Hello. I bought Serials just over two years ago and tried to set it up for my ticket shop. At the time, I ran into difficulties with this feature request, which I submitted around 20 months ago. As a result, I am unable to use Serials for its most important function: the delivery method ‘Send by email’. As I explained at the time, it’s unfortunately not a solution for me that the serials can be ordered via a different product variant; instead, the serials should only be generated when the customer selects a specific delivery method. It’s extremely frustrating for me that this isn’t possible.

I would like to ask you once again to implement this feature in HikaSerial. I upgraded my subscription yesterday – please see this as a financial incentive to ensure this feature is added.

I would appreciate a response. Thank you.

Hello,

HikaSerial 6.1.0 introduced new triggers : "onCustomAttachSerialRule" and "onDisplayCustomAttachSerialOptions".

The first trigger allows to add a new custom rule and be able to not attach the serial in an email.
The second one allows the creation of new settings which will be displayed in the plugin config page (the HikaSerial one).

Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, I’m not yet sure how to use these two functions. Where can I find some documentation, and what do I need to do?

Could you help me with this or provide an example?

Hello,

After my last message, I started to work on an update of the developer documentation page.
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/1...ncustompdfserialrule

You will find the function definition with the parameters.
Full examples are not yet available for all the existing triggers but it should help you for the start.

Regarding the second trigger, the idea of the trigger (like the other "additional settings"), is to let the plugin display (echo) its HTML content.
The first parameter gives the needed information regarding the "name" of the input.
To understand how you can integrate, best is to take a look at the view itself (where the trigger is called), directly within the plugin folder.

But for your case, you might not need the second trigger ; just the first one could be suffisent if you want to apply the behavior on every orders depending on the shipping method.
The "$params" variable contains the HikaShop order object (directly provided by HikaShop) ; and you should be able to read the information you need to determine if you want to refuse the inclusion of the serial in the email (using the "$do" variable).

Hello Jerome. I really don’t know what to make of the documentation. Where should I look? Which files do I need to check? What do I need to change? I’d like the serial numbers to be sent only when the delivery method is ‘Email’.

I’m afraid I’m a bit overwhelmed by your information and don’t know what to do.

Hello,

You don't have to modify anything in HikaSerial. There is a need of building something.

As previously explained ; you want a custom feature which need to be provide by a custom plugin.
It means it requires some development to create that plugin.
Custom development and software support are different ; so we can't provide you that custom plugin, but we can provide developer documentation to help you (and IA tools) to understand how to integrate with HikaSerial.

The triggers "onCustomPdfSerialRule" / "onCustomAttachSerialRule" are the triggers you need (depending if you're using PDF Serials or Attach Serials).

For more details regarding the custom plugin creation, there is also a HikaShop documentation page : www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...r-documentation.html
