Hi Paul,
Is there a reason you are not using "$this->render()->body()" like this?
public function sendConfirmation() {
$booking = $this->Booking->find('first', array(
'conditions'=>array('Booking.id'=>$this->Booking->id),
));
$this->set(array('booking' => $booking));
$email->viewVars(array('booking' => $booking));
$this->autoRender = false;
$invoiceData = $this->render('pdf/invoice', 'pdf/default')->body();
$filename = TMP . 'invoice-'.$this->Booking->id.'.pdf';
file_put_contents($filename, $invoiceData);
$email = new CakeEmail('default');
$email->template('Bookings/confirmation', 'default')
->emailformat('both')
->to($booking['Organisation']['bookings_email'])
->subject('NEAS Training System: Booking Confirmation')
->attachments(array('invoice.pdf'=>$filename))
->send();
unlink($filename);
}
Even like that I am not happy. I really wanted this line to change:
->attachments(array('invoice.pdf'=>$invoiceData))
to:
->attachments(array('invoice.pdf'=>array('data'=>$invoiceData)))
and it was not that hard, see "email.diff" in attachment.
/lib/Cake/Network/Email/CakeEmail.php:
Attach a file from string and specify additional properties:
$email->attachments(array('custom_name.png' => array(
'data' => file_get_contents('path/to/file'),
'mimetype' => 'image/png',
'contentId' => 'abc123'
));
Unfortunately the 'data' key is not (yet) supported.
Hopefully it will be in some new version.
Kind regards,
Maurits

OK, I ended up with a solution which saved me making an extra request
when I realised I could render /bookings/invoice/%id%.pdf into a
variable and temporarily save that to the server to be attached:
public function sendConfirmation() {
$email = new CakeEmail('default');
$booking = $this->Booking->find('first', array(
'conditions'=>array('Booking.id'=>$this->Booking->id),
));
$email->viewVars(array(
'booking' => $booking
));
$invoicePath = $this->getTmpFile();
$email->template('Bookings/confirmation', 'default')
->emailformat('both')
->to($booking['Organisation']['bookings_email'])
->subject('NEAS Training System: Booking Confirmation')
->attachments(array('invoice.pdf'=>$invoicePath))
->send();
unlink($invoicePath);
}
public function getTmpFile() {
$this->autoRender = false;
$view = new View($this, false);
$view->set('booking', $this->Booking->find('first', array(
'conditions' => array('Booking.id' => $this->Booking->id)
)));
$view->viewPath = 'Bookings';
$file = $view->render('pdf/invoice', 'pdf/default');
$filename = TMP . 'invoice-'.$this->Booking->id.'.pdf';
$handle = fopen($filename, 'w+');
fwrite($handle, $file);
fclose($handle);
return $filename;
}
There may be a better way to render a view into a variable, but I got
this method from reading:
http://wp.headynation.com/cakephp-get-htmloutput-of-view-without-view-displaying-or-outputting-using-render/
HTH, Paul.
