FEATURE REQUEST: Message Template Expressions

We need the ability to have expressions as part of the message template engine (useful for pluralization or conditional message parts). For example:

You have %FriendRequestCount% new friend %(FrienedRequestCount > 1 ? "requests" : "request")% at %Store.Name%

You have %FriendBirthdayCount% %(FriendBirthdayCount > 1 ? "friends" : "friend")% with %(FriendBirthdayCount > 1 ? "birthdays" : "a birthday")% this week

We found %SuggestedProductCount% %(SuggestedProductCount > 1 ? "products" : "product")% for you at %Store.Name%

Thanks!

Thanks. I voted for it and will follow it.

Hi,

I just created a Plugin for nopCommerce 3.40 which adds full Razor support to all Default Message Templates.
Get it for free at https://github.com/BeniGemperle/nopCommerce-RazorMessageService.

Thanks Benjamin. What is the Model? Is it different for every message template? Or, does it just contain the tokens as properties? Furthermore, what about custom templates (e.g. mobSocial's FriendRequestNotification message template)?

Bruce, please see the documentation at https://github.com/BeniGemperle/nopCommerce-RazorMessageService.

Feel free to create a Fork with your implementation of custom templates.

Benjamin

Any update on this for 3.60 and 3.70?

We have added the ability to use conditional expressions in message templates. To do this, use the token

%if (your conditions) ... endif%

.
For example, use conditional statement

%if (%Order.Shippable%) Shipping Method: %Order.ShippingMethod% endif%

for display shipping information only for shippable orders.

Great feature
