Static pdf attachments to confirmation mail.

**karinvd** · 8 Jul 2014, 12:59 PM

New regulations states in my country i should mail 2 files to my costumers, 1 with conditions and 1 form how to return the product. Anyway i'd like to send those two pdf's along with te confirmation mail, not an extra mail. I looked in the faq area, but dit not find this problem.
I did see in functions_email.php a section about $attachments_list but i'm nog shure thats it. And i cant find where to enable it. I did find some threads about attachments and emails, but they where ancient and asked for much more difficult files to be sent.
These 2 pdf's i want to send are also on the server, people can download them form the site. Can someone point me to the right direction?
thanks in advance :-)

Try this:

1. copy your 2 pdf files into the /download folder
2. add 2 new files to your server, as shown below:

a) /includes/classes/observers/class.zcObserverAttachTermsConditionsToOrderConfirmation.php

Code:

class zcObserverAttachTermsConditionsToOrderConfirmation extends base {


  function __construct() {
    $this->attach($this, array('NOTIFY_ORDER_INVOICE_CONTENT_READY_TO_SEND'));
  }


  function update(&$callingClass, $eventID)
  {
    $callingClass->attachArray = array(
      array('file' => DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/returns.pdf', // you can put the actual server filename here 
            'name' => 'ReturnInstructions.pdf',    // this is the name you want the attachment file have in the email (can be the same as above if desired)
            'mime-type' => 'application/pdf',
           ),
      array('file' => DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/tos.pdf',  // put actual server filename here
            'name' => 'TermsOfService.pdf',    // put friendly name here
            'mime-type' => 'application/pdf',
           ),
    );
  }
}

b) /includes/auto_loaders/config.zcObserverAttachTermsConditionsToOrderConfirmation.php
