Please refer to the Development -> Macro expressions chapter in Kentico CMS Developer's Guide for more details.
 
[C#]

 

using System;

using CMS.GlobalHelper;

 

public static string ResolveCustomMacro(MacroResolver sender, string expression, out bool match)

   {

       match = false;

      string result = expression;

     

      //

      // Custom macro examples

      //

      switch (expression.ToLower())

       {

          // Display customer total credit, macro in template: {#totalcredit#}

          case "totalcredit":

 

               match = true;

 

              // Get shopping cart object from resolver

               CMS.Ecommerce.ShoppingCartInfo cartObj = sender.SourceObject as

CMS.Ecommerce.ShoppingCartInfo;

              if ((cartObj != null) && (cartObj.ShoppingCartCustomerID > 0))

               {

                  // Get customer total credit in default currency

                  double totalCredit =

CMS.Ecommerce.CreditEventInfoProvider.GetCustomerTotalCredit(cartObj.ShoppingCartCustomerID);

 

                   CMS.Ecommerce.CurrencyInfo currentCurrency = null;

                  double currentRate = 1.0;

 

                  // Use shopping cart currency and its exchange rate

                  if (cartObj.CurrencyInfoObj != null)

                   {

                       currentCurrency = cartObj.CurrencyInfoObj;

                       currentRate = cartObj.ExchangeRate;

 

                      // Apply exchange rate

                       totalCredit =

CMS.Ecommerce.ExchangeTableInfoProvider.ApplyExchangeRate(totalCredit, currentRate);

 

                   }

                  // Use default currency

                  else

                   {

                       currentCurrency = CMS.Ecommerce.CurrencyInfoProvider.GetMainCurrency();

                   }

 

                  // Round value

                   totalCredit =

CMS.Ecommerce.CurrencyInfoProvider.RoundTo(totalCredit, currentCurrency);

 

                  // Return formatted value

                   result =

CMS.Ecommerce.CurrencyInfoProvider.GetFormatedPrice(totalCredit, currentCurrency);  

 

               }              

              break;

 

          // Display current date and time, macro in template: {#currenttime#}

          case "currenttime":

               result = DateTime.Now.ToString();

              break;

       }

      return result;

   }

 

E-mail templates

 

You can manage e-mail templates at CMS Site Manager -> Administration -> E-mail templates.

Customizing e-mail subject

 

Beside e-mail templates, you can use the very same macros in subject of an e-mail. All you have to do is change the appropriate localization strings as specified in the table bellow. You can change the given localization strings at <your web project folder>/CMSResources/CMS.<given UI culture code >.resx (for default culture it's CMS.resx)

 

E-mail template

E-mail subject localization string

order notification to administrator

ordernotification.administratorsubject

order notification to customer

ordernotification.customersubject

order payment notification to administrator

orderpaymentnotification.administratorsubject

order payment notification to customer

orderpaymentnotification.customersubject

order status notification to administrator

orderstatusnotification.administratorsubject

order status notification to customer

orderstatusnotification.customersubject

 

 

Following example shows how to customize subject of the order notifications which are sent to administrator:

 

1. Go to <your web project folder>/CMSResources/ and open the CMS.resx file.

 

2. Find the ordernotification.administratorsubject key and change its value to Order with ID {%Order.OrderID%} - {%OrderStatus.StatusDisplayName%} so that the given part of code look in the following way.

 

<data name="ordernotification.administratorsubject" xml:space="preserve">

<value>

   Order with ID {%Order.OrderID%} - {%OrderStatus.StatusDisplayName%}

</value>

<comment>IsNotCustom</comment>

</data>

 

This will include information about order ID and order status in the subject of an e-mail send to the administrator.

 

Default settings of the e-mail subjects

 

When new order is made or items of the existing one are changed:

 

E-mail subject string

Default value

ordernotification.administratorsubject

Order: {%Order.OrderInvoiceNumber%}

ordernotification.customersubject

Your order: {%Order.OrderInvoiceNumber%}

 

When payment is received:

 

E-mail subject string

Default value

orderpaymentnotification.administratorsubject

Order {%Order.OrderInvoiceNumber%}: Payment received

orderpaymentnotification.customersubject

Your order {%Order.OrderInvoiceNumber%}: Payment received

 

When status of the existing order is changed:

 

E-mail subject string

Default value

orderstatusnotification.administratorsubject

Order {%Order.OrderInvoiceNumber%}: {%OrderStatus.StatusDisplayName%}

orderstatusnotification.customersubject

Your order {%Order.OrderInvoiceNumber%}: {%OrderStatus.StatusDisplayName%}
