defender39 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I would like to add an email button in orders.php as it stands it displays the email address as a mailto: here is how to add a button to quickly email a customer. Sometimes I needed to email a customer and the notify customer on an update doesnt really do that. look for this code around line 150 <td class="main"><?php echo '<a href="mailto:' . $order->customer['email_address'] . '"><u>' . $order->customer['email_address'] . '</u></a>'; ?></td> now after that add <td class="main"> <?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_MAIL, 'selected_box=tools&customer=' . $order->customer['email_address'] . '">' . tep_image_button('button_email.gif', IMAGE_EMAIL) . '</a>'); ?></td> enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 if you have it set on the orders section when you make changes, ie updated, processed, delivered, etc, it will send an email to the customer automatically. you need to turn that function on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defender39 Posted January 31, 2004 Author Share Posted January 31, 2004 Yeah of course I knew that. But the problem is that when you update and notify a whole email is generated with text you may not wish to have in an email. Normally if I have a question with a customer I have to exit the orders.php page...and go to customers.php and then of course use the email button there. This is not quick nor is it efficent. My solution puts the email button also on the orders page. It will not interfere with any other function. This just creates a short cut from the orders page to the email and will already have the customer selected so you dont have to search the dropdown.

Guest Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Nice mod, thank you very much. It was easy and works great. Took about 45 sec. to install. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdy Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Holy COW!!! Nice option! I never knew I needed it until I was going through the contribs and ran accross it. It takes 15 seconds to install and if you mess anything up, let that be a hard lesson to stay out of the contrib area :P Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
