It should look like this: Code: <?php echo $order->cart->customer->name; ?> 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: Code: <?php /** * @package HikaShop for Joomla! * @version 2.0.0 * @author hikashop.com * @copyright (C) 2010-2012 HIKARI SOFTWARE. All rights reserved. * @license GNU/GPLv3 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html */ defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); ?> <div id="hikashop_after_end"> <h1>Your order was successfully submitted!</h1> <p>Hi <?php echo $order->cart->customer->name; ?>, thanks for your order. Please include you name <?php echo $order->cart->customer->name; ?> and order number <?php echo $order_number; ?> in the comments of the bank transfer so that we can match it to your order.</p> </div> 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.

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 LT")* 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: Code: defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access'); Add these lines just below it: Code: // 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(); Now to get the user info from Joomla, use the line code where you want them to show. Code: <?php echo $user->username; // Joomla Username ?> <?php echo $user->name; // Joomla User's Name (first & last) ?> <?php echo $user->id; // Joomla User's ID ?> <?php echo $user->email; // Joomla User's email ?> 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. Last edit: 13 years 8 months ago by [winchester](/forum/user/6696-winchester "View winchester's Profile").
