Are you sure that it is filled with something ?

I have now included the correct path so that it reads like so: Code: $order->mail->subject = trim($order->mail->subject); if(empty($order->mail->subject)) { $address_company = $order->cart->billing_address->address_company; $order->mail->subject = JText::sprintf('NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT',$address_company,$order->order_number,HIKASHOP_LIVE); but it still will not appear. The field is definitely filled in inside the User account, as well. I've tried adding extra variable placeholders to the language string with no results, except when you add too many it sends an email with "(No subject)". Hopefully you can see what's going wrong here...

Thanks for any help.")* Hi, And what appear in your email subject ? The access for the custom field data is right ; but you have to be sure that the "$order->cart" is right there. That variable is loaded in the email "preload" ; that's mostly why you should create an email override and not modify the HikaShop core files directly ; except if you want to have issues with future updates and loose your modifications.

Am I supposed to add it myself? Can someone just walk me through what exactly I should do to get this to happen? I'm kind of playing whack-a-mole here and obviously I'm missing something substantial in my understanding. thank you.

So just to be clear on what I did - this is what I have now in Order.php Code: $order->mail->subject = trim($order->mail->subject); if(empty($order->mail->subject)) { $address_company = $order->cart->billing_address->address_company; $order->mail->subject = JText::sprintf('NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT',$address_company,$order->order_number,HIKASHOP_LIVE); } Is it possible the problem is somewhere else? I've attached screenshots of what I have in my "address_company" custom field, then that field filled in the User Address Information screen, and then my "NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT" language override. Hopefully this sheds some light on the issue. Thanks!

Thanks for any help.")* Hi Nicolas, to pick up from what *cpaschen* is saying, I'd also like to try to move this into the email override instead of the order.php file. so to do this, I would open up my 'Order administrator notification' email to add code, and would I add this to the "Preload" section? Code: $address_company = $order->cart->billing_address->address_company; $order->mail->subject = JText::sprintf('NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT',$address_company,$order->order_number,' - ',HIKASHOP_LIVE); I looked through the code in that section, but couldn't tell if there's one place that's better than another to add the code. Is there a specific line that it should be placed?

And you can add it in the preload of the email, anywhere you want after $data->cart is loaded. At the end of the preload for example.

Thanks for any help.")* Thanks Nicolas, I tried doing this. First, I reverted my "order.php" file to the default code that installs with HikaShop Business 2.6.2. Then, in the Preload section of my "Order administrator notification" I placed this code at the very bottom: Code: $address_company = $data->cart->billing_address->address_company; $shipto_method = $data->cart->billing_address->shipto_method; $data->mail->subject = JText::sprintf('NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT',$address_company,$data->order_number,' - ',$shipto_method,HIKASHOP_LIVE); But when I placed an order, I get the email but the subject line is completely blank. Can you tell me where I went wrong?
