Adding Delivery Date to order confirmation email

[Guest]

I recently installed the Delivery Date for Florists etc Contribution and it all works.

 

When customer picks a delivery date this is given to the store owner in their admin area.

 

However, I'd like this delivery date to appear in the order confirmation email that the customer recieves. Is it possible to pull this information in? If so, where abouts in the code of what page do I make an amendment and what do i add?

 

Thanks!

I assume it gets generated in checkout_success.php - what code would i put to pull a field into the body of the email. It's a nice little extra to have as there's no reference for customer over what date they ordered once they've checked out.

Let's try again...

 

I didn't use the contribution but I have added fields for delivery date, time and instructions. My field name, deliverydate, may be different from the one you are using. The file you need to change is catalog/checkout_process.php. After:

 

if ($order->content_type != 'virtual') {

$email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_ADDRESS . "\n" .

EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .

tep_address_label($customer_id, $sendto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n";

}

 

I added:

 

if ($order->info['deliverydate'])

{

$email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_DATE . "\n" .

EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .

tep_db_output($order->info['deliverydate']) . "\n";

}

 

Although I'm not sure if this is necessary, at the end of the file (approx. line 313) I added:

 

tep_session_unregister('deliverydate');

 

After:

 

$customer_notification = (SEND_EMAILS == 'true') ? '1' : '0';

$sql_data_array = array('orders_id' => $insert_id,

'orders_status_id' => $order->info['order_status'],

'date_added' => 'now()',

'customer_notified' => $customer_notification;

I changed the ; after $customer_notification to a , and added the following line:

 

'deliverydate' => $order->info['deliverydate'];

 

You also need to define EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_ADDRESS in catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php.

 

 

 

Good luck!
