Change payment output message

Hi.

I have searched this forum and have found how to change the message that appears once the order has been made (and this includes an order number), however, what I'd like to do is to address it to the customer.

So, what I would like to show is:

Hi (member name), thanks for your order. Please include you name (member name) and order number ( ** ) in the comments of the bank transfer so that we can match it to your order.

Cheers

Hi,

To display the name, you can use: echo $order->cart->customer->name;
For the order number: echo $order_number;

Thanks Xavier, I'll try that. The order number automatically outputs, but it's good to have another reference.

Thanks again

Hi Xavier.

Excuse my ignorance, but how does echo $order->cart->customer->name need to formatted in the file?

Cheers

You will need to add it to the space where you want the information to show within PHP tags.

It should look like this:

In HikaShop, go to Display > Views

Set the dropdown filters at top right to [YourTempalte_Name] and "Front end".

The file you want to edit is the after_end file under the Checkout view. Click on it to edit it.

Now you can edit it to say what you want it to.

It should look something like this:
Actually, the above codes won't may not work as the information is not stored after the order is submitted. I'm not sure how to get HikaShop to take information from the previous order as yet though. However, this is how you would use it and this is the file you would place it into.

Winchester, once again, thanks for your input.

I think I may have not myself too well, or what I have done.

I have a message that I have edited in the language file (System>Language). Under the heading of ;bank transfer and ;check, I have changed the "INCLUDE_ORDER_NUMBER_TO_TRANSFER" and "INCLUDE_ORDER_NUMBER_TO_CHECK" messages to what I want, except, I would also like the customer's name to appear.

I tried the method described above, but got no message including the user/customer name.

I only have 2 methods of payment (bank transfer and on pick up) and would like to see the message to include their user/customer name.

Cheers

It would be nice if HikaShop would allow the variables to be carried over into the after_end page. Perhaps, include the after_end page in the checkout flow so that it can be apart of the checkout process.

I don't know how to get the name from HikaShop, but I know how to get it from Joomla. Also, this will work for the after_end page, but not in the language files.

Using Joomla, open checkout > after_end in HikaShop and look for this line of code:
Add these lines just below it:

Now to get the user info from Joomla, use the line code where you want them to show.
The only problem is that these user information may be different from the information the user entered for their HikaShop Billing and/or Shipping addresses.

I'm also looking for a simpler way to handle this. These that's I've posted here are really just my findings and may not be the best or easiest way to handle it. However, I'm hoping someone from HikaShop will shed some light on this.

Thanks for all of that Winchester. I'll try that out a little later and report back

Again, thanks for your input, it has been great

Cheers

Hi

This is what I entered:

"<?php

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?>
// Get Joomla! framework
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) ));
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();
//get user information from the Joomla database
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$session =& JFactory::getSession();
<?php echo $user->name; // Joomla User's Name (first & last) ?>"

Obviously I removed the "" marks.

The message I got back was from the System>Languages file though.

I am not a coder, so maybe either I have entreed something wrong (very possible) or what I am after is not available.

Thanks all for your help.

Any more ideas???

Hi,

I made some modification in your code in order to fix it:
Regards,

Sorry.. I should've mentioned that.. Remember though that this will only show the name entered into Joomla user and not the name from HikaShop.
