Issue username and passwords to customers??

[millygirl]

I would like to know if Oscommerce can be setup so that once a customer buys something can they receive an autoresponded email which would include a website link along with the username and password? I don't sell downloadable products but rather tutorials. is this possible?

A static website link along with a static username and password would be relatively easy to code into the automatic order receipt, but also somewhat insecure, and it wouldn't be possible to sell different tutorials. Linking a website link to a product in the email would probably be more difficult, but still doable. Generating a userid and a random password would be still more difficult, but also doable.

 

Look here in checkout process for some of the code used in generating the customer emails:

  $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,
					  'comments' => $order->info['comments']);
 tep_db_perform(TABLE_ORDERS_STATUS_HISTORY, $sql_data_array);

 

Continue scrolling down for more email code. You will be adding whatever code you need somewhere in here.
