Change email sent with order

[demastermind]

Hello,

I have a really quick question. After the customer orders something they get sent a email. Where is the file that controls the content of the email. I would like to spice it up because it is really blah. Thanks.

If you don't know any programming code, it may look VERY intimidating.

 

// 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=' . $insert_id, 'SSL', false) . "\n" .
                EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n\n";
 if ($order->info['comments']) {
   $email_order .= tep_db_output($order->info['comments']) . "\n\n";
 }
 $email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS . "\n" . 
                 EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . 
                 $products_ordered . 
                 EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";

 for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($order_totals); $i<$n; $i++) {
   $email_order .= strip_tags($order_totals[$i]['title']) . ' ' . strip_tags($order_totals[$i]['text']) . "\n";
 }

 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";
 }

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

 

But it is possible to "spice up."

 

We mainly just added the customer's phone number and email address into the body, and added an order number to the subject.

 

Do you have any coding experience?

I am very good with HTML and CSS, very good... PHP is another story, I'm learning as I go... and at a tortises pace! Can you tell me how to add the order number to the subject and the customer's phone number to the email? Thanks.

By the way thank you germ for showing me the file the code for the email is located at.

panicgripdesings, I would still like you to help me with puting in the order number into the email subject. In other news: I was working on the email and when I get something to work, I break something else. Litterly. Even more litterly. Every other $email_order works. In one email test half work and in the next email the other half work.

 

Look at what follows. I have EMAIL_A.PHP and EMAIL_A.JPG. I have EMAIL_B.PHP and EMAIL_B.JPG. EMAIL_B is the more correct of the two. The $email_orders of EMAIL_A should go in between the $email_orders of EMAIL_B. Both have all the fields, but only half will show up.

 

I have attached EMAIL_A.JPG and EMAIL_B.JPG. They are both marked with text so you should just be able to look at the picture and understand the problem. I really need some help with getting these emails to work. Thanks.

Yes I am also trying to Add the customers Phone Number to the Order Email. Can I edit these PHP files in Dreamweaver, or should I have another application?

I would use Notepad++ in combanation with FileZilla. I use that and the programs work well together. I can download a php or any extention file into Notepad++ directly via FileZilla and then save the file and get the option to upload it right back to the server . I found out how to add the order number to the subject. Post if you need to know how. Does anyone know what is wrong with my email? I dont know enought to figure it out. Thanks. (But I am learning... slowly)

Dreamweaver should work, but make sure to be only workin in the Code portion.

 

That's how I used to develop my site for a LONG time before I switched to PhpDesigner

 

Here's my modification:

 

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\n\nCustomer Instant Contact Info\n" . $order->customer['email_address'] ."\n". $order->customer['telephone'] . "\n";
 }

 

I added: . "\n\n\nCustomer Instant Contact Info\n" . $order->customer['email_address'] ."\n". $order->customer['telephone'] . "\n"

 

\n means New Line, like a <br /> but for a pliantext email. Feel free to use HTML.

 

and on the subject:

$new_mail_subject = EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT . ' - ' . EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $insert_id;

 

and the result:

What version do you have? And I do not know how to change that, but if you need an email that needs to be sent to another admin WITHOUT the order total of sometiing of that nature, I can help you with that IF you have osc 2.3
