vb.org Archive - Email on subscribe - fetch

Hi,

I'm trying to send an email when a member purchases a subscription. I have created a plugin for the paidsub_build hook:

Code:

$message = fetch_template('subscription_email_onjoin_'.$subscriptionid);

vbmail($user[email], "Thank you for your subscription!", $message, true);

I also tried:

Code:

eval('$emailmsg = "' . fetch_template('subscription_email_onjoin_'.$subscriptionid) . '";');

vbmail($user[email], "Thank you for your subscription!", $emailmsg, true);

Having done extensive testing, I have narrowed the problem down to the fetch_template consistently returning a blank string. The template "subscription_email_onjoin_1" exists, and $subscriptionid definitely is returning "1". I have also tried using the cache_templates hook and writing a plugin with

Code:

$globaltemplates[]='subscription_email_onjoin_1'

, no luck.

I have spent several hours googling for all variations of previously posted help on fetch_template, but no luck.

TIA for any help anyone can provide!

I've also tried using phrases (created them, linked them to the product with the dropdown that appears when you create the phrase) with no luck either.

$message = fetch_phrase('subscription_email_onjoin_'.$subscri ptionid, 1, '', false);
vbmail($user[email], "Thank you for your subscription!", $message, true);

For the life of me I cannot work out what the first two variables for fetch_phrase is meant to be. I have looked at everything!

* @param string Varname of the phrase to be fetched
* @param integer Phrase Type ID of the phrase to be fetched

There is no more documentation on what "Phrase Type ID of the phrase to be fetched" means that I can find. It's not the product id, it's nothing I can see on the phrase edit page itself either... help!
