if payment method = money order... show special message

[Guest]

what is the code to be used to display a message to customers on checkout_confirmation.php & checkout_success.php that are using only money order or cash methods?

 

for the life of me, i cannot figure it out but i'm quite sure it's something ridiculously simple :blush:

It's the MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_DESCRIPTION string that comes from the money order payment module (function confirmation()). The checkout_confirmation.php file list this extra section when that function is defined. You will see it setting the extra payment info box using something like

 

if ($confirmation = $payment_modules->confirmation()) {
...

so i would need to make it be like

if (MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_DESCRIPTION == "money order blaba")

 

in order for it to work?

[Guest]

well that definition (MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_DESCRIPTION) comes from the moneyorder module (check the catalog\includes\languages\english\modules\moneyorder.php) The actual test happens with the:

if ($confirmation = $payment_modules->confirmation()) {

 

in the checkout_confirmation.php because each payment module can supply that function (optional). So when that function is present in a payment module, it typically returns some descriptive string which in turn is displayed with the final confirmation page.

is there any way to avoid using the description bit? i tend to change mine from time to time based upon the idiotic emails i've received from potential purchases that didn't understand one thing or another

[Guest]

yes you could remove it but how you going to specify the money order details/requirements? You cannot simply hard-code a string to always show during confiirmation because each payment module has different requirements.

[Guest]

i figured as much, but that is why i would like to try and "match" them somehow

 

something like

if (MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_DESCRIPTION == "money order blaba") {

echo "you are paying by money order"

}

 

if (MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_DESCRIPTION == "credit blaba") {

echo "you are paying by credit cards"

}

 

if (MODULE_PAYMENT_MONEYORDER_TEXT_DESCRIPTION == "business check blaba") {

echo "you are paying by check"

}
