Edit Email sent to customer after they order

[Guest]

HI

 

 

Q NUMBER 1

I would like to change the setup of the email that is automatically sent to the customer after they complete the order process. I have been playing around but after thinking I had done it, it didnt work.

 

I want to include a short paragraph at the top thanking them for their order etc.

 

Please find below what the code looks like.

define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Thank you for your order from ' . STORE_NAME);
define('EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER', 'Order Number:');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL', 'Detailed Invoice:');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED', 'Date Ordered:');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS', 'Products');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBTOTAL', 'Sub-Total:');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_TAX', 'Tax:        ');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_SHIPPING', 'Shipping: ');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_TOTAL', 'Total:    ');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_ADDRESS', 'Delivery Address');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_BILLING_ADDRESS', 'Billing Address');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD', 'Payment Method');

define('EMAIL_SEPARATOR', '------------------------------------------------------');
define('TEXT_EMAIL_VIA', 'via');
?>

 

 

If I want to add in the paragraph of text what do I need to do?? i.e. define('EMAIL_TEXT...........

Add whatever text you like on the line you found:

define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Thank you for your order from ' . STORE_NAME);

 

i.e. define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Thank you for your order from ' . STORE_NAME . 'We really appreciate your business, and are glad you chose us. Please tell all your friends, and let us know if you have any questions... blah, blah, blah...');

Thanks for your advice, I havnt tried it yet but are you sure it will work? Its just that define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Thank you for your order from ' . sets the subject line of the email. Surly if I type in there it will just make an extra large subject bar in the email.

 

I will give it a go, but can you thin of anything else. For example define('EMAIL_TEXT_BODY', 'Thank you buying from Electra sales.............Bhaa bhaa.

 

 

Thanks

Thanks for your advice,  I havnt tried it yet but are you sure it will work?  Its just that define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Thank you for your order from ' .  sets the subject line of the email.  Surly if I type in there it will just make an extra large subject bar in the email.

 

Sorry, looks like I pasted the wrong line. I missed the "subject" part. I think you're looking at the wrong checkout_process file. Look under \catalog\includes\checkout_process.php. Around line 249 you'll see the Email confirmation:

 

//lets start with the email confirmation

$email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" .

EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .

etc.....

 

I would insert your message in there, at whatever point it feels appropriate:

 

//lets start with the email confirmation

$email_order = "'Thank you for your order from ' . STORE_NAME .

'We really appreciate your business, and are glad you chose us. Please tell all your friends, and let us know if you have any questions... blah, blah, blah... \n" .

EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .

etc.....

 

I haven't tried that yet though...
