Hello.

Attachment can be uploaded via AttachmentManager, then can be transformed to EmailAttachment via EmailAttachmentTransformer, and finally attached to the body of your email.

The AttachmentManager::prepareRemoteFile() method return an instance of File… How to convert it into an Attachment ?
This not work :

PHP

$attachement = $this->emailAttachmentTransformer->entityFromUploadedFile($this->attachmentManager->oroToModel($this->kernelRootDir . '/../web/media/alertes/' . $id . '.png'));

1	$attachement = $this->emailAttachmentTransformer->entityFromUploadedFile($this->attachmentManager->oroToModel($this->kernelRootDir . '/../web/media/alertes/' . $id . '.png'));

Or

PHP

$attachement = $this->emailAttachmentTransformer->entityFromUploadedFile($this->attachmentManager->prepareRemoteFilee($this->kernelRootDir . '/../web/media/monitors/' . $id . '.png'));

1	$attachement = $this->emailAttachmentTransformer->entityFromUploadedFile($this->attachmentManager->prepareRemoteFilee($this->kernelRootDir . '/../web/media/monitors/' . $id . '.png'));

Their is something that I have misunderstood.

You can create and persist Attachment as a regular entity – it simply shows relation between entity and file. After that you can attach it to email. Check this example:

PHP

/** @var \Oro\Bundle\AttachmentBundle\Entity\Attachment $attachment */ $attachment = new Attachment(); // set attachment params and save entity to DB $transformer = $this->get('oro_email.email_attachment_transformer'); /** @var \Oro\Bundle\EmailBundle\Entity\EmailAttachment $emailAttachmentEntity */ $emailAttachmentEntity = $transformer->oroToEntity($attachment); /** @var \Oro\Bundle\EmailBundle\Form\Model\EmailAttachment $emailAttachmentModel */ $emailAttachmentModel = $transformer->oroToModel($attachment); $emailAttachmentModel->setEmailAttachment($emailAttachmentEntity); /** @var \Oro\Bundle\EmailBundle\Form\Model\Email $emailModel */ $emailModel = new Email(); // set email params $emailModel->addAttachment($emailAttachmentModel);

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

/** @var \Oro\Bundle\AttachmentBundle\Entity\Attachment $attachment */ $attachment = new Attachment(); // set attachment params and save entity to DB   $transformer = $this->get('oro_email.email_attachment_transformer'); /** @var \Oro\Bundle\EmailBundle\Entity\EmailAttachment $emailAttachmentEntity */ $emailAttachmentEntity = $transformer->oroToEntity($attachment); /** @var \Oro\Bundle\EmailBundle\Form\Model\EmailAttachment $emailAttachmentModel */ $emailAttachmentModel = $transformer->oroToModel($attachment); $emailAttachmentModel->setEmailAttachment($emailAttachmentEntity);   /** @var \Oro\Bundle\EmailBundle\Form\Model\Email $emailModel */ $emailModel = new Email(); // set email params $emailModel->addAttachment($emailAttachmentModel);

I don’t need to save attachement in DB.

Is it possible to just attach a file to an email and send it without save the attachment in DB.

At the end I will make an email template but for the time it is usefull to just use Email model and set his params.

Thanks and regards.

Yes, it is even easier – you just have to build appropriate EmailAttachment object and add it to your email. Use body of EmailAttachmentTransformer::oroToEntity as an example.

[adriwan_kenobyParticipant]

Sorry but I don’t understand how to proced.
To much thing that i am not aware.

What type of object must I pass to addAttachment() method ? An AttachmentEntity or an AttachmentModel.
Have I to deal with both ? It’s seem to be a litlle complicated for just one such thing.
Am I on the right way ?

