send mail with attached file

in magento there is no available methods for attach file. once we do it in magento by adding a following code
in mage/core/model/email/template.php at the end of file.

public function addAttachment(Zend_Pdf $pdf){
        $file = $pdf->render();
        $attachment = $this->getMail()->createAttachment($file);
        $attachment->type = 'application/pdf';
    $attachment->filename = 'yourfile.pdf';
    }

but i prefer to use Zend_Mail to send mail with attached file.
for this u need to do following.

try{
            $mail = new Zend_Mail();
            $mail->setFrom("fromemail","fromname");
            $mail->addTo("toemail","toname");
            $mail->setSubject("subject");
            $mail->setBodyHtml(" body text"); // here u also use setBodyText options.

            // this is for to set the file format
  $content = file_get_contents("$file_path");
            $at = new Zend_Mime_Part($content);

            $at->type        = 'application/csv'; // if u have PDF then it would like -> 'application/pdf'
            $at->disposition = Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_INLINE;
            $at->encoding    = Zend_Mime::ENCODING_8BIT;
            $at->filename    = $filename;
            $mail->addAttachment($at);
            $mail->send();

        }catch(Exception $e)
        {
            echo $e->getMassage();

        }

and this is ready.. just go for it.

Magento payment option

In your config.xml from app>code>your_codepol>Namespace>module>etc>config.xml

<frontend>
    <events>
        <payment_method_is_active>
            <observers>
                <paymentfilter_payment_method_is_active>
                    <type>singleton</type>
                    <class>YOUR_CLASS_observer</class>
                    <method>paymentMethodIsActive</method>
                </paymentfilter_payment_method_is_active>
            </observers>
        </payment_method_is_active>
    </events>
</frontend>

and create your observer and write this code in your observer.php

public function paymentMethodIsActive(Varien_Event_Observer $observer) {
    $event           = $observer->getEvent();
    $method          = $event->getMethodInstance();
    $result          = $event->getResult(); 
$quote  = $observer->getEvent()->getQuote();
$shippingMethod = $quote->getShippingAddress()->getShippingMethod();
   if($shippingMethod=="Free International Shipping"){
        if($method->getCode() == 'cashondelivery' ){ // to hide this method
            $result->isAvailable = false; // false means payment method is disable
        }
}

}
Where cashondelivery is payment method name. You can write any payment name like

ccsave(Credit Card (saved))
checkmo(Check / Money order)
purchaseorder(Purchase Order)
banktransfer(Bank Transfer Payment)
cashondelivery(Cash On Delivery) etc..

Let me know if you have any query
----------------------------------------------------

class Inchoo_Vendor_Model_Activpayment
{
 
 
 public function getActivPaymentMethods()
 {
    $payments = Mage::getSingleton('payment/config')->getActiveMethods();
 
    $methods = array(array('value'=>'', 'label'=>Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('--Please Select--')));
 
    foreach ($payments as $paymentCode=>$paymentModel) {
            $paymentTitle = Mage::getStoreConfig('payment/'.$paymentCode.'/title');
            $methods[$paymentCode] = array(
                'label'   => $paymentTitle,
                'value' => $paymentCode,
            );
        }
 
        return $methods;
 
 } 
 
}

Magento Observer Event on Order Place not firing

What is the correct way to set up an observer in Magento?

How do you allow the payment option to be preselected if products are free?

Go to the following file and edit it as appropriate
app\design\frontend\videocard\default\template\checkout\onepage\payment

<dl id="checkout-payment-method-load">
<?php
    $methods = $this->getMethods();
    $oneMethod = count($methods) <= 1;
?>
<?php
    $nopay = false;
    foreach ($methods as $_method):
        $_code = $_method->getCode();
        if($_code == 'free') {
            $nopay = true;
        }
    endforeach;
?>
<?php

    foreach ($methods as $_method):
        $_code = $_method->getCode();
?>
    <dt>
    <?php if ($nopay == false) : ?>
        <?php if(!$oneMethod): ?>
            <input id="p_method_<?php echo $_code ?>" value="<?php echo $_code ?>" type="radio" name="payment[method]" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_method->getTitle()) ?>" onclick="payment.switchMethod('<?php echo $_code ?>')"<?php if($this->getSelectedMethodCode()==$_code): ?> checked="checked"<?php endif; ?> />
        <?php else: ?>
            <span><input id="p_method_<?php echo $_code ?>" value="<?php echo $_code ?>" type="radio" name="payment[method]" checked="checked" /></span>
            <?php $oneMethod = $_code; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
            <label for="p_method_<?php echo $_code ?>"><?php echo $this->getMethodTitle($_method) ?> <?php echo $this->getMethodLabelAfterHtml($_method) ?></label>
        </dt>
        <?php if ($html = $this->getPaymentMethodFormHtml($_method)): ?>
        <dd>
            <?php echo $html; ?>
        </dd>
        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php else : ?>
        <?php if($_code == 'free') : ?>
            <span><input id="p_method_<?php echo $_code ?>" value="<?php echo $_code ?>" type="radio" name="payment[method]" checked="checked" /></span>
            <?php $oneMethod = $_code; ?>
            <label for="p_method_<?php echo $_code ?>"><?php echo $this->getMethodTitle($_method) ?> <?php echo $this->getMethodLabelAfterHtml($_method) ?></label>
        </dt>
        <?php if ($html = $this->getPaymentMethodFormHtml($_method)): ?>
        <dd>
            <?php echo $html; ?>
        </dd>
            <?php endif; ?>
        <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</dl>
<?php echo $this->getChildChildHtml('additional'); ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
<?php echo $this->getChildChildHtml('scripts'); ?>
payment.init();
<?php if (is_string($oneMethod)): ?>
    payment.switchMethod('<?php echo $oneMethod ?>');
<?php endif; ?>
//]]>
</script>
