some reference `In my install script I have:

8:45 AM use \Joomla\CMS\Mail\MailTemplate;

8:45 AM /**

• Create a new Mail Template */ public function addMailTemplate($templateid, $tags) { $result = MailTemplate::createTemplate( 'com'.$this->compName.'.'.$templateid, 'COM'.STRTOUPPER($this->compName).'EMAILTMPL'.STRTOUPPER($template_id).'SUBJECT', 'COM'.STRTOUPPER($this->compName).'EMAILTMPL'.STRTOUPPER($template_id).'BODY', $tags, 'COM'.STRTOUPPER($this->compName).'EMAILTMPL'.STRTOUPPER($template_id).'_HTMLBODY' );

  Factory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage('Email Template Record Created . . . '.$template_id);

} /**

• @param string $template_id mandatory (full template_id ie com_mycomponent.tripnew)
• @param object $item mandatory - containing all relevant info
• @param string $link optional

  // load all the data elements as set in the template setup $data = array(); $data['sitename'] = $app->get('sitename'); if ($link) { $mode = $app->get('force_ssl', 0) == 2 ? 1 : (-1); $data['linktext'] = Route::($link, false, $mode); } $data['coord_name'] = (isset($item->coord_name) && $item->coord_name > '') ? $item->coord_name : ''; $data['trip_title'] = $item->trip_details->title; $data['dept_date'] = $item->dept_date_disp; $data['leader_name'] = $item->leader_name; $data['booking_status'] = (isset($item->booking_status) && $item->booking_status > '') ? $item->booking_status : '';

  foreach ($item->members as $recip) { if (isset($item->att_name) && $item->att_name > '') { $data['member_name'] = $item->att_name; $name = isset($recip->full_name) ? $recip->full_name : $recip->name; } else { $name = isset($recip->full_name) ? $recip->full_name : $recip->name; $data['member_name'] = $name; }

  // Build the email and send
  $mailer = new MailTemplate($template_id, $app->getLanguage()->getTag());
  $mailer->addTemplateData($data);
  $mailer->setReplyTo($mailfrom, $data['sitename']);
  $mailer->addRecipient($recip->email, $name);
  
  if ($attachfile) {
      $mailer->addAttachment($filename, $attachfile);
  }
  
  // Try to send the email.
  try {
      $return = $mailer->send();
  } catch (\Exception $exception) {
      $app->enqueueMessage(Text::_($exception->getMessage()), 'warning');
      $return = false;
  }

  }

  if ($return) { $app->enqueueMessage(Text::_('COM_MYCOMPONENT_MAIL_SEND_SUCCESSFUL'), 'success'); }

  return $return; }` Maybe we can do

• [ ] Add email template selector in category option
• [ ] Add system to add new template (an sql request to add new template)
• [ ] Checl field remplacement (maybe only compatible with flexi_pro ?
