Facts

[](#facts)

- version: 1.0.1

Description
-----------

[](#description)

This extension provides methods to attach documents to Magento emails, i.e. it does not have any configuration or does anything out of the box. You can use it to base your own Magento extensions on it.

Additionally the extensions introduces the following new events to hook into the email sending process:

- vianetz\_pdfattachments\_email\_template\_init
- vianetz\_pdfattachments\_email\_send\_before
- vianetz\_pdfattachments\_email\_send\_after

You can use the following helper method to attach any document to an email, e.g. in the *email\_send\_before* event:

```
Mage::helper('vianetz/pdfattachments')->addAttachmentToEmail(Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template $emailTemplate, $fileContents, $filename);
```

A sample implementation of the usage of this module can be found in our [Advanced Invoice Layout Extension for Magento](https://www.vianetz.com/advancedinvoicelayout).
