action hook help

[igeek]

I am looking to create an action hook to send an email template, can someone please advise on how do to this please.

hi,

you can not CREATE action hooks.

you can use the defined action hooks.

at which point in time you want to send an email template?

do you just want to send an email, or send an email with a whmcs email template?

i want to set up an hook to send an whmcs email when someone orders a .au 2ld domain.

I also wanted to set up the free trials mod to send an email template as well for the reminder

[HerrZ]

for example in <whmcs_root>/includes/hooks/lalalalal.php

 

<?php
add_hook("AfterShoppingCartCheckout",1,"init_AfterShoppingCartCheckout","");
function init_AfterShoppingCartCheckout()
{
$vars = func_get_args();
$orderid = $vars[0]['OrderID'];
$ordernumber = $vars[0]['OrderNumber'];

$invoiceid = $vars[0]['InvoiceID'];
$products = $vars[0]['Products'];
$addons = $vars[0]['Addons'];
$domains = $vars[0]['Domains'];

// put your email send code here
// i actually do not know how to send an emailtemplate
}
?>

[HerrZ]

you can send emailtemplates with whmcs API

http://wiki.whmcs.com/API:Send_Email

Thanks so much for your help, i work with both your responses

[HerrZ]

When using "Send Email" API function, make sure if it's a general email type you pass a client ID, product email type you pass a product ID, etc... and then it will be fine.
