Enforce mandrill template defaults for Name, Address and Subject

Problem/Motivation

In the Mandrill template editor (https://mandrillapp.com/templates/code?id=) you can set Template defaults for From Name, From Address and Subject. These will be used when Mandrill does not receive a from name, address and subject. However in Drupal the message always contains these values.

In some cases our client has access to the Mandrill app and wants to manually override these settings per e-mail template. This is currently not possible.

Steps to reproduce

Set the default template values. Trigger a e-mail for that given template. Note that these values will always be overridden by whatever Drupal uses for that e-mail type.

Proposed resolution

Create a configuration option "enforce_template_defaults" on the mandrill_template_map ConfigEntity. This will a boolean. By default set to FALSE. When this is set to TRUE it will remove the values for from_email, from_name, subject before sending the data to Mandrill in MandrillTemplateService.

<?php

        // If Mandrill template defaults are enforced we unset our values.
        if (isset($template_map->enforce_template_defaults) && $template_map->enforce_template_defaults) {
          unset($message['from_email']);
          unset($message['from_name']);
          unset($message['headers']['Sender']);
          unset($message['headers']['From']);
          unset($message['subject']);
        }

        $response = $this->mandrill_api->sendTemplate($message, $template_map->template_id, $template_content);
?>

Remaining tasks

  • Write update hook to update existing configuration entities.
  • Add test coverage.

User interface changes

There is a new configuration option in the Mandrill Template Map form.

API changes

Data model changes

New schema enforce_template_defaults of type boolean in the MandrillTemplateMap entity.
