E-Mail attachments

If the registration option is enabled for an event, participants can register to the event. The extension allows you to send emails to the participant in order to notify him, that he has registered or confirmed his registration.

The extension supports to add attachments to the following type of emails:

New event registration
New event registration on the waitlist
Confirmed event registration
Confirmed event registration on the waitlist
Custom notifications sent from backend (only recipient group user)

Configuring email attachments

Attachments must be configured in TypoScript and it is possible to add attachments globally to all emails of a specific type or individual per event. Due to readability, the default TypoScript setup does not include an example configuration for email attachments.

Possible attachment configurations

Attachment configuration can be added to the following TypoScript settings:

plugin.tx_sfeventmgt.settings.notification.registrationNew
plugin.tx_sfeventmgt.settings.notification.registrationWaitlistNew
plugin.tx_sfeventmgt.settings.notification.registrationConfirmed
plugin.tx_sfeventmgt.settings.notification.registrationWaitlistConfirmed
plugin.tx_sfeventmgt.settings.notification.customNotifications.your-template-name

Note, that you also need to configure the recipient group (user or admin).

Properties for attachment configuration

Property:	Data type:	Description:	Default:
fromFiles	array	Array of files located on the web storage.	empty
fromEventProperty	array	Array of property names of the event, which contains one or multiple files to be attached to the email	empty
fromRegistrationProperty	array	Array of property names of the registration, which contains one or multiple files to be attached to the email	empty

Example for new event registrations:

plugin.tx_sfeventmgt {
  settings {
    notification {
      registrationNew {
        attachments {
          user {
            fromFiles {
              1 = fileadmin/terms-and-conditions.pdf
            }
            fromEventProperty {
              1 = files
              2 = image
            }
            fromRegistrationProperty {
              1 = registrationFiles
            }
          }
          admin {
            fromFiles {}
            fromEventProperty {}
            fromRegistrationProperty {}
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The example above configures the attachments for emails to the user (the participant) when a new registration is created.

The fromFiles setting configures the file fileadmin/terms-and-conditions.pdf to be added to the email. If the file does not exist, it will not be added.

The fromEventProperty setting configures to add all files from the event properties files and image. Those properties are of the type \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Persistence\ObjectStorage and may contain fileReferences. It is also possible to use properties of the type \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Domain\Model\FileReference

The configuration ot the fromRegistrationProperty setting is similar to the fromEventProperty setting. In the example above, the property registrationFiles will be used. Note, that the registration model of the extension does not contain any default fields that can be used as attachments, so you have to add your own if you need them.

iCal attachment

Configuration of an iCal attachment is similar to the configuration of attachments (see above). The only difference is, that the iCal attachment is only supported for the recipient group user

Properties for attachment configuration

Property:	Data type:	Description:	Default:
iCalFile	boolean	If set, a iCal file for the event will be attached to the user email	empty

Example for new event registrations:

plugin.tx_sfeventmgt {
  settings {
    notification {
      registrationNew {
        attachments {
          user {
            iCalFile = 1
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

In the example above, emails for new user registrations will include an iCal file for the event.

Email attachments using PSR-14 Events

If the TypoScript configuration settings for email attachments do not fulfill your requirements, you can use the ModifyUserMessageAttachmentsEvent Event to add custom attachments using PHP (see PSR-14 Events)
