    Hi, Eventualo.
    How’re you doing?
    I hope everything is fine.

    At the moment, I’m sending out two attachments for every newsletter subscriber using the function snippet below, inside the mu-plugin folder.

    I was wondering how I could tweak it to send out either two attachments in Italian or two attachments in English, depending on the selection the subscriber makes for the newsletter language (Italian / English.)

    If you could help me yourself, or direct me to some site that has some information.

    PS.: When the email field is empty, your plugin gives the message:
    “The e-email address is not correct”, but should be: “The e-mail address is not correct” e-mail, not e-email.

    Thanks!

    Marco.

    $attachments = array();
    $subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );
    $subject = “Welcome to the Newsletter!”;
    $body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/uploads/email_text.php’);

    array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . ‘/profile-pics/attachment2.mobi’ );
    wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);
    }

    You can get the 2-chars-language-code using alo_em_get_language function, then you can attach the right files depending on the language.
    A quick sample:

    $lang = alo_em_get_language();

if ( $lang == 'en' ) {
    // The English attachs
    array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_EN.epub';
    // ...
} else if ( $lang == 'it' ) {
    // The Italian attachs
    array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_IT.epub';
    // ...
}

    Hello, Eventualo.

    Unfortunately, browser language is not an effective discriminant for me, since for instance US subscribers using an english language-based browser may want to opt in to the Italian Newsletter. Or an Italian-based user may want to receive the English Newsletter.

    Moreover, I got a lot of subscribers with an empty Language tab in the Alo Easy Mail Subscribers panel.

    That’s why attachments based on subscription list-IDs would be more to the point IMHO, because subscribers would choose the list, hence what they’d like to be sent. Just think of a subscription policy based on book genres (romance, sci-fi, thriller, etc.) that gives away samples on subscription. In this case, language would be irrelevant.

    Can’t it be done using list IDs?

    Thank you for yor time.

    Again, don’t forget to change the “e-email” to “e-mail” in the messages printed out by your plugin.

    Marco.

    Hello.

    I tried this, but nothing is sent after the activation, ergo that’s not the right way to retrieve the $list_id parameter:

    $attachments = array();

$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );

if ( $list_id == 2 ) {
    // The English attachs
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
    // ...
} else if ( $list_id == 6 ) {
    // The Italian attachs
	$subject = "Benvenuto alla Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/ita.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_ita.mobi' );}

wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);

}

    This isn’t working, either:

    $attachments = array();
$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );

$listnum = alo_em_get_subscriber( $list_id );

if ( $listnum == 2 ) {
    // The English attachs
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
    // ...
} else if ( $listnum == 6 ) {
    // The Italian attachs
	$subject = "Benvenuto alla Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/ita.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_ita.mobi' );}

wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);

}

    All right, scratch the last two incomplete posts.

    I tried this as well, but it doesn’t work (it always sends the ELSE condition.)

    $attachments = array();

	$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );	

if(isset($_POST['alo_em_form_lists[]']) && $_POST['alo_em_form_lists[]']==='2') {
    // The English attachs
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics//attachment2_eng.mobi' );}
    // ...

elseif(isset($_POST['alo_em_form_lists[]']) && $_POST['alo_em_form_lists[]']==='6') {
    // The Italian attachs
	$subject = "Benvenuto alla Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_ita.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics//attachment2_ita.mobi' );}
    // ...

else {
    // The English attachs
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics//attachment2_eng.mobi' );}
    // ...

wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);

    Thanks for your help.

    Ok, I understand.
    About the subscriber mailing list you can use alo_em_get_user_mailinglists that returns an array of list IDs, e.g.:

    $attachments = array();

$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );
$lists = alo_em_get_user_mailinglists( $subscriber->ID );
foreach ( $lists as $list ) {
    if ( $list == 1 ) { // the list ID
        array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics//attachment_list_1.mobi' );
    }
    /* else if list == 2 .... etc */
}

    About my first snippet, it’s wrong about subscriber language. You can get it with alo_em_get_subscriber, e.g.:

    $subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );
if ( $subscriber->lang == 'it' ) {
    // ...
} // else ...

    Hey, that works!

    Also:

    // if two checkboxes are pressed:

elseif ( $list == 6  &&  $list == 2 )
{...}

    One last question, I swear — what if no checkbox is pressed? I tried with:

    $list == 0

    or

    $list == 1

    or

    $list == NULL

    but none worked.

    In both cases, the final ELSE condition in the FOREACH loop doesn’t send anything.

    Remind that $lists can be: an array of list IDs and the $list inside foreach is the ID of each list, or false if subscriber didn’t check any lists.
    Before the foreach you should check if subscriber checked at least a list, so the updated code can be:

    $attachments = array();

$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );
$lists = alo_em_get_user_mailinglists( $subscriber->ID );

if ( is_array( $lists ) ) {
	foreach ( $lists as $list ) {
		if ( $list == 1 ) { // the list ID
			array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics//attachment_list_1.mobi' );
		}
		/* else if list == 2 .... etc */
	}
} else {
	// No lists selected by subscriber
}

    For completion, I’m adding another way to do it, using the in_array php function:

    $attachments = array();
	$subscriber = alo_em_get_subscriber( $email );
	$lists = alo_em_get_user_mailinglists( $subscriber->ID );

	// I have two subscription lists: ID 2 (English Newsletter) and ID 6 (Italian Newsletter)
	// Each list has its own separate check button in the submission form.

	// Checking if no selection is made

if ( is_array( $lists ) ) {

	// Checking array $lists whether double selection is made:

	if(in_array('2',$lists) && in_array('6',$lists)){
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_ita.mobi' );
}	

	// Checking if only the English Newsletter is selected (ID 2)

elseif(in_array('2',$lists)){
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
}	

	// Checking if only the Italian Newsletter is selected (ID 6)

elseif(in_array('6',$lists)){
	$subject = "Benvenuto alla Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_ita.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_ita.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_ita.mobi' );
}  

	// If none of the above:

else {
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
}
}

	// Closing ELSE of the "no selection is made" check above.

	else {
	$subject = "Welcome to the Newsletter!";
	$body = file_get_contents(WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/uploads/html_eng.php');
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment1_eng.epub' );
	array_push($attachments, WP_CONTENT_DIR . '/profile-pics/attachment2_eng.mobi' );
}
	wp_mail( $email, $subject, $body, false, $attachments);

    Thanks again and best.

    M.
