Order confirmation email

[Lisa Dee]

I have seen similar postings, but there has been no resolution to specifically what I am looking for.

 

The "order confirmation email" that the shop owner receives functions well. However, we would like in addition to the billing address of the customer, the telephone number and e-mail address added to the order confirmation. I tried editing the checkout_process.php file, but with no success. Can this file be modified in this manner? Or does the modification have to occur in another file first?

Hi,

 

Sending the email is done by the tep_mail() function, which is:

 

Defined at:

 

* /admin/includes/functions/general.php -> line 1069

* /includes/functions/general.php -> line 959

 

The parametsr that are passed to the function are defined as follows:

 

949  // Parameters:
950  // $to_name           The name of the recipient, e.g. "Jan Wildeboer"
951  // $to_email_address  The eMail address of the recipient,
952  //                    e.g. [email protected]
953  // $email_subject     The subject of the eMail
954  // $email_text        The text of the eMail, may contain HTML entities
955  // $from_email_name   The name of the sender, e.g. Shop Administration
956  // $from_email_adress The eMail address of the sender,
957  //                    e.g. [email protected]
958  
959    function tep_mail($to_name, $to_email_address, $email_subject, $email_text, $from_email_name, $from_email_address) {

 

so it is the 4th parametsr that you want to modify, if you want to send additional information.

 

/catalog/checkout_process.php - line 258

 

   tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

 

is where tep_mail() is called, therefore simply modify the variable $email_order prior to calling the function. For example, you want telephone number, so lets say this is called EMAIL_TELE_NO, the line to add it would be:

 

$email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TELE_NO . "\n";

 

It's that easy. :D
