xtCommerce 4.0: Enter direct debit data in confirmation email

In the current xtCommerce 4.0 there is unfortunately no option to enter the bank details including all direct debit data directly in the confirmation email. This makes it easier to use the direct debit procedure as you do not always have to log into the store. If you need further information or help on the subject of e-commerce and online stores, we will be 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();

TO:

// get data for payment method bank transfer
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 add these lines to the e-mail templates (Contents -> E-Mail Manager) in Template (send_order):

{if $banktransfer_owner}
Direct debit procedure
Account holder: {$banktransfer_owner}

Name of the bank: {$banktransfer_bank_name}

Bank sort code: {$banktransfer_blz}

Account number: {$banktransfer_number}

Iban: {$banktransfer_iban}

Bic / Swift: {$banktransfer_bic}


{/if}

If everything goes smoothly, you will now have the direct debit details in the confirmation email.
