woocommerce conditional email template if product type in order - wordpress

Question

I try to send a customized email template when a customer has a ticket (custom product type) in cart.
I have the following:
function bc_customer_completed_order_template($template, $template_name, $template_path)
{
foreach ( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item_key => $cart_item ) {
$product = wc_get_product( $cart_item['product_id'] );
$type = get_class($product);
if ( $type == 'WC_Product_Tickets' && 'customer-completed-order.php' === basename($template) ) {
$template = trailingslashit(plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ )) . 'templates/customer-completed-order.php';
}
}
return $template;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_locate_template', 'bc_customer_completed_order_template', 10, 3);
The conditionals are working (on cart and checkout page for example), but when the order is placed, the new template is not used.
Anybody?

Answer 1

Your email template will look like this:
Code snippets:
// Suppose orders don't have ticket products.
$has_tickets = false;
// Loop order items.
foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item_id => $item ) {
// Get product object from order item.
$_product = $item->get_product();
// Check if the product object is valid and the class is `WC_Product_Tickets`
if ( $_product && 'WC_Product_Tickets' === get_class( $_product ) ) {
// Change the flag.
$has_tickets = true;
// Break the loop as we alreay have true flag.
break;
}
}
// Check if order have tickets items.
if ( $has_tickets ) {
// Load custom email template.
wc_get_template( 'templates/custom-customer-completed-order.php' );
// Return as we don't need the below code.
return;
}

It turned out, although the above solution is correct in its idea, in reality one cannot load a template and make use of the $order without extending the woocommerce email class.
Therefore i loaded the function inside the email template itself and made an if - else statement so for situation A the layout is different then for situation b.
Like so:
$has_tickets = false;
// Loop order items.
foreach ( $order->get_items() as $item_id => $item ) {
// Get product object from order item.
$_product = $item->get_product();
// Check if the product object is valid and the class is `WC_Product_Tickets`
if ( $_product && 'WC_Product_Tickets' === get_class( $_product ) ) {
// Change the flag.
$has_tickets = true;
// Break the loop as we alreay have true flag.
break;
}
}
// Check if order have tickets items.
if ( $has_tickets ) {
do_action( 'woocommerce_email_header', $email_heading, $email ); ?>
//custom email layout here//
}
else{
//Regular email template here
}
