Customize Message for alternative Offline Payment

Hi Tuan,

I've created a second offline payment plugin. First one (default) is for cheque payment, the other one for Interac payment.

In the admin I can customize the confirmation message for Offline payment. Let's say I chose cheque payment for the default offline payment.

How do I customize my message for my second offline payment plugin (Interac). Do I need to tweak a bit the DB to make this appear in the "message" list section?

Thanks for your help.

Hi

Yes. You will need to edit code to include the messages for second offline payments method .

1. Customize configuration view in Events Booking component to allow settings the messages for second offline payment.

2. Edit the sendEmails function in the file components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php to send the correct messages if the user use the second offline payment option .

Regards,

Tuan

Hi Tuan,

Thanks, your direction helped me a lot. I had to edit the database a bit and some other variables but you pointed me the right way.

Thanks again

That's great ! Thanks for the update !

Hi Elnino38/Tuan;
Does this changes need too much coding knowledge?
Could you please help us, a little bit for more what we have to do to make this works? :blush:

Thanks in advance.
BEST REGARDS.

Hi Sergio,

Do you just want to add an os_offline payment plugin? It requires a bit of PHP and MySQL knowledge. Basic ones but still if you don't understand what you're doing you take the risk of breaking up the website.

I've written a raw Word file to help me update all the php files so that the component become compatible with the second payment plugin each time I need to upgrade. I can send it to you if you wish but assumes no responsabilty in its use!

Hi Elnino38,
First I have to thank you for your prompt answer, I will really appreciate if you can send me this word to ianduran [at] hotmail.com
I have already add second offline payment, but as you said specific emails need to be sent with this new one, not standard offline payment mail.
Thanks in advance...

Sorry Sergio, I think I completely forgot to send the doc.
Please find the attached Word doc, I am not responsible for the misuse of this document!

My plugin is called os_interac so you have to replace this string into whatever you called your plugin.

Any chance this could be made as a feature added to future updates of EB? Right now (as of 10 minutes ago) I have the offline payment messages instructing people on how to use interac e-transfer, but it would be slick if it had it's own payment option. I don't think I have the skills to implement this myself as described above.
Cheers,
Bryan

Hi Bryan

I am not sure I can add it to future release of the extension. So maybe you will have to find a developer to help you to do this modification.
