Hello,
before renewing my subscription to Event Gallery extend I would have a question: I am only interested in a new update feature, that is when comments appear on the orders in the email that arrives after the order (at the moment I see the comments on the orders they are in the gallery administration panel). Since I have made many changes to the gallery - which I would lose in case of a new installation of the new module - is it possible to replace only the file that controls the sending of the emails?

Another question. I created two types of payments (paypal and cash payment in the store) and two shipments (digital file downloads and pick-up in store). I would like in the case of downloading the paid photos the only payment method available is paypal, otherwise the customers can download the photos without paying.

Thank you

Hi,
I hope, you made all the changes as template overrides. Everything else will be overwritten with every update. No exceptions. For emails I have implemented the email templates. You can and you should use them to customize your emails. Comments can be included as well. Just check the default template.
BTW, most of the customization I saw so far can be done by Css only.
Regarding the download: images are downloadable only if the order is marked as paid. So it does not matter which payment method you use. Paying by PayPal will automatically mark an order as paid. Cash payment is a manually payment method. Images can be downloaded as soon as you make the order as paid. Besides this, you can define if a payment method supports digital stuff.

Thanks for the reply.
I think I did not understand clearly about the comments in the order's email (surely it's my fault). My wish is this: I pay the quota for the extended version and you send me the files to be replaced to add only the feature of the comments in the mails of orders. In the email template there is the entry that calls the comments, but the comments do not appear, so I'm interested in the feature.

Thank you!

If you extend your subscription, you can download and install the latest version of Event Gallery. It requires Joomla 3.8. You're using a very old version of Joomla. From a security point of view a terrible thing.

I'm sorry, but I can't provide you with a set of dedicated files. Everything plays together, so it is the whole package in the end. If you changed files located in the components folders, this is a very good reason to move to template overrides. Doing this will avoid losing data with every update. You still need to maintain your custom code to be compatible.

Side note: open components\com_eventgallery\library\manager\emailtemplate.php and add the buyernote line somewhere near the end.

 $lineitems = Array();
        /**
         * @var EventgalleryLibraryImagelineitem $lineitem
         */
        foreach($order->getLineItems() as $lineitem) {
            $lineitemData = Array(
                "quantity"  => $lineitem->getQuantity(),
                "price" => (string)$lineitem->getPrice(),
                "singleprice" => (string)$lineitem->getSinglePrice(),
                "foldername" => $lineitem->getFolderName(),
                "filename" => $lineitem->getFileName(),
                "buyernote" => $lineitem->getBuyerNote(),
                "imagetype" => Array("name"  => $lineitem->getImageType()->getDisplayName()),
                "imageurl" =>  $lineitem->getFile()->getImageUrl(NULL, NULL, true),
                "thumburl" => $lineitem->getMailThumbUrl()

        );
            array_push($lineitems, $lineitemData);
        }

Please still consider an update for Joomla!. Using outdated version is a high risk for your website.

Thank you very much for your help, I will try to update as soon as possible. Regarding the digital download of the file, it is true, the link arrives only after the order is marked as paid, but in the order mail that arrives to the customer the thumbnails of the photos ordered (if clicked) lead to the high image resolution. Is there no way to use lower resolution thumbnails in templates?

Event Gallery delivers thumbnails up to 1600px, but never the original image. This is true for both the email and the website. The lightbox is showing the largest thumbnail as well.

You can:

- upload smaller images and put the original ones to a special folder
- use watermarks
- remove the thumbnails from the mail (not a protection)
