Where to change automatically created campaign names?

[MCM]

Hi guys, when a campaign name is automatically created (for example when a new email is created after a sending of postponed one), it creates the name + "_#62", "_#63" and so on.

I would need to change the format, mainly get rid of space and # - where can I do it?



Thank you a lot!

You should be able to connect to the copy_campaign action hook, from apps/init-custom.php

<?php
  
hooks()->addAction('copy_campaign', function(CAttributeCollection $collection){
    /** @var Campaign $campaign **/
    $campaign = $collection->itemAt('copied');
  
    $prefix = '#';

    if (preg_match('/'.$prefix.'(\d+)$/', $campaign->name, $matches)) {
        $counter = (int)$matches[1];
        $counter++;
        $campaign->name = (string)preg_replace('/'.$prefix.'(\d+)$/', $prefix . $counter, $campaign->name);
    } else {
        $campaign->name .= ' ' . $prefix . '1';
    }
  
    $campaign->save(false);
});

You might need to adjust the code here and there...

Thank you, you are the best!

1. The first code you shared (below) was better, this one adds new prefixes next to it again and again

<?php
 

hooks()->addAction('copy_campaign', function(CAttributeCollection $collection){
    /** @var Campaign $campaign **/
    $campaign = $collection->itemAt('copied');
 
    $prefix = '#';

    if (preg_match('/#(\d+)$/', $campaign->name, $matches)) {
        $counter = (int)$matches[1];
        $counter++;
        $campaign->name = (string)preg_replace('/#(\d+)$/', $prefix . $counter, $campaign->name);
    } else {
        $campaign->name .= ' ' . $prefix . '1';
    }

    $campaign->save(false);

});

2. The second one adds 2 to prefix, so #2, #4,#6

<?php

hooks()->addAction('copy_campaign', function(CAttributeCollection $collection){
    /** @var Campaign $campaign **/
    $campaign = $collection->itemAt('copied');
 
    $prefix = '#';

    if (preg_match('/'.$prefix.'(\d+)$/', $campaign->name, $matches)) {
        $counter = (int)$matches[1];
        $counter++;
        $campaign->name = (string)preg_replace('/'.$prefix.'(\d+)$/', $prefix . $counter, $campaign->name);
    } else {
        $campaign->name .= ' ' . $prefix . '1';
    } 

    $campaign->save(false);

});

3. How to get rid of the space before the prefix?

Thank you!

3. How to get rid of the space before the prefix?

After the if/else, before $campaign->save(false); you can add this to remove space.

$campaign->name = str_replace(' ', '', $campaign->name);

Yeah, I did say it requires some tweaking here and there, yesterday I was in a hurry when I wrote the code, sorry, but here's the correct one for what you need:

<?php

hooks()->addAction('copy_campaign', function(CAttributeCollection $collection){
    /** @var Campaign $campaign **/
    $campaign = $collection->itemAt('copied');
 
    if (preg_match('/#(\d+)$/', $campaign->name, $matches)) {
        $counter = (int)$matches[1];
        $campaign->name = (string)preg_replace('/#(\d+)$/', $counter, $campaign->name);
    }
    
    // remove double white space
    $campaign->name = str_replace('  ', ' ', $campaign->name);

    $campaign->save(false);

});

Sorry, it still doesn't work, it adds {space}1, but after another copy, it adds an additional {space}1, and so on...

So there is still {space}, and it doesn't increment the number

 

[twisted1919]

I see what you mean, here, take this

hooks()->addAction('copy_campaign', function(CAttributeCollection $collection){

    /** @var Campaign $initialCampaign **/
    $initialCampaign = $collection->itemAt('campaign');
    
    /** @var Campaign $newCampaign **/
    $newCampaign = $collection->itemAt('copied');
    
    $newCampaign->name = $initialCampaign->name;
    
    if (preg_match('/(#)?(\d+)$/', $newCampaign->name, $matches)) {
        $counter = (int)$matches[2] + 1;
        $newCampaign->name = (string)preg_replace('/(#)?(\d+)$/', $counter, $newCampaign->name);
    } else {
        $newCampaign->name .= ' 1';
    }

    // remove double white space
    $newCampaign->name = str_replace('  ', ' ', $newCampaign->name);

    $newCampaign->save(false);

});

Still it doesn't do it :-(

1. Initial copy adds nothing and all the next copies nothing as well
2. Second copy (from already saved copy from a few days ago) it adds {space} + incremented number

Sorry to bother you, I understand if you do not want to do it again...

EDIT: At least it increments the number at the end without the space, it is enough for me, thank you!!!
