Editing Email Content

[Stuart Grierson]

Is there any way to alter the content of the email that is sent to confirm a booking?

It currently displays something like this

Dear John Smith, Thank you for booking with Grow Again.

Your Booking Information:
Hello World Event

11th March 2014

Ticket Price Ref.
Standard £12.00 abc123
Standard £12.00 def456
Student £10.00 a1b2c3
Total £34.00

. Your booking reference is 1234

All I want to do is change the Ticket Heading on the table to something more appropriate to my site like “Booking Type”

I have ticket/booking types like

Course Only
Course + Single Room
Course + Double Room (2People)

I have changed all references on the front end by altering the appropriate template files but that bit of the email template is generated by an included function I think.

That’s correct – the table is produced by _eventorganiser_get_booking_table_for_email() (in includes/booking-actions.php).

Perhaps it could be reworked to make it easier to over-ride, but currently the only way of editing that table is to use the eventorganiser_get_booking_table_for_email filter. This leaves you with two options:

1. Use regular expressions to change the ‘tickets’ header. This can feel a bit nasty, I agree.
2. Replace the table wholesale. Which effectively means “redoing” the table but with the changes made.

As an example of (2)

function my_booking_table_for_email( $booking_table, $booking_id ){
    //Either replace $booking_table or edit it using regular expression.

    $total_price = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking_id, 'booking_amount' );
    $total_qty = eo_get_booking_meta( $booking_id, 'ticket_quantity' );
    $tickets = eo_get_booking_tickets( $booking_id );

    //For example, if replacing it:...
    $booking_table = sprintf(
            '<table style="width:100%%;text-align:center;">
                <thead style="font-weight:bold;"><tr> <th>%s</th><th> %s </th> <th>%s</th></tr></thead>
                <tbody>',
            __( 'Booking Type', 'eventorganiserp' ),
            __( 'Price', 'eventorganiserp' ),
            __( 'Quantity', 'eventorganiserp' )
    );

    foreach ( $tickets as $ticket ) {
        $booking_table .= sprintf(
                '<tr> <td>%s<td> %s </td> <td>%d</td></tr>',
                esc_html( $ticket->ticket_name ),
                eo_format_price( $ticket->ticket_price ),
                $ticket->ticket_quantity
        );
    }

    $booking_table .= apply_filters( 'eventorganiser_get_booking_table_for_email_pre_total', '', $booking_id );
    $booking_table .= sprintf( '<tr> <td>%s</td><td> %s </td> <td>%d</td></tr></tbody></table>', __( 'Total' ), eo_format_price( $total_price ), $total_qty );

    return $booking_table;
}
add_filters( 'eventorganiser_get_booking_table_for_email', 'my_booking_table_for_email', 10, 2 );
