v4.0.x email in different language

[hel68c +]

Hi,

My site is in French and English. At the renewal time, I would like that the system, send emails to members "according to their language preference in user info" .

In the file cron.php, the system send an email for each ads to be renew.

I used the extra3 field in the User View Setting for the language.

I have a template named "hobby_en" for english user and a template named "hobby_fr" for french user.

I made an english email html template in the hobby_en/emails/html/renewal.tpl and in french hobby_fr/emails/html/renewal.tpl

Now here is my problem. I know the Var $content content the template renewal.tpl but I don't know how to put the path of the template to let the system know in which language to send them.

PHP Code:

        if($checkoutSettings['renewal']=='Y')
        {
            $renewalDays=$checkoutSettings['renewalDays'];
            $expiration = mktime(0,0,0,date("m"),date("d")+$renewalDays,date("Y"));
            $expiration = strftime("%Y-%m-%d",$expiration);
            $sSQL = "SELECT p.id,p.owner,p.orderID,p.title,p.dateadded, u.email,u.firstname,u.lastname,u.extra3 FROM ".PREFIX."listings AS p INNER JOIN ".PREFIX."users AS u ON p.owner=u.id WHERE p.expiration <= '".$expiration."' AND notified='N' AND display='Y'"; 
            $result=$db->query($sSQL);
            $numrows = $result->size();
            while($rs=$result->fetch())
            {
                $id=$rs['id'];
                $owner=$rs['owner'];
                $title=safeStripSlashes($rs['title']);
                $datelisted=$rs['dateadded'];
                $to=$rs["email"];
                $vars['title']=$title;
                $vars['oID']=$rs['orderID'];
                $vars['firstname']=$rs['firstname'];
                $vars['lastname']=$rs['lastname'];
                if($rs['extra3']=='fr')
                {                                
                   Path in french;
                }
                else
                {
                   Path in english;
                }
                $msg=$Mailer->sendMail($to, $content, $vars);
                if($msg==TRUE)
                {
                    $sSQL="UPDATE ".PREFIX."listings SET notified='Y' WHERE id=".$id." AND owner='".$owner."'";
                    $db->query($sSQL);
                }
                else
                {
                    $cronlog .= $msg."<br />";
                }
            }
            $cronlog = "Renewals Sent: ".$numrows."<br />";
        } 


Do you have any idea?

I believe it would be this:
FILESYSTEM_PATH .'templates/hobby_fr/emails/html/renewal.tpl'

[hel68c +]

I tried this:

if ($rs['extra3']=='fr')
{
$content=FILESYSTEM_PATH .'templates/hobby_fr/emails/html/renewal.tpl';
}
else
{
$content=FILESYSTEM_PATH .'templates/hobby_en/emails/html/renewal.tpl';
}

I received an email with this error:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "emails/html/C:\wamp\www\hobbyclassified\templates/hobby_fr/emails/html/renewal.tpl" in C:\wamp\www\hobbyclassified\includes\classes\smart y\Smarty.class.php on line 1095

The emails/html/ before the Path come from the function sendMail:

PHP Code:

    function sendMail($to, $content, $vars, $lang)
    {
        global $Core, $class_tpl;

    
        $this->AddAddress($to);
        $this->AddBCC("[email protected]");    // Hobby Classified envoi une copie de tous les emails du client � admin
         
        if(!empty($vars['fromemail'])){
            $this->From=$vars['fromemail'];
        }if(!empty($vars['name'])) {
            $this->FromName=$vars['name'];
        }
        /* Hobby Classified ajout pour envoie copie de email nouveau membre 
         if(!empty($vars['bcc'])) {
            $this->AddBCC=$vars['bcc'];
        }
         // Hobby Classified fin */
        foreach($vars as $key => $value)
        {
            //loop through the results and assign to the template
            $class_tpl->assign($key, safeStripSlashes($value));
        }
        if($Core->settings['mailHTML']=="Y")
        {
            $this->AltBody = $class_tpl->fetch('emails/text/'.$content);
            $this->Body = $class_tpl->fetch('emails/html/'.$content);
            $this->IsHTML(TRUE);
        }
        else
        {
            $this->Body = $class_tpl->fetch('emails/text/'.$content);
            $this->IsHTML(FALSE);
        }
        $this->Subject = $class_tpl->get_template_vars('subject');
        
        if($this->Send())
        {
            $this->ClearAllRecipients();
            return TRUE;
        }
        else
        {
            return "Message was not sent <br />Mailer Error: " . $this->ErrorInfo;
        }
    }

Perhaps, it would be easier to simply place your french renewal email template in the administration assigned email template folder and call it something like renewal_fr.tpl.

Then $content='renewal_fr.tpl';

That way in the code further down, you don't have to worry about the path, because the file is where it is already looking for the $content assigned name.
