Specifications in checkout and emails

-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.5

Hi,

I was hoping you could just give me some quick help on what the correct code is to make the product specifications appear with the product in both the checkout and in the email that gets sent out.

I've looked at the tutorial http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/153-customize-the-display.html and understand what I need to do but just wanted to check with you what the correct code would be.

Thanks.

Hi,

The view to edit to display the informations in the cart of the checkout is "checkout / cart".
And for the emails, you can edit them directly via our menu System > Emails.

So the specifications on the product page are the product dimensions and custom product fields.
To display that you can use this kind of code:

echo $this->row->product_width;
echo $this->row->product_height;
echo $this->row->product_length;
echo $this->row->customfieldname;

I've given that a try but with no luck.

I tried copying the code from the other parts of the site where the specifications do appear but with no luck.

Hi,

My bad, in the view "checkout / cart" the code to use is only:

echo $row->product_width;
echo $row->product_height;
echo $row->product_length;
echo $row->customfieldname;

Thanks for your help, that worked!

The only thing is that I'm still having a little trouble getting it to work in the emails.

I understand that I need to add in a "LINEVAR" in the HTML version to call up the <?php echo $row->packincludes; ?> code that is in the Preload version but I can't seem to get it working. could you please have a look at my code and let me know if it's correct?

HTML Version

<!--{START:PRODUCT_LINE}-->
	<tr>
		<td style="border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:3px;">
			{LINEVAR:PRODUCT_IMG}
			{LINEVAR:PRODUCT_NAME}<!--{IF:ORDER_PRODUCT_CODE}--> {LINEVAR:PRODUCT_CODE}<!--{ENDIF:ORDER_PRODUCT_CODE}-->
			{LINEVAR:PRODUCT_DOWNLOAD}
			{LINEVAR:PRODUCT_DETAILS}
          {LINEVAR:PRODUCT_SPECS}
		</td>
		<td style="border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:3px;text-align:right">{LINEVAR:PRODUCT_PRICE}</td>
		<td style="border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:3px;text-align:right">{LINEVAR:PRODUCT_QUANTITY}</td>
		<td style="border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;padding-bottom:3px;text-align:right">{LINEVAR:PRODUCT_TOTAL}</td>
	</tr>
<!--{END:PRODUCT_LINE}-->

$cartProduct['PRODUCT_SPECS'] = $row->packincludes;
		$cartProduct['PRODUCT_PRICE'] = $unit_price;
		$cartProduct['PRODUCT_TOTAL'] = $total_price;

		$cartProducts[] = $cartProduct;

I've made the changes as you mentioned, but I still can't get it to work.

This is the code I'm using for the preloaded section, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any Ideas?

$cartProduct = array(
			'PRODUCT_CODE' => $item->order_product_code,
			'PRODUCT_QUANTITY' => $item->order_product_quantity,
			'PRODUCT_IMG' => '',
			'item' => $item,
			'product' => $product,
			'PRODUCT_SPECS' => $item->packincludes,
		);

$cartProduct['PRODUCT_SPECS'] = $item->packincludes;

That worked perfectly!

thank you so much for your help
