README

In your Mautic insert into an email template this shortcode around some name [some name|vocative]

• for example [Karel|vocative]
• or better example [{leadfield=firstname}|vocative]
  hint: use CTRL+SHIFT+V to insert copied text without formatting, also check source code of your email template by button for unwanted formatting
• also foreign and non-human names are converted to czech form [Cassandra|vocative] = Cassandro , [android|vocative] = Androide
• you can use it even in Subject of your email (unlike other shortcodes).
• always test your email before sending it to real people

Aliases

You can also set aliases to be used (and vocalized) instead of the name.

• [{leadfield=firstname}|vocative(sirius,andromeda,fill your name plase!)] leading into
  • if firstname is male, let's say Roman, the result is Siriusi
  • if firstname is female, for example Gloria, the result is Andromedo
  • if firstname is empty, or from white characters only respectively, the result is Fill your name please!
• if you omit one of gender-dependent alias, the original name is used
  • [richard|vocative(,For gentlemen only!)] = Richarde
  • [monika|vocative(,For gentlemen only!)] = For gentlemen only! (because of the trailing non-character the string is untouched)
  • [ |vocative(Karel,Monika)] = ``
  • [ |vocative(Karel,Monika,Batman)] = Batmane

Dynamic Web Content support

Thanks to Zdeno Kuzmany the Dynamic Web Content is also supported and processed by vocative.

Install

1. Let it install by composer require granam/mautic-czech-vocative-bundle
2. Clear Mautic cache by ./app/console cache:clear or just delete the app/cache dir.
   • note: In some cases, not yet fully understood, the cache is not rebuilt fully automatically. In case of fatal error because of expected but missing file in the cache, rebuilt it manually:
     • ./app/console cache:warmup --no-optional-warmers
3. Log in to your Mautic as an admin, open cogwheel menu in the right top corner and choose Plugins
4. Click Install/Upgrade Plugins

If everything goes well, you got new plugin GranamVocative.

Compatibility

Mautic v4.*

• virtually tested with Mautic 4.* up to 4.4

Unknown, but possible compatibility with lower versions.

Troubleshooting

If any error happens, first of all, have you cleared the cache?

Otherwise, check the logs for what happened:

1. they are placed in app/logs dir in your Mautic, like /var/www/mautic/app/logs/mautic_prod-2016-02-19.php
2. or, if they are more fatal or just Mautic does not catch them (error 500), see your web-server logs, like /var/log/apache2/error.log
