Confirmation email address field order

Hi,

I would like to change the order of the address fields in the email confirmation. Right now on checkout they are

Address
city
state
postcode/zip


But in the email they are different (specifically the zip is not after state, it is before city). I would like to change that if possible, but in the system->email file I see this:

if(!empty($data->cart->billing_address) && !empty($data->order_addresses_fields)){
$billing = $template;
foreach($data->order_addresses_fields as $field){
$fieldname = $field->field_namekey;
$address =& $data->order_addresses[$data->cart->billing_address->address_id];
if(!empty($address->$fieldname)) $billing=str_replace('{'.$fieldname.'}',$fieldsClass->show($field,$address->$fieldname),$billing);
}

And I am not sure where I would go to edit the order from here.

Thanks

Hi,

I think that the solution will probably be to edit change the field ordering of the "Address_template" file of the "Order" view of your Back-end template through "Hikashop->Display->Views".

Thank you, that seems to work perfectly. Is it possible to change the {address_state} to the 2 letter zone designation for the state?

Hi,

It is possible but it requires some development and PHP skills to right edit the views which display the address.
The "address_template" gives a template of what display and how.
But the "address_state" is displayed using the state custom field, which just show the state name (and not the state 2 letters code).
So, if you want to display the state in 2 letters, you will have to change how the address_template is used in the views and add a new kind of "tag" to display this 2 letters code.

$fieldsClass->show($field, $address->$fieldname) allow to display the custom field content, but it will display the state name for the state custom field.
You can access to the raw value $address->$fieldname which contains the zone_namekey, do a request in the database to load information about the state and display the 2 letter code instead.

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks, that makes sense to me up until the last part (the HOW of accessing ($address->$fieldname). My Objective php is pretty weak, but I will look into it and if I get too stuck I might ask for more help.

Thanks again for the help so far. You guys have all been great.
