nVelocity usage

[jmestep]

I've been looking thru the source code to find out how nVelocity has been integrated with Able and possibly how to add other parameters/events. In the StoreEventEngine.cs and ScripletPart.cs, there are references to things like

Code: Select all

  parameters["order"] = order;
            parameters["customer"] = order.User;
            parameters["oldstatusname"] = oldStatusName;
            ProcessEmails(StoreEvent.OrderStatusUpdated, parameters);

Is that where they get integrated with nVelocity? So anything in the classes for store, order, users, products, payments? The Able wiki reference doesn't show events, for example. Is anything in the Stores namespace available for parameter usage?

One way for custom parameters support in the StoreEngine could be that you write a custom function with one parameter of type hashtable. Then you can call that function of store engine providing it the custom hashtable with parameters. for example

Code: Select all

Hashtable parameters = new Hashtable();
parameters.Add("myuser", Token.Instance.User);
parameters.Add("mycustomint", 123);
StoreEventEngine.MyCustomFunction(parameters)

You can add any ablecommerce object in the parameters. These custom parameters will be available to you when sending the Email. So you can write NVelocity code using these custom parameters inside your template.

This may be a dumb question but where are StoreEventEngine.cs and ScripletPart.cs located?

Thanks,

These are classes in API source code.

Thank you for your response. I looked through all of the site pages and code and didn't find them. I appreciate the confirmation.
