Magento 2 Send Email Programmatically

This tutorial is about Magento 2 Send email programmatically,functionality of Magento 2.We will discuss how we can send email programmatically in Magento 2.People often ask whether Magento 2 have any built-in integration with third-party transaction email delivery systems like Amazon SES, Mandrill, etc., or is the built-in email functionality still based around PHP’s mail function? Or the emails sent with some third party software? Also, people ask are there any third party extensions like SMTP Pro for Magento 2 that would let a developer replace the standard email system?

Here we will discuss how it actually is done. After thorough research and digging of Magento 2 codebase for strings such as ’email’, ‘message’, etc until I found something that sends out an email. I stumbled upon sendPaymentFailedEmail() in

vendor/magento/module-checkout/Helper/Data.php

This sets a lot of variables but eventually ties them to a transport object, which is created through a ‘transportBuilder’. This transportBuilder is an instance of

\Magento\Framework\Mail\Template\TransportBuilder

In that file a

$transport

variable exists, which is an instance of

\Magento\Framework\Mail\TransportInterface

Because there is an interface,there is also a regular class called

\Magento\Framework\Mail\Transport

. When we open the file

vendor/magento/framework/Mail/Transport.php

we see that this extends

Zend_Mail_Transport_Sendmail

It actually look like this

class Transport extends \Zend_Mail_Transport_Sendmail implements \Magento\Framework\Mail\TransportInterface

So using DI, you’ll be able to replace this transport with another email framework instead of Zend_Mail, such as Mandrill or Amazon SES.

Just be sure to include the send() method since that is the method called in sendMessage().

public function sendMessage()
{
try {
parent::send($this->_message);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
throw new \Magento\Framework\Exception\MailException(new \Magento\Framework\Phrase($e->getMessage()), $e);
}
}

Furthermore, there are assumptions about PHPs mail() being outdated and not supporting any 3rd party services.But it is not correct, as every good 3rd party service supports an SMTP interface, and so does mail() too.Also, Amazon SES does support SMTP.

Similarly, there is another simple and easy method to send the email. Magento 2 TransportBuilder uses email templates to compose email’s body. You can send plain text simply using – Zend1 mail

$email = new \Zend_Mail();
$email->setSubject("Feedback email");
$email->setBodyText($body);
$email->setFrom($from, $nameFrom);
$email->addTo($to, $nameTo);
$email->send();

That’s it from this tutorial. I hope it serves the purpose. Since these are learning tutorials, please feel free to drop any suggestions or queries in the comments section. That will be highly appreciated surely.

Magento 2 Create Yes No Attribute Programmatically

This tutorial is about Create Yes No Attribute Programmatically in Magento 2. Obviously, there are many ways and techniques of doing a task but if you are looking for a better and dynamic way then this tutorial may satisfy your needs. Creating Yes No attributes programmatically in Magento 2 is explained below. Let’s have a look at how we can do this.

Here I am creating the upgradeData script that will add custom product attribute with yes and no options.

<?php
namespace QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Setup;

use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetup;
use Magento\Eav\Setup\EavSetupFactory;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\UpgradeDataInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;

class upgradeData implements UpgradeDataInterface {
private $eavSetupFactory;
protected $logger;

public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory,\Psr\Log\LoggerInterface $logger) {
$this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
$this->logger = $logger;
}

public function upgrade(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context) {

$eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
$eavSetup->addAttribute(
\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY,
'subscripion_product',[
'type' => 'text',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'Enable Subscription',
'input' => 'select',
'class' => '',
'source' => 'Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\Boolean',
'global' => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'visible' => true,
'required' => true,
'user_defined' => false,
'default' => '',
'searchable' => false,
'filterable' => false,
'comparable' => false,
'visible_on_front' => false,
'used_in_product_listing' => true,
'unique' => false,
'apply_to' => ''
]
);

}

}

That’s it from this tutorial. I strongly believe there is always room for improvement. So I am open to any suggestion and feedback. Please feel free to leave hat you are thinking in the comments section below. Cheers.

Get base url current url in Magento 2

This tutorial is about Get base URL,current URL in Magento 2 .i.e how to get base URL current URL in Magento 2. you can also get media url and any custom url following this example. And in this tutorial, I will try to explain it briefly and in a simple way. I will share the code snippet below.

Get base url and current url in Magento 2

First lets note down the steps.

