How to change wording in order confirmation email

[cwiggers]

Can anyone tell me how to change the wording in the email order confirmation that goes to the customer? I am registering people for a charity motorcycle ride and I need to put instructions in the receipt for them. Please help!!!

/catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

 

define('TEXT_EMAIL_VIA', 'via');

[color="#FF0000"]define('TEXT_INFORMATION', <<<END
Put the text you want to add here.
As many lines as you need.
Take your time.
Have a cup of coffee while composing the message.
END
);[/color]
?>

Add the code in red (alter the text to suit).

 

/catalog/checkout_process.php

 

  }
[color="#FF0000"]  $email_order .= EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . TEXT_INFORMAION . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";[/color]
 tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);

Add the code in red.

 

BACKUP BOTH FILES BEFORE MAKING ANY EDITS.

 

You break it - You buy it.

Thank you for the help. I ran into a problem when adding the code to /catalog/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

I get the following error message Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /home/childnet/public_html/register/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php on line 34

 

This is the code as added at the bottom of the file - did I miss something?

 

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', <<<END

  $email_order .= EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . TEXT_INFORMATON . "\n" . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";

Put that code in the catalog file in place of what I posted.

 

I had a "typo".

[cwiggers]

I am still getting the same results

TEXT_INFORMATON

[germ]

Post the code you added to the catalog file.

 

I tried this on the contact us code and it works.

[germ]

 $email_order .= EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . TEXT_INFORMATION . "\n" . EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";
