[SOLVED] Conditional admin notification recipients

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.5
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.4
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : None.

Is it currently possible to have a conditional "to address" for the Order creation admin notifications emails? I thought this may be possible if the email addresses were values in a custom field, and then I could place the custom field 'tag' or 'placeholder' in the Configuration for "Order creation admin notifications email address"?

This is the scenario:
Products are purchased online and picked up in a local store of the customer's choice. There are 5 local stores and each has an assigned email address. The local store that is selected by the customer during checkout needs to receive an email notification of the order.

Hi,

You can try with that code at the end of the preload of your emails that you can edit via the menu System>Emails :

// Do some checks on the shipping address which should be the store address
if($data->cart->shipping_address == 'address 1'){
    $this->mailer->addBCC('store1@address.com');
}elseif($data->cart->shipping_address == 'address 2'){
    $this->mailer->addBCC('store2@address.com');
}
// etc.

Thanks, Xavier!

Hi Xavier -

We've tried to implement this, but the bcc emails are not being generated. We have a custom field single selection drop down with the name 'store'. The values of the drop down options are 1 through 5 and the titles are the name of the stores (eg. Highland Park).

Then we've added this code to the very bottom of the "Preload Version" in the Order Status Notification email:

if($data->cart->store == '1'){
    $this->mailer->addBCC('email@email.com,email2@email.com');
}elseif($data->cart->store == '2'){
    $this->mailer->addBCC('email3@email.com,email4@email.com');
}

Here you go ..

Hi,

That should be working, what if you add that code at the end of hte preload part:

var_dump($data->cart->store);

Xavier -

This was the output - string(1) "1"

Initially, I received an error on the backend status change popup saying the email was invalid. It apparently would not accept the comma separated emails. Is there a way around that? I need to specify two email addresses, as in my example in the previous post.

I removed the second email, and then received the 'string(1) "1"' output on the backend order status change email, however, on the frontend when I try to submit an order I'm redirected to an error page that says "0 invalid address customer_name".

Ok, Hikashop is upgraded so the "0 invalid address" issue is resolved. Thanks!

However, we are still not getting the bcc email. I've even added a 'catch all' else at the end in the event the value isn't matching any of the elseif's and we're still not getting the email.

Will the code being in the Preload version execute on the frontend when an order is confirmed automatically by the payment method? We have tested using the frotend as well as changing the order status from the backend. Neither result in a bcc email.

I found this - www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/872622-a...on-email.html#179068

So I tried this:

if($data->cart->store == '1') {
    $mail->bcc_email = array('email@email.com','email2@email.com');
} elseif($data->cart->store == '2') {
    $mail->bcc_email = array('email3@email.com','email4@email.com');

We use a Linux server, however, our email is routed through Mandrill so using $this->$mailer->Bcc wouldn't work.

Doesn't $this->mailer->Bcc utilize PHPMailer? We have PHPMailer disabled on our server, and route all Joomla site traffic through SMTP (Mandrill).
