I am upgrade a site from Gold and they had code to add a coupon code to an abandoned basket email, after selecting the coupon in a dropdown.
I have the code working to pick up the coupon code from a dropdown on SendAbandonedBasketsAlert view, but the coupon doesn't get picked up in the email.How can I get it to display in the email?
The code in the template from the old site is:
#if($coupon && $coupon!="")
<p>Please return and enter the Coupon Code $coupon during checkout to receive a 10% discount** on your entire order.</p>
#end

I have added this code in the ReportController, SendAbandondedBasketsAlert and when I step through the code, the coupon gets picked up. It just doesn't display in the email.


int couponId = model.SelectedCouponId;
Coupon coup = AbleContext.Resolve<ICouponRepository>().Load(couponId);

if (coup != null)
{

emailTemplate.Parameters.Add("coupon", coup.CouponCode);

}

mailMessage.Subject = model.Subject;
mailMessage.IsBodyHtml = emailTemplate.IsHTML;

Thanks

I was afraid you were going to say that. I populate a dropdown list of coupons to select from in the public ActionResult SendAbandonedBasketsAlert(int basketId) GET method. So the admin person possibly selects one then sends the email.
The old site had a select coupon box in the grid on the Daily Abandoned Baskets report - see image below. Then it passed the coupon id to the Send Abandoned Baskets Alert page in the query string and the coupon variable is populated in the email.

I tried that, but couldn't figure out a way to pass the couponid to the next page.
I tried picking up the couponId from the dropdown in the grid and adding it below, but it just passed 0. So that is why I decided to put it on the next page, not knowing that it had to be populated by the GET method.
@if (item.HasEmail)
{
<a href="@Url.Action("SendAbandonedBasketsAlert", new { basketId = item.BasketId })" class="btn btn-white btn-sm">Send Alert</a>
}
How can I pick up the couponId from a dropdownlist of coupons? The list of coupons in the grid in the view is :
<td class="text-right">
@Html.DropDownListFor(model => @item.SelectedCouponId, (IEnumerable<SelectListItem>)@item.CouponList, "Select a Coupon", new { @class = "form-control" })
</td>

I have added the following to the AbandonedBasketsModel and the controller populates the dropdown
public List<SelectListItem> CouponList { get; set; }
public int SelectedCouponId { get; set; }

Thanks

Judy,

I just realized it can be done with minimum changes as well. You can just process the newly added coupon parameter with the email contents. So you just need the following updates in the POST action method:



and then replace the below line of code



with



That's all! You can ignore the updates from the last post since it requires a lot more work than this.
