Outbid Notification - Add link to auction item?

-- url of the page with the problem -- : twepta.org
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3
-- HikaAuction version -- : 1.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.51

Is there a way to add a link to the auction item that the person has been outbid on?

Thank you.

Hello,

Sure! you'll just have to :
- Go to the page "Hikashop->System->Emails"
- Edit the "HikaAuction : Auction outbid notification" email
- Edit the "Preload version" code and change these lines :

$vars = array(
	'LIVE_SITE' => HIKASHOP_LIVE,
	'URL' => HIKASHOP_LIVE,
);

$vars = array(
	'LIVE_SITE' => HIKASHOP_LIVE,
	'URL' => HIKASHOP_LIVE,
	'PRODUCT_URL' => $front_product_url,
);

{VAR:PRODUCT_URL}

Thank you. I'll try it out this weekend

Added the preload and html code. When I click the link in the outbid notification email, it says that the product is not found.

I setup the auction items under a separate folder under the "root". Did this so that the auction items would not show on my online store. Is it possible that this is the reason the link isn't working?

Just tried adding it under products category - and that doesn't work either. Hopefully you can help Mohammed - go live in two days. Thanks in advance

Hi Hika Auction Team,

I know it's the weekend, but I could really use some help. We go live with our auction in a day. I need to get the product link working on the outbid notification. Here's what the preload hikaauction outbid notification - preload version shows:

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?><?php

global $Itemid;
$url_itemid = '';
if(!empty($Itemid))
	$url_itemid = '&Itemid=' . $Itemid;

$texts = array(
	'MAIL_HEADER' => JText::_('HIKASHOP_MAIL_HEADER'),
	'MAIL_TITLE' => JText::_('AUCTION_EMAIL_OUTBID_TITLE'),
	'MAIL_MESSAGE' => JText::sprintf('AUCTION_EMAIL_OUTBID_MESSAGE', $data->product->product_name,$data->price),
	'HI_USER' => JText::sprintf('HI_CUSTOMER',@$data->user->username),
	'ORDER_END_MESSAGE' => JText::sprintf('BEST_REGARDS_CUSTOMER',$mail->from_name)
);

$front_product_url = hikashop_frontendLink('product&task=show&cid[]='.$data->product->product_id . $url_itemid);

$vars = array(
	'LIVE_SITE' => HIKASHOP_LIVE,
	'URL' => HIKASHOP_LIVE,
        'PRODUCT_URL' => $front_product_url,
);

Thanks for the reply Nicolas. Unfortunately, sill doesn't work... I click on the link which now reads:

Including the detail on the product...as you mentioned you were assuming the alias was setup properly.

This is the product setup. Item id =622

Any ideas on this?

We go live in a couple hours. I'm guessing this is not an easy solve? Also wondering if the email titles not functioning has something to do with the issue?

Hello,

Can you :
- Go to the page "Hikashop->System->Emails"
- Edit the "HikaAuction : Auction outbid notification" email
- Edit the "Preload version" code

- Replace that line :

$front_product_url = hikashop_frontendLink('product&task=show&cid[]='.$data->product->product_id . $url_itemid);

$front_product_url = hikashop_frontendLink('index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product&task=show&cid[]=' . $data->product->product_id . $url_itemid);

We go live in a couple hours. I'm guessing this is not an easy solve? Also wondering if the email titles not functioning has something to do with the issue?

Dancing a jig!!! Thank you so much - it works!

On the email - I have version 1.2 - I believe that's the latest...I checked my subscription to download, and it still shows 1.2. Is it different?

Thank you all for your help!
