Hi,
I want several recipients (in addition to the shopper and admin) to receive a copy of the order confirmation email.
What's the easiest way to implement this?
I've looked into eZShopOperationCollection::sendOrderEmails, but it doesn't seem very flexible. Can I accomplish it without hacking this file?
Sincerely, Eirik Alfstad Johansen http://www.netmaking.no/

1) create a sendemail event and put it in the workflow.
2) if the list is a fixed one, use a mailing list (neworders@yourcompany.com) and put all the people inside it

Hi Xavier,
Thanks for the tip. Creating a custom event is of course one way to go, but being the lazy programmer that I am, I don't want to spend my time writing such an event simply to append an email recipient.
For now, I've simply hacked the eZShopOperationCollection::sendOrderEmails and appended a recipient.
It seems to me that it should be possible to define recipients of the order confirmation email, or admin recipients in general for that matter, as an array.

Hi Eirik,
We have a general purpose event to send emails. However, I gave it to do to an inexperienced developer, and the code is not good enough to dare offer it as a contribution.
Basicaly, the idea is that the event as a template parameter. You set it to "confirmorder" and on this template, you set-blocks the recipients and the subject and write the body of mail.

Sounds nice (and useful). Let me know if you ever get it cleaned up. I guess I'll stay with my hack for now.
