Shortcode email templates

Hello @alfredo1216

Regrettably requested email constant is not a part of our solution. However, you may try the following:

The first solution involves manually editing the email template from the “Manage Email Templates” section and updating the footer with the current year every year. This is a straightforward solution, and since the footer needs to be updated only once a year, it shouldn’t be a significant issue.

The second solution involves code customization (Not recommended). You may create a new email constant that can be used in email templates to include the current year. This solution would require technical expertise, and it may take some time to implement. However, once implemented, the solution would automate the process of updating the year in the footer of the email templates.

If you require any further information, please contact us.

Thanks!

Hello,

I understand, and there would be no possibility of integrating it with a shortcode? For example I use the following code:

add_shortcode('current_year', 'get_current_year');

function get_current_year() {
    return date("Y");
}

Which works perfect, but for some reason it doesn’t work in your templates. Any idea how I could fix it?

However, it would be ideal if they implemented that functionality in a future update.

Thank you,

Hello @alfredo1216

It seems you are trying to use a shortcode to insert dynamic content, such as the current year, into email templates. However, the constants you mentioned, such as USER_NAME and LAST_NAME, are not shortcodes.

Here are some points to clarify:

1. Constants like USER_NAME and LAST_NAME are typically replaced with actual data using a find and replace method, rather than through a shortcode.
2. Unfortunately, it is not possible to implement this functionality via the method you suggested using shortcodes.
3. However, there is a filter hook called eb_emailtmpl_constants_values that you can use to manipulate the values of email constants. This filter provides all the email templates and their corresponding values.
4. To use this filter, you can define a function that takes in the $constants parameter and returns an array of modified values for the constants. This function should be defined in the same file where you add the filter hook.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regarding implementation of this feature in our future plugin update:

We have developed a generic solution keeping comprehensive situations in mind which the majority of our users experience. And, we avoid adding functionality to the core code of our plugins that are not used or requested on a multitude of levels by our active users. Because this will be the potential to make a terrible impact on the performance of our plugin.

We have registered this feature request with our product development team for validation. If approved, we will release this feature in our future plugin updates.

Thanks,

Perfect, with the information provided I was able to adjust the code to the mentioned Hook and now it works, I show the year automatically in the templates.

Thank you very much for your explanation and excellent attention.
