Here I have request to include not only the current event information, but also a list of further upcoming events (from the same category in that case) in a reminder.
What would be the best way to achieve this?
One idea I have in mind would be to:
- add a signal that is evaluated in event.reminders.util:make_reminder_email
- create a plugin that then handles the the querying
To make this customizable per event/reminder, it should probably work via place-holders in the reminder note text.
Is this a reasonable plan and would the signal be accepted upstream?
Sounds like something best done when implementing full customization for reminder emails, like we already do for other emails - i.e. placeholders and editable text instead of just the option to add some extra text to an otherwise-fixed message.
The signal doesn’t sound particularly useful without placeholders/customizable emails - and when these things are available, the existing get_placeholders signal can be used to define new placeholders for this email from a plugin.
Yes, that seems reasonable.
So porting something along events.abstracts.notifications to reminders would be the best way forward?
