purpose of my work.

Unfortunately, that is not possible in the extension. Maybe you can modify the code in the extension alitle so that you will receive the same email as if you were invited. The steps are :

1. Open the file components/com_eventbooking/models/invite.php

2. Find the code below :

3. Change it to :

Please make sure you replace email@domain.com with your actual email. After that , you will receive notification when someone invites a friend .

Hi Tuan,

This option would be perfect. However, I have changed the code as you mentioned and the email is still sent to the friend's address. I am attaching the invite.php file that I have modified, please let me know if I missed something, although I am pretty sure followed your indications.

Thanks.

Just in case the attached file does not upload correctly, these is the portion of the file with the code with the changes on it:

$body = $config->invitation_email_body ;
$subject = str_replace('[EVENT_TITLE]', $event->title, $subject) ;
foreach ($replaces as $key=>$value) {
$key = strtoupper($key) ;
$body = str_replace("[$key]", $value, $body) ;
}
$emails = explode("\r\n", $data);$emails[] = 'info@bitacoraeventos.com';
$names = explode("\r\n", $data);
for ($i = 0 , $n = count($emails) ; $i < $n ; $i++) {
$emailBody = $body ;
$email = $emails[$i] ;
$name = $names[$i] ;
if ($name && $email) {
$emailBody = str_replace('[NAME]', $name, $emailBody) ;
//Send emails here
JUtility::sendMail($fromEmail, $fromName, $email, $subject, $emailBody, 1);

Please zip the file before attaching .

Here's the file invite.php

Thanks.

ups... I'm not sure that the file is uploading even ziped but hopefully the code pasted previously would be enough.

thank you.

Hi Tuan,

While waiting for you to get back, I have a second question that would be really helpful and I wonder if it can be done somehow: I noticed that for events that don´t allow registration the invite a friend option doesn't come out. Is there a way it can be configured for it to appear on them as well?

Also, you don't get the option to invite untill you go into the details of the events, at the end of the page, would it be possible for the button to appear in the category layout page after the brief description of the event next to the "details" button?

This way, we increase the chances of people sharing/inviting friends to the events.

Thanks a lot.

Any updates on this?

=> You still forgot to attach the file, so I could not check it . Maybe you can email me directly to contact@joomdonation.com so that I can check the code you modified .

=> Please get this file, unzip it, get the file and upload it to components/com_eventbooking/views/event/tmpl folder. After that, it should work as expected .

Also, you don't get the option to invite untill you go into the details of the events, at the end of the page, would it be possible for the button to appear in the category layout page after the brief description of the event next to the "details" button?

=> Unfortunately, the feature is not supported in the extension. So if you want to have it, you will have to customize the code yourself .
