Add Custom Fields to Order Summary Email

Hi There,

I'm wondering if this is possible. Firstly, see the following screen shots





What I've been asked to do is add the brewery name to the order summary email, in this case it's the text "Wold Top -".

Now I've already created a custom field in the products table, and I'm inserting it into product > listing > img_title.php to display the brewery on the product listing page. So my question is can I use this same code (which is <?php echo $this->row->brewer; ?>) to display that custom field on the order summary email or do I have to do something different?

Kind Regards,

Matthew

Hi,

Note that if you use a custom field from the "Item" table, your custom field will automatically show through your invoice and emails.

Hi Mohamed,

I wasn't looking to create another new custom field, I was looking to insert a custom field I had already created into an email if that makes sense?

Hi,

In the email you can add the following tag: after this line:

Hi Xavier,

I'm afraid I don't see the line

{LINEVAR:PRODUCT_NAME}<!--{IF:ORDER_PRODUCT_CODE}--> {LINEVAR:PRODUCT_CODE}<!--{ENDIF:ORDER_PRODUCT_CODE}-->

I assume I should be looking in the email 'Order creation notification'?

Hi Guys, wondering if I could have abit more help with this?

I tried putting {LINEVAR:product.CUSTOM_FIELD_NAME} after it says {LINEVAR:PRODUCT_NAME} which didn't seem to work, but I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right place?

Xavier was correct and wrong in his answer
The problem with what he told you is that the tags he gave you will only exist in next version of HikaShop.
With the current version of HikaShop, such modification is much more complex as you also need to edit the preload file corresponding to the email in the folder media/com_hikashop/mail/ in order to add php code to generate the var tag that you'll be able to use on the email template. If you're well versed into programming, look at what we do for the product_name field and do the same for your custom field column name and that will work. If not, then I would recommend to wait for next version of HikaShop in one or two weeks in order to be able to do what Xavier explained.

While I am starting to understand PHP a lot more then I did thanks to the help from all you guys, I certainly wouldn't call myself "well versed" at all! I'll look into what you suggested, as I like to give things a go, but I think it would probably make sense to wait for the next update!

Thanks Guys
