Custom text not on the confirmation email

- url of the page with the problem -- : store.basement-supercomputing.com
-- HikaShop version -- : You have the latest stable version of HikaShop Business: 2.2.1
-- Joomla version -- : 2.5
-- PHP version -- : php-5.3.3-23.el6_4.x86_64
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : firefox 10.0.2

I am trying to add a custom display to my order page and the confirmation email. If I go to Display/Custom Views and create a new
field in table "order" , with "Custom Text", the text shows up on the order page, but does not show up on the emailed order confirmation.

It works if I add text using the "Text Area" field type and set it to read only, but there is huge text input box on the order page.
This method works, but is feels clumsy and looks a bit funny on the order page. (you can see it by going to
store.basement-supercomputing.com/index....for-products-listing
and putting something in the cart and hitting proceed to check out.

What I am trying to do is create a "pro-forma" invoice payment method that allows a customer to print out
a pro-forma invoice to help create a purchase order. I want to add other instructions to the confirmation email.

Where do I add "custom text" to the "order confirmation" and "order created" customer email?

Hi,

You'll be able to do that by editing the code of the Order status notification emails which will be sent whenever your order status changed, you'll be able do that through "Hikashop->System->Emails" and by addind some PHP code like :

<?php
echo JText::_('YOUR_TRANSLATION_WORD');
?>

Thank you that helped.

It also triggered another question. What if I'm selling different product types...for example t-shirts and event tickets. Can I somehow designate one message to send for "real" products and another for "digital" products. Or in my case, one to pick-up your t-shirt at the school office and another to pick-up your tickets at the school theater.

Hi,

Yes you can do that, it will require some custom code.
You will have to check the product, and depending on the product display one or another message.
It require php knowledges.

Is that something the Hikashop peeps would do? And, to you have a rough idea of cost?

Just to be certain here. I'm looking to send different creation and/or confirmation emails for different products. I'm looking into this for a school parent booster club. They raise money from three different sources.
1) t-shirts, etc. (physical product),
2) membership (no product, no download, just a thank you) and
3) an auction (ticket registration).
They are asking if it is possible to send a different confirmation email with each type of order. If that is something that is in the works, I think their position would be to wait. (I was confused by your use of the word shipping, but I can see how the email responses are related.

Understood. You make an excellent point re: the variety of potential products on one invoice. I'm fine for now.

Thank you.
