Hello Chris,

For emaling coupons to new registered members, you would need AwoCoupon Email:
https://awodev.com/products/joomla/aworewards

For buy product x get coupon, you could use the gift certificate functionality and attach a coupon code to the product you want. Then when the customer purchases, an email is automatically sent to them.

Hi Seyi,

Thanks for you answer.

For new registered member,
if I write a plugin by myself,
can I automatically generate a new coupon in my plugin?


For buy product x get coupon,
after the order status change to Confirmed, I received the coupon,
but if I hope I received the coupon when order status change to Shipped,
can I do that ?


Software Information:
AwoCoupon Pro 2.1.3

Hello,

I dont see any reason why you could not generate a new coupon in your plugin.

For the second question, you can change the status in awocoupon->configuration->gift certificate tab.

Hi Seyi,


For generate a new coupon,
my question is how to generate a new coupon, I don't know how to generate.


For the second question,
thanks for your help, I found it. ^___^

HI Chris,

You can look in models/coupon.php function generatecoupons to see how its done.

Hi Seyi,

Thank you, I finished my task for generation coupon when new member register.
But I have a question,

function check() in administrator/components/com_awocoupon/tables/coupons.php
after global $AWOCOUPON_lang;
I found the value of $AWOCOUPON_lang is null,
I need add these follow three lines before global $AWOCOUPON_lang;, then $AWOCOUPON_lang had value.
require JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_awocoupon/awocoupon.config.php';
global $AWOCOUPON_lang;
require JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_awocoupon/awocoupon.config.php';

But if use back-end administrator to generation coupon, no need these three lines.

Did you have any idea why ?

I dont know how you are calling tables/coupons.php but it is probably defined before that function is called in the backend administrator, maybe in admin.awocoupon.php.
