Email communication events

[benni23]

Hi,

I have set up Ofbiz with SMTP relay and mail notification enabled. I receive email notifications for order placed in ecommerce and when the order is invoiced/shipped. I also receive an email if I request a new password for my ecommerce login.

Unfortunately, I do not receive an email when I subscribe to a newsletter or when I create an email communication event in the partymgr application. Did I miss to configure something here? Are there any pitfalls?

Furthermore, I would like to know how I can get Ofbiz to attach the generated invoice (PDF) to the mail that informs the customer that his order has been invoiced and shipped.

regards,
Benjamin

Dear Benjamin,

You may need to start looking by file DemoProduct.xml.

    <ProductStoreEmailSetting productStoreId="9000"
emailType="PRDS_ODR_CONFIRM"
bodyScreenLocation="component://ecommerce/widget/EmailOrderScreens.xml#OrderConfirmNotice"
xslfoAttachScreenLocation="component://ecommerce/widget/EmailOrderScreens.xml#OrderConfirmNoticePdf"
subject="OFBiz Demo - Order Confirmation #${orderId}" bccAddress="
[hidden email]" fromAddress="[hidden email]"/>

See the "xslfoAttachScreenLocation" field of the ProductStoreEmailSetting
table. This field contains the location of Screen definition and that screen
definition contains the *.fo.ftl file in general. And *.fo.ftl is nothing
but the PDF that goes with the email.

You can search code by email type "PRDS_ODR_CONFIRM". You will see the
relevant code and would be able to find your way.

The other important services that play important role are
"sendMailFromScreen" & "sendEmail".
Please trace the code for this services and let us know if you are unable to
understand the flow.

Please try to find out the reason by tracing the code (if you are a
developer). I haven't tested it but you can figure out the issue with the
help of details I provided above. After doing enough R&D if you don't get
the way to solution then write email, me or someone else will help you to
figure out the problem. FYI if you have done right settings for SMTP and you
are getting emails for Order_Confirmation then you are fine.

Also David was doing something about moving the mail services to the
framework and changing the way emails were generated.
The discussion was on the dev mailing list.

Sorry for the digression, getting back to the point.... This is somewhat
related to the framework independence effort. One thing that has bugged
me for a while is that the email services are in the content component
which is in applications. I'm moving those services to the
framework/common component, and adding a new service called
"EmailTemplateSetting" and a service to go with it to send emails based
on these template settings so that creating email templates
(screen-based) and sending email from them will be easier going forward.

I'll try to get this in soon, and maybe it will be an easier and cleaner
way to send the MyPortal emails without depending on the ProductStore
(which will help a lot when we start moving MyPortal into the framework).

Hi Bj

have a look at applications/order/servicedef/secas.xml where you can see
an example sending a "EmailTemplateSetting" notification using a seca.

Hans
