Custom tags in emails

If I wished to create custom "shortcode" tags, which are used in the tinymce windows when writing notification email messages, where and how would I go about generating them?

Hi

Next to each email messages, there should be list of tags which you can use in that email message

Exactly what message you want to modify? And what information you want? I will look at it and tell you the tag which you can use

Thank you for the quick response.

I have noticed the tags next to the messages, but they don't suffice for the information i need to use.

I have custom data from other db tables I wish to include, which relate to the events through their ID's. For the moment I'm only looking for modifications for the submit event messages.

In this case, you will have to customize the code to support the new tags you want. The file is components/com_eventbooking/helper/mail.php and the method is sendNewEventNotificationEmail

Appreciate it

Is there any other place I would need to add references to these new tag (other than in the email messages themselves ofc)? They show up as empty in the emails sent.

Edit: nevermind, I figured it out.

Hi,

My plan is to make a custom tag with this function:

$event->event_capacity - $event->total_registrants

(capacity left for an event)

I want to send this information to the Admin in email when arrive a new registrants. So which file need to modify to this thing?

com_eventbooking/helper/mail.php?

Thank you so much!

Hi

Yes. Or better, modify the code in the file components/com_eventbooking/helper/registration.php, method buildTags so that the added tag can be used by other email messages in the future if needed

Also, try to implement the modification using override so that it won't be lost when you update to future releases of the extension
