Changing the subject line in order emails

[MaryKH]

I would like to have the order number included in the subject line of the order emails, along with the "order process", can anybody point me in the right direction to do this?

Hi Mary,

 

You're looking for the file catalog/checkout_process.php

 

Find the following towards the end of the file:

  if (is_object($$payment)) {
   $email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD . "\n" . 
                   EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";
   $payment_class = $$payment;
   $email_order .= $payment_class->title . "\n\n";
   if ($payment_class->email_footer) { 
     $email_order .= $payment_class->email_footer . "\n\n";
   }
 }
 tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

 

Change the code for the following:

 

  if (is_object($$payment)) {
   $email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD . "\n" . 
                   EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";
   $payment_class = $$payment;
   $email_order .= $payment_class->title . "\n\n";
   if ($payment_class->email_footer) { 
     $email_order .= $payment_class->email_footer . "\n\n";
   }
 }

$email_subject = EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT . ' ' . $insert_id;

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

 

Then go to your catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php file and change the following line :

 

define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Order Process');

 

to something like :

 

define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Processing Order Number');

 

Hope this helps

Hello Mary,

 

Here is a link to a thread that will help you accomplish what you are trying to do.

Jared Call is responsible for this contribution and it was quite easy to make the changes. This link will also tell you how to put the order number in the update emails.
