I have created a custom field in the back-end where the admin can enter a tracking number. I can get the tracking number to show itself on the e-mail by using {VAR:order.tracking} Now i want it to be in a clickable link. The code to display it on the e-mail works. But i wanted to add the link to the post company so that the customer only would have to click the link to see the tracking info directly. I have been able to show the link itself using this code in the preload part: and this code in the pre load part What i see on the mail is the url but whit out the variable tracking number that the admin can enter in the backend. The tracking code field was created using the custom fields in the hikashop menu. Can anybode tell me how to display the tracking number inside of the link.
