R6 How to preview Vendor Notification Email?

Post by AbleMods » Mon Jan 27, 2014 9:13 am

There is special code in the EmailTemplate class that parses for the text 'vendor' in the TO field of any email template. When 'vendor' is detected, the correct vendor-specific email template parameters are built and handed to the email template. This makes the vendor-specific email notification possible.

However the MailMergeTemplate class used for previewing a template email from the View-Order page does not perform the same 'vendor' check. Thus there is no way to preview a vendor notification email. MailMergeTemplate does not build the vendor-specific template parameters.

Is there any possible workaround, or perhaps a small test page that could be built? It's incredibly hard to adjust the vendor notification emails without a way to preview the template changes.
