public function onBeforeSendMailContent{$type}(string &$content, mixed $data) : bool

Fires while fetching the body to include within the notification e-mails.


Description

Plugins can use this filter to manipulate at runtime the body of the e-mail notifications.

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $type, refers to the type of event that triggered the e-mail sending.
Here's a list of supported types:

  • customer
  • admin
  • cancellation
  • employee
  • waitlist
  • package
  • packadmin
  • usernote

This means that, for example, the notification e-mail sent to the administrator, for an appointment, will trigger a filter called onBeforeSendMailContentAdmin.


Parameters

&$content

(string)  The current content of the e-mail. Since the argument is passed as reference, it is possible to manipulate it.

$data

(mixed)  The entity to notify. In case of a take-away order, the argument will be a VAPOrderAppointment object.

The hook might specify additional arguments, which can vary according to the current type.

Return Value

Boolean. Use false to prevent the e-mail sending.


Example

The example below appends a footer at the end of the e-mail. The footer is added only to the notification e-mail sent to the customers for appointments.

/**
 * Triggers a filter to let the plugins be able to handle the content of the e-mail.
 *
 * The hook name is built as:
 * onBeforeSendMailContent[TYPE]
 *
 * @param   string   &$content  The current e-mail content.
 * @param   object   $order     The appointment details.
 *
 * @return  boolean  False to prevent the e-mail sending.
