E-Commerce Tip: xtCommerce - confirmation email with bank details
In the current xtCommerce 4.0 there is unfortunately no possibility to specify the bank details including all direct debit data directly in the confirmation email. This makes it easier to use the direct debit system, because you don't always have to log in to the store. If you need more information or help around the topic of e-commerce and online store, we are happy to help you.
THE FOLLOWING PIECE OF CODE WILL HELP:
File: xtFramework/classes/class.order.php
Function:function _sendOrderMail()
INSERT BEFORE:
($plugin_code = $xtPlugin->PluginCode('class.orders.php:_sendOrderMail_bottom')) ? eval($plugin_code) : false; $ordermail->_sendMail();
ZU:
// get data for payment method banktransfer if($this->order_data['payment_code'] == "xt_banktransfer") { $banktransfer_record = $db->Execute("SELECT orders_data FROM " . TABLE_ORDERS . " WHERE orders_id = '" . (int) $this->order_data['orders_id'] . "'"); $banktransfer_data = unserialize($banktransfer_record->fields['orders_data']); $ordermail->_assign('banktransfer_owner',$banktransfer_data['banktransfer_owner']); $ordermail->_assign('banktransfer_number',$banktransfer_data['banktransfer_number']); $ordermail->_assign('banktransfer_bank_name',$banktransfer_data['banktransfer_bank_name']); $ordermail->_assign('banktransfer_blz',$banktransfer_data['banktransfer_blz']); $ordermail->_assign('banktransfer_iban',$banktransfer_data['banktransfer_iban']); $ordermail->_assign('banktransfer_bic',$banktransfer_data['banktransfer_bic']); } ($plugin_code = $xtPlugin->PluginCode('class.orders.php:_sendOrderMail_bottom')) ? eval($plugin_code) : false; $ordermail->_sendMail();
Then in the email templates (Inahlte -> E-Mail Manager) in template (send_order) add these lines:
{if $banktransfer_owner} <h2>Direct debit</h2>. <p>account holder: {$banktransfer_owner}<br/> Bank name: {$banktransfer_bank_name}<br/> Bank code: {$banktransfer_blz}<br/> Account number: {$banktransfer_number}<br/> Iban: {$banktransfer_iban}<br/> Bic / Swift: {$banktransfer_bic}<br/></p><br /> {/if}
If everything goes smoothly, you now have the direct debit details in the confirmation email.
