public function onBeforeSendMailSubject{$group}{$type}( string &$subject, object $data ) : bool

Fires while fetching the subject to use for notification e-mails.


Description

Plugins can use this filter to manipulate at runtime the subject to use for e-mail notifications.

The dynamic portion of the hook name, $group, refers to the section of the plugin sending the e-mail.
Here's a list of supported groups:

  • restaurant
  • takeaway

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 (restaurant & take-away)
  • admin (restaurant & take-away)
  • cancellation (restaurant & take-away)
  • review (take-away only)
  • stock (take-away only)

This means that, for example, the notification e-mail sent to the customers, for a restaurant reservation, will trigger a filter called onBeforeSendMailSubjectRestaurantCustomer.


Parameters

&$subject

(string)  The current subject 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 restaurant reservation, the argument will be a VREOrderRestaurant 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 uses a different e-mail subject depending on the status of the order. The new subject is applied only to the notification e-mail sent to the customers for take-away orders.

/**
 * Triggers a filter to let the plugins be able to handle the subject of the e-mail.
 *
 * @param   string  &$subject  The current e-mail subject.
 * @param   object  $order     The take-away order details.
 *
 * @return  bool    False to prevent the e-mail sending.

public function onBeforeSendMailSubjectRestaurantCustomer(&$subject, $order)
{
    if ($order->statusRole == 'APPROVED') {
        $subject = 'Your order has been confirmed';
    } elseif ($order->statusRole == 'PENDING') {
        if ($order->payment) {
            $subject = 'Your order requires a payment';
        } else {
            $subject = 'Your order is waiting for a manual approval';
        }
    }
    
    return true;
