A Magento 2 module that changes the admin front name periodically via cron and sends emails to admins the new backend url.
composer require alaa/magento2-dynamic-front-namephp bin/magento module:enable Alaa_DynamicFrontNamephp bin/magento setup:upgrade
- Configuration from the admin panel Admin > Stores > Configuration > Dynamic Front Name.
- Enable set to yes by default.
- Sender Email can be configured by adding the sender email, if left empty then the email from the first admin will be used as the sender.
- Front Name Length, sets the length of the string of the front name, 8 characters are default.
- Cron Expression, how often the front name will be changed. The default is once a week every Sunday.
- The front name is generated using Magento core functions to generate random strings.
php n98-magerun2.phar sys:cron:run backend_front_name_generate
The sending emails is triggered via area code emulation. If Sample Data is installed, then the following plugin from Magento_CustomerSampleData module needs to be disabled because it prevents sending emails via area code emulation.
This module is not responsible for disabling the plugin, so you need to add the following to a di.xml file in a module with that responsibility.
<type name="Magento\Framework\Mail\TransportInterface">
<plugin name="customer-sample-data-disable-registration-email-send" disabled="true"/>
</type>
Also make sure your module depends on Magento_CustomerSampleData and configure in the module.xml file.
<sequence>
<module name="Magento_CustomerSampleData" />
</sequence>
Note: Please make sure you don't send emails to customers when disabling this plugin, this plugin was put for a reason which is to prevent customers from getting emails in a test environment. You can do this by removing magento cron entry in the crontab and instead run specific crons using the magerun2 tool.
