OS-ServiceBooking attache a xml with booking data

How can I attach an XML file with the booking data to OS-ServiceBooking emails?

Hi,
We haven't tried it before, you can test it to confirm
Thanks

I noticed that there are no hooks or triggerEvents in your code where I can attach my script to generate XML code.
I would have to modify the core script. If I do that, are you willing to include my code suggestion in your install package?

Hi,
I am not sure with your modification code, so i can't promise now. But you can make the customization.
Thanks

I will send you the code proposal and you will check and decide. The code will follow Joomla conventions, as other extensions do.

OK, i will wait for your news
Thanks

Hello Dam, it's been a while since we talked about this task. We needed some time to program the XML attachment until all the customer's wishes were taken into account. I wanted to avoid asking you to make changes to the core script multiple times and just deliver the final version once. Now the time has come.
I ask you to insert these two lines in the script components\com_osservicesbooking\helpers\common.php. This will trigger the XML generation for the employee notification and the admin notification. It works according to modern Joomla standards.

After line 534:

}
/*
* DEV mDSK
* Create xml file send to email
*/

Factory::getApplication()->triggerEvent('onOSSCommonSendEmail', array(&$sbj, &$body, $orderId, $configClass, &$mailer, &$attachment, $email_type));

/*
* END
*/
if ($mailfrom != "" && $order_email != "") {
if ($email_type == "confirm" || $email_type == "attended_thankyou_email") {


After new line no. 1090:

}
/*
* DEV MDSK
* Create xml file send to email
*/
Factory::getApplication()->triggerEvent('onOSSCommonSendEmployeeEmail', array(&$sbj1, &$body, $orderId, $configClass, &$mailer, &$attachment, $email_type));
/*
* END
*/
$cc = ;
$bcc = ;
try {
OSBHelper::logMail($email_type, $orderId, $email, $sbj1, $body1);
$mailer->sendMail($mailfrom, $fromname, $email, $sbj1, $body1, 1, $cc, $bcc, $attachment);

Please give me feedback on this.

I would also like to ask you to check whether I can sell the XML attachment plugin via your platform or whether you want to link to me. I am sure there are other customers for whom the plugin is useful. My customer uses it to be able to import the booking data into his CRM. It is better than an ICS attachment.

 
 

 

Hi Dam,
I didn't get any feedback on my request to include code. Please let me know if you will include this code in the core.

Hi,
I see your custom code, i am not able to add the customization into core of OS Services Booking, because it will make the code structure messy.
In this case, you can add the custom change into common.php, but you will need to do the change whenever you upgrade OS Services Booking extension.
Thanks
Dam
