Salutation

Hello,
in Germany we have a gender depending salutation. We can't use something like "Dear xy". For women it means "Sehr geehrte Frau xy" and for men "Sehr geehrter Herr xy". I have included a custom field for the salutation with "Herr" and "Frau". But I also need the possibility to change the "geehrte" and "geehrter" depending on the gender. Can you please help me with this?

Best regards
S. Hoffmann

Honestly, I don't know what is the best way to handle this requirement. I think you can try to look at the method buildTags in components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php

You can add a new tag something like [EB_SALUTATION] and set value for that tag based on the custom field you mentioned above

Then edit the email message and use that new tag [EB_SALUTATION]

That solution might work, so please give it a try

Thank you for your reply. It worked great! But is it possible to do it in an overwrite?
This solution will only work until the next Update, or am I wrong?

Best regards

Sorry, override will only works for a layout files, it won't work php class code like this. So in this case, sadly, you will have to maintain the change yourself when you update to future releases of the extension

Tuan

Ok, that's what I have suspected. Could you maybe integrate it in a future version? I think there are more countries with gender depending salutations.

To be honest, this is something so special and I haven't heard any other customers asking for it yet, so I won't implement it into the core download package for now.

Please maintain this change yourself (it is small modification I guess), in the future, I might make it possible to implement it via a plugin so that you don't have to worry about it with the update.

But it will take time. For now, I am focus working on some other more important features
