apply_filters_ref_array( 'vikrestaurants_before_send_mail_subject_{$group}_{$type}', bool $sendstring &$subject, object $data )

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 vikrestaurants_before_send_mail_subject_restaurant_customer.


Parameters

$send

(bool)  Use false to prevent the e-mail sending.

&$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.


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.
 *
 * The hook name is built as:
 * vikrestaurants_before_send_mail_subject_[restaurant|takeaway]_[type]
 *
 * @param  bool    $send      False to prevent the e-mail sending.
 * @param  string  &$subject  The current e-mail subject.
 * @param  object  $order     The take-away order details.
 */
add_filter('vikrestaurants_before_send_mail_subject_takeaway_customer', function($send, &$subject, $order) {
    if ($order->statusRole == 'APPROVED') {
        $subject = __('Your order has been confirmed', 'myplugin');
    } elseif ($order->statusRole == 'PENDING') {
        if ($order->payment) {
            $subject = __('Your order requires a payment', 'myplugin');
        } else {
            $subject = __('Your order is waiting for a manual approval', 'myplugin');
        }
    }

    return $send;
}, 10, 3);