PHP

$emailAttachmentEntity = new AttachmentEntity(); if ($step) { $file = $this->attachmentManager->prepareRemoteFile($this->kernelRootDir . '/../web/media/alertes/' . $id . '.png'); } else { $file = $this->attachmentManager->prepareRemoteFile($this->kernelRootDir . '/../web/media/monitors/' . $id . '.png'); } $emailAttachmentEntity->setFileName($file->getFilename()); $emailAttachmentContent = new EmailAttachmentContent(); $emailAttachmentContent->setContent( base64_encode($this->filesystem->get($file->getFilename())->getContent()) ); $emailAttachmentContent->setContentTransferEncoding('base64'); $emailAttachmentContent->setEmailAttachment($emailAttachmentEntity); $emailAttachmentEntity->setContent($emailAttachmentContent); $emailAttachmentEntity->setContentType($file->getMimeType()); $emailAttachmentEntity->setFile($file); $emailAttachmentEntity->setFileName( $file->getOriginalFilename() );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

$emailAttachmentEntity = new AttachmentEntity();                  if ($step) {             $file = $this->attachmentManager->prepareRemoteFile($this->kernelRootDir . '/../web/media/alertes/' . $id . '.png');         } else {             $file = $this->attachmentManager->prepareRemoteFile($this->kernelRootDir . '/../web/media/monitors/' . $id . '.png');         }         $emailAttachmentEntity->setFileName($file->getFilename());                  $emailAttachmentContent = new EmailAttachmentContent();         $emailAttachmentContent->setContent(                 base64_encode($this->filesystem->get($file->getFilename())->getContent())         );         $emailAttachmentContent->setContentTransferEncoding('base64');         $emailAttachmentContent->setEmailAttachment($emailAttachmentEntity);         $emailAttachmentEntity->setContent($emailAttachmentContent);         $emailAttachmentEntity->setContentType($file->getMimeType());         $emailAttachmentEntity->setFile($file);         $emailAttachmentEntity->setFileName(             $file->getOriginalFilename()         );

Then, have I make the model too ?

This method requires instance of Oro\Bundle\EmailBundle\Form\Model\EmailAttachment.

> Have I to deal with both ?
Depends on your case. If you don’t have this file stored in DB then probably you will not need entity, only model.

> Am I on the right way ?
Yes, direction is correct. :) I’d propose to check whether you need to prepare you file, because looks like you alredy have it uploaded, so you don’t need to do it again.

Hie,

Below my solution in Workflow\Action based on emailAttachmentTransformer service… if it can help you :

PHP

protected function getEmailAttachmentEntity(Subscription $subscription) { #TODO : check error from export handler // Export xlsx $options = [ 'filters' => [ 'codeBroker' => [$subscription->getCodeBroker()->getId()] ] ]; $handler = $this->exportHandler->getExportResult( 'dawkins_subscription_export_to_xlsx', 'dawkins_subscription_subscription', 'export', 'xlsx', null, $options ); // Get fileName $a = explode('/', $handler['url']); $fileName = end($a); $fullFileName = $this->fileSystemOperator ->getTemporaryFile($fileName) ->getRealPath(); $uploadedFile = new UploadedFile($fullFileName, $fileName); $emailAttachment = $this->emailAttachmentTransformer->entityFromUploadedFile($uploadedFile); $emailBody = new EmailBody(); $emailAttachment->setEmailBody($emailBody); return $this->emailAttachmentTransformer->entityToModel($emailAttachment); }

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

protected function getEmailAttachmentEntity(Subscription $subscription)     {         #TODO : check error from export handler         // Export xlsx         $options = [             'filters' => [                 'codeBroker' => [$subscription->getCodeBroker()->getId()]             ]         ];           $handler = $this->exportHandler->getExportResult(             'dawkins_subscription_export_to_xlsx',             'dawkins_subscription_subscription',             'export',             'xlsx',             null,             $options         );           // Get fileName         $a = explode('/', $handler['url']);         $fileName = end($a);           $fullFileName = $this->fileSystemOperator             ->getTemporaryFile($fileName)             ->getRealPath();         $uploadedFile = new UploadedFile($fullFileName, $fileName);           $emailAttachment = $this->emailAttachmentTransformer->entityFromUploadedFile($uploadedFile);           $emailBody = new EmailBody();           $emailAttachment->setEmailBody($emailBody);           return $this->emailAttachmentTransformer->entityToModel($emailAttachment);     }

Dear Sir
After one year again I face with auto email. your explanation and sample code were so usefull, thanks a lot.
when I put email of user of system in bcc list (in backend), dialog of email show my email as below
