That's the data of the custom field. It's stored like that in the database. If you want to convert it, you need to call the show function of class.field Here is an example with a custom item field: [ www.hikashop.com/forum/product-category-...e-picker.html#202906](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/product-category-display/877178-how-show-a-product-custom-field-date-picker.html#202906) 2. You indeed have 5 placeholders in your override, but I count 6 variables in your code: $address_company $order->order_number ' - ' $shipto_method $yourdesiredduedate HIKASHOP_LIVE So it's normal that the last one, HIKASHOP_LIVE is missing.

Thanks!")* Hi Nicolas, Thanks for your response. Ok, I'll have to investigate the formatting of the custom field further. For now, I still have trouble even displaying the value of the field in the subject line. The number of variables showing is still coming out wrong, despite me adding the new placeholder to my override. So now I have this same code in the 'Order.php' file: Code: $order->customer->user_email = explode(',',$emails); $order->customer->name= ' '; $this->loadOrderNotification($order,'order_admin_notification'); $address_company = $order->cart->billing_address->address_company; $shipto_method = $order->cart->billing_address->shipto_method; $yourdesiredduedate = $order->cart->yourdesiredduedate; $order->mail->subject = JText::sprintf('NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT',$address_company,$order->order_number,' - ',$shipto_method,$yourdesiredduedate,HIKASHOP_LIVE); and my override now looks like this: Code: New %s order No. %s created on Playerkits.com%s%s%s%s so we can see that there are now 6 placeholders. However my subject line of my email comes out looking like this: Code: New Customer order No. WW-00855 created on Playerkits.com - 20170331000000http://www.site.com/ So for some reason it's only showing 5 of the available variables: Code: $address_company $order->order_number ' - ' $shipto_method $yourdesiredduedate HIKASHOP_LIVE It's completely skipping my "shipto_method" for some reason. Do you have any idea what's going wrong here?

So probably there is no value in the billing address for the custom address field with the column name "shipto_method".

However, this brings me back to the format of my date. I modified the code from the linked thread you provided, but it doesn't do anything at all. I place this code into the preload section of my Admin email: Code: $fieldsClass = hikashop_get('class.field'); $element=null; $fields = $fieldsClass->getFields('',$element,'order'); echo $fieldsClass->show($fields['yourdesiredduedate'], $this->row->yourdesiredduedate); I placed it at the end after the "ob_start" section, before the 'JPluginHelper' line.

Thanks!")* Hi, That code is correct. However, you need to understand that the show function require its first parameter to be a field data. If Code: $fields['yourdesiredduedate'] is empty, which I assume it is, then the show function won't work properly as it doesn't have the data of the custom field and thus it doesn't know how you configured the custom field. And thus, you need to also understand how the getFields function works. It returns an array of the fields data available for the element given in its second parameter. Since you give it an empty parameter, it will give you back all the fields that apply to any order regardless of what you have in the order. So if your custom field is limited to only some products or some categories, then the data of that custom field won't be in the array returned by the getFields function. Now you didn't provide a screenshot of the settings of your custom field, so I don't know if that's the case but I bet it is something along those lines. An easy alternative would be to run your own MySQL query to load the field data yourself from the hikashop_field table.

Remove that restriction and your code should work. Otherwise, you can also change : $fields = $fieldsClass->getFields('',$element,'order'); to: $fields = $fieldsClass->getFields('',$order,'order'); / Or $order->cart ? so that the fields loaded take into account the data of the order and include the fields with restrictions on the categories of the products of the order.

As for the rest, I don't know PHP well, so I don't know why most of that code is there, which is why I need help with this. I copied a lot of it from the thread you linked to earlier, and tried to adjust it the best i could. At this point, the only thing that needs to be done is to format the date correctly. I do get the date itself in the subject, but it's in an unfriendly format that is not easily scanned. If you (or someone) could just tell me how to change that date format I'd be all set.

And as you can see in the code just before what you have pasted, you will find the loading of the order custom field and the display of these fields ; just like what you want to do. Code: $fields = $fieldsClass->getFields('frontcomp',$data,'order',''); Code: $fieldsClass->show($oneExtraField, $data->cart->$fieldName,'admin_email') Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

How should I modify this to get it working?
