Get custom email placeholder value on Woocommerce

Question

I've created my own email class in WooCommerce. Because I need a custom parameter in my email content, I've added a placeholder with this custom parameter to the wc email trigger function:

public function trigger( $order_id, $firstname, $lastname, $order = false ) {
        $this->setup_locale();

        if ( $order_id && ! is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) {
            $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
        }

        if ( is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) {
            $this->object                                = $order;
            $this->recipient                             = $this->object->get_billing_email();
            $this->placeholders['{order_date}']          = wc_format_datetime( $this->object->get_date_created() );
            $this->placeholders['{order_number}']        = $this->object->get_order_number();
            $this->placeholders['{full_name}'] = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname;
        }

        if ( $this->is_enabled() && $this->get_recipient() ) {
            $this->send( $this->get_recipient(), $this->get_subject(), $this->get_content(), $this->get_headers(), $this->get_attachments() );
        }

    $this->restore_locale();
}

After his I've did this in the content PHP file:

<?php printf( __( get_option( 'wc_custom_email_info' ) ), '{full_name}' ); ?>

In the option I've wrote %s so that I can add the full name into to content. But sadly I'm getting the name of the placeholder and not the content:

Blaaaaaaa {full_name} blaaaa

But I need this here:

Blaaaaaaa Joe Martin blaaaa

Update

The name here is not the customer name from the order. This is a name which I pass through a do_action which I trigger from a button. So when someone on my page clicks this button, I'm fetching his user id and get the name from the user who clicked the button. This is the custom email trigger I use:

$user      = get_userdata( get_current_user_id() );
$firstname = $user->user_firstname;
$lastname  = $user->last_name;

//Trigger email sending
do_action( 'trigger_email', $order_id, $firstname, $lastname );

Then I do this in the email class:

//Trigger for this email.
add_action( 'trigger_email', array( $this, 'trigger' ), 10, 10 );

After this you can go back to the top trigger function.

Placeholders in email are only for the email subject in Woocommerce

So what you are trying to do can't work this way.

Instead you will need to make a little change in your trigger() function and adding another method in your class:

/**
 * Trigger the sending of this email.
*/
public function trigger( $order_id, $firstname, $lastname, $order = false ) {
    $this->setup_locale();

    if ( $order_id && ! is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) {
        $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
    }

    if ( is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) {
        $this->object                                = $order;
        $this->recipient                             = $this->object->get_billing_email();
        $this->placeholders['{order_date}']          = wc_format_datetime( $this->object->get_date_created() );
        $this->placeholders['{order_number}']        = $this->object->get_order_number();
        $this->formatted_name                        = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname;
    }

    if ( $this->is_enabled() && $this->get_recipient() ) {
        $this->send( $this->get_recipient(), $this->get_subject(), $this->get_content(), $this->get_headers(), $this->get_attachments() );
    }

    $this->restore_locale();
}

/**
 * Get email content.
 *
 * @return string
 */
public function get_content() {
    $this->sending = true;

    if ( 'plain' === $this->get_email_type() ) {
        $email_content = preg_replace( $this->plain_search, $this->plain_replace, strip_tags( $this->get_content_plain() ) );
    } else {
        $email_content = str_replace( '{full_name}', $this->formatted_name, $this->get_content_html() );
    }

    return wordwrap( $email_content, 70 );
}

This time your placeholder should be replaced with your dynamic $firstname . ' ' . $lastname; when using in your template (content):

<?php printf( get_option( 'wc_custom_email_info' ), '{full_name}' ); ?>

Original answer

Try the following instead that use WC_Order method get_formatted_billing_full_name():

public function trigger( $order_id, $firstname, $lastname, $order = false ) {
    $this->setup_locale();

    if ( $order_id && ! is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) {
        $order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
    }

    if ( is_a( $order, 'WC_Order' ) ) {
        $this->object                                = $order;
        $this->recipient                             = $this->object->get_billing_email();
        $this->placeholders['{order_date}']          = wc_format_datetime( $this->object->get_date_created() );
        $this->placeholders['{order_number}']        = $this->object->get_order_number();
        $this->placeholders['{full_name}']           = $this->object->get_formatted_billing_full_name();
    }

    if ( $this->is_enabled() && $this->get_recipient() ) {
        $this->send( $this->get_recipient(), $this->get_subject(), $this->get_content(), $this->get_headers(), $this->get_attachments() );
    }

    $this->restore_locale();
}

It should works. Before on your code $firstname and $lastname were not defined;
