Hi, I would to add the "Company" custom field (address_company) to the title of the admin notification email when an order is placed.

Previously, I was trying to add a Community Builder field but that is too complex at this point.

For the address_company field, I attempted to add the variable to the "order.php" file like so:

$order->mail->subject = JText::sprintf('NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT',$address_company,$order->order_number,HIKASHOP_LIVE);

Hi Nicolas,

I did load it in the line above, although with the wrong path. I have now included the correct path so that it reads like so:

$order->mail->subject = trim($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);

Hi Jerome,

thanks for the response. since I have the following in my order file:

$order->mail->subject = JText::sprintf('NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT',$address_company,$order->order_number,HIKASHOP_LIVE);

Hi Nicolas,

thanks for responding. I did try this and unfortunately it also didn't work.

So just to be clear on what I did - this is what I have now in Order.php

$order->mail->subject = trim($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);
	}

I did it that way and it worked. Thank you.

Is there any way to make this change via an override - or other means so that each time HS is upgraded we don't have to manually re-apply this change?

Sorry, I'm not finding exactly where to do that override.

I've tried using the Hkashop view and the only "email" view that I'm finding are on the "back end":

• form
• form_param
• listing

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?

$address_company = $order->cart->billing_address->address_company;
            $order->mail->subject = JText::sprintf('NEW_ORDER_SUBJECT',$address_company,$order->order_number,' - ',HIKASHOP_LIVE);

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:

$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);
