Stuck with hook_civicrm_tokenValues()
April 25, 2016, 08:45:22 am
I'm trying to use hook_civicrm_tokenValues() with CiviMail on Drupal 7.

Within the hook, $max_amount is obtained from a database call, and I have the following code.
 
Code: [Select]
$x = 75.00;
var_dump($x);
$y = (double) $max_amount;
var_dump($y);
The output of this is: float(75) float(75), which is what I would expect. In other words, both $x and $y appear to be identical.

When I use $values[$cid]['myCustomToken.test'] = $x , the value 75 is passed as expected.

But when I use $values[$cid]['myCustomToken.test'] = $y, the value 0 is passed to the token?!

Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

So I'm still stuck on this issue .. and its pretty perplexing. It seems its not an issue particular to the $max_amount variable, as I'm seeing the same problem with another variable now. The strange thing is, that most values are getting passed through to CiviMail OK, its just one or two that aren't.

I decided to dump some output into a file, and have learned that hook_civicrm_tokenValues() is used four times, when sending a test email, with the following values in $context:

CRM_Mailing_Form_Test
CRM_Mailing_BAO_MailingJob
CRM_Mailing_Form_Test
CRM_Mailing_Page_Preview

In three of these contexts all the values are correct, but in the MailingJob context, the values are wrong. In other words, when I expand 'Preview Mailing' in the CiviMail wizard, the mail content is correct, but the actual mail that I receive is not.

.. so I guess I need to investigate CRM_Mailing_BAO_MailingJob.

Any advice or tips would be appreciated!!

By the way, I'm using CiviCRM 4.5.2

OK .. another update if anybody is reading. I've just discovered that the issue only occurs with test mails. When I send the mail to scheduled jobs, it sends just fine. So I guess that's the issue closed for me, and I can get back on with my life :)

Hope my little monologue might be useful to someone else in the future!
