It should add the name of the store to the subject when you change this in

the checkout_process.php file:

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

December 28, 2004

hiya digitalhuman.... thanks for that - i got it working... any idea how i can add the order number to the subject line?

i tried this:

define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', STORE_NAME . ' - Order No: ' . EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $insert_id );

but it didnt work :P it came out like this: 'Magnetic Mattress Covers - Order No: EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER'

then i need to add the customers phone number & email address in the order email....

January 14, 2005

Along this same line: How do I add the customer's email address to the information contained in the confirmation email? It shows the delivery and billing address, but no email address. Would also like to see the customer's phone number there too.

Anyone can help?

This looks great! I will give it a try. Thank you!

January 19, 2005

Did you guys ever figure this out? I need to add the customer email address and phone number to the Order Process email as well.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes, here is how to add your customer email and phone number to the order email:

My solution is:

\catalog\checkout_process.php orig.

CODE

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";

}

\catalog\checkout_process.php modif.

CODE

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

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

EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .

EMAIL_TEXT_MAIL . $order->customer['email_address'] . "\n" .

EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .

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

EMAIL_TEXT_PHONE . $order->customer['telephone']. "\n";

}

In more, the following lines, must be added

\catalog\includes\languages\(your language)\checkout_process.php

CODE

define('EMAIL_TEXT_MAIL', 'Email: ');

define('EMAIL_TEXT_PHONE', 'Telephone: ');

adam71o · January 20, 2005

I'm trying to find out how to edit the email sent to the customer when they place an order.

Specifically, I need to add a line right under the "order number" line at the top of the email which includes a hyperlink. something like...

"Thanks for your order. Now the only thing left to do is design your project. CLICK HERE TO DESIGN YOUR LAYOUT."

Thanks in advance!

I'm have trying to add customers_dob (Date of Birth) under email but it just be a blank line.

Anyone can help me?

happydance · February 9, 2005

Thanks. I have used these suggestions to work on my emails. Does anyone know why I am getting this in my customer order emails? I am also getting the text version and the html unformated version in all the emails.

Ive been trying to add to my confirmation email - with info about the terms and conditions link and also link to our returns policy. Ive edited the languages file and then ive added to the checkout_process.php like so:

// lets start with the email confirmation
 $email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" . 
                EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . 
                EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $insert_id . "\n" .
                EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $insert_id, 'SSL', false) . "\n" .
    EMAIL_TEXT_RETURNS_URL . ' ' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING) . "\n\n" .
    EMAIL_TEXT_CONDITIONS_URL . ' ' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS) . "\n\n" .
                EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n\n";

But... the confirmation email still has the same info in it and does not print the returns (shipping) or the terms and conditions links..

Any ideas ?

Is there any other files that the email info is being sent from ??

thanks

mark

danigirl168 · February 16, 2005

Mark,

In the /languages/english/checkout_process.php file create the variable EMAIL_TEXT_CONDITIONS and fill in your Ts and Cs there. Something like this:

define('EMAIL_TEXT_CONDITIONS', 'If you use this piece of code on your OsCommerce implementation you owe DaniGirl168 a big thank you. All information is given as-is and DaniGirl168 disclaims all responsibility for any cock ups you may make while implementing this. In your version replace this text with your Ts and Cs just watch you do not enter any special characters that will break the php string');

Then in your other checkout_process.php file, look for this line:

  $email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_BILLING_ADDRESS . "\n" .
                 EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
                 tep_address_label($customer_id, $billto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n\n";
 if (is_object($$payment)) {
   $email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD . "\n" . 
                   EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";

Modify it to look like this:

  $email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_BILLING_ADDRESS . "\n" .
                 EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
                 tep_address_label($customer_id, $billto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n\n";
 if (is_object($$payment)) {
   $email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD . "\n" . 
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n"
EMAIL_TEXT_CONDITIONS . "\n"                    
EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";

Not the cleanest way of fixing this problem, but it works! I accept gratfulness donations by paypal :P

Best regards,

Dani

Hmmm, what's the difference between those links? They both look the same to me. Clarify what's up.

Danielle x

Ooops sorry! Editing my original post now coz I see what's up - one is http, the other https. That wasn't that obvious!

catalog/checkout_process.php: (from the line '//lets start.....') look for this line, you can see where it is calling SSL:

EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $insert_id, 'SSL', false) . "\n" .