Step 1: Declare in (your module name)_HelloWorld
Step 2: Get current URL and base URL in the template (.phtml) file

Moving forward let us explain these steps step by step.

Declare in (your module name)_HelloWorld

You will use a block class of the module (your module name)_HelloWorld, then possibly inject the object of StoreManagerInterface and UrlInterface in the constructor of the module’s block class. You will work with two functions in the below class: getStoreManagerData() and getUrlInterfaceData().

In getStoreManagerData() function, you will use object of StoreManagerInterface to get the base and current url.

In getUrlInterfaceData() function, you will use object of UrlInterface to get the base and current url

Open app/code/QaisarSatti/HelloWorld/Block/HelloWorld.php class and run the code:

<?php
namespace QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Block;
class HelloWorld extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
protected $_storeManager;
protected $_urlInterface;

public function __construct(
\Magento\Store\Model\StoreManagerInterface $storeManager,
\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface $urlInterface,
)
{
$this->_storeManager = $storeManager;
$this->_urlInterface = $urlInterface;
}

/**
* Printing URLs using StoreManagerInterface
*/
public function getStoreManagerData()
{
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId() . ' ';

// by default: URL_TYPE_LINK is returned
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl() . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_WEB) . ' ';
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_DIRECT_LINK) . ' ';
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_MEDIA) . ' ';
echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseUrl(\Magento\Framework\UrlInterface::URL_TYPE_STATIC) . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getUrl('product/33') . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getCurrentUrl(false) . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseMediaDir() . ' ';

echo $this->_storeManager->getStore()->getBaseStaticDir() . ' ';
}

/**
* Printing URLs using URLInterface
*/
public function getUrlInterfaceData()
{
echo $this->_urlInterface->getCurrentUrl() . ' ';

echo $this->_urlInterface->getUrl() . ' ';

echo $this->_urlInterface->getUrl('helloworld/general/enabled') . ' ';

echo $this->_urlInterface->getBaseUrl() . ' ';
}
}
?>

Step 2:

Get base URL and current URL in the template file

Use the following piece of code:

<?php echo $block->getUrl('hello/test'); ?>
<?php echo $block->getBaseUrl(); ?>

Furthermore, that’s it from this tutorial. I hope it serves the purpose. Since these are learning tutorials, please feel free to drop any suggestions or queries in the comments section. That will definitely be highly appreciated.

Magento 2 add column in quote table and order table

This tutorial is about Magento 2 add column in quote table and order table .i.e how to get order and quote column value in Magento 2. And in this tutorial, I will try to explain it briefly and in a simple way.

If you have created a custom column for orders. I found a question and I would use it as a reference here and will share the piece of code as well.

<?php

namespace QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Setup;

use Magento\Framework\Setup\UpgradeSchemaInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\SchemaSetupInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;

class UpgradeSchema implements UpgradeSchemaInterface
{

public function upgrade(SchemaSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
{
$setup->startSetup();

$quote = 'quote';
$orderTable = 'sales_order';

$setup->getConnection()
->addColumn(
$setup->getTable($quote),
'mediabasebestellnummer',
[
'type' => \Magento\Framework\DB\Ddl\Table::TYPE_TEXT,
'length' => 255,
'comment' =>'MediabaseNummer'
]
);
//Order table
$setup->getConnection()
->addColumn(
$setup->getTable($orderTable),
'mediabasebestellnummer',
[
'type' => \Magento\Framework\DB\Ddl\Table::TYPE_TEXT,
'length' => 255,
'comment' =>'MediabaseNummer'
]
);

$setup->endSetup();
}
}

And now you want to get the custom attribute when you have an order. how to do it?. Let us have a look at the ways to achieve it. If you are using the following method

$custom = $order->getCustomAttribute('mediabasebestellnummer');

It may not work properly. There are a couple of ways to do it. We will have a brief look at this tutorial.

First of all, check if the column is created in the sales_order table

Now we can get the values by

$order->getMediabasebestellnummer();

$order->getData('mediabasebestellnummer');

For adding the data

$order->setMediabasebestellnummer('test value')->save();

$order->setData('mediabasebestellnummer','test value')->save();

$data = array('mediabasebestellnummer'=>'test');
$order->setData($data)->save();

I have tried to explain it in a simple way as there are many ways to perform this task.

Furthermore, make sure you have file fieldset.xml in your module to convert data from quote to order.

Following code will do the job for us.

Also, it is used when you have column in both quote tableand order table.
