Add custom order information to notification email

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1

Hi,

In the cart I added code to show the discount percentage that they got and their advantage. That is this code:

      		<?php $total_amount = $this->currencyHelper->format($this->total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax, $this->total->prices[0]->price_currency_id); 
			$percentage = $this->row->discount->discount_percent_amount;
			$perc_calc = 100 - $this->row->discount->discount_percent_amount;
			$perc_text = 1*$this->row->discount->discount_percent_amount.'%';
			$price_total = $this->total->prices[0]->price_value_with_tax;
			$advantage = (((100 / $perc_calc ) * $price_total * $percentage)) / 100 ;
			$advantage_format = number_format($advantage, 2);
			$value_order = ($price_total / $perc_calc) *100;
			$value_order_format = number_format($value_order, 2);

			echo "<p>The purchasing amount is € " . $price_total . ". With your discount " . $perc_text . " this means an advantage of <b>€ " . $advantage_format . "</b>. (The commercial store value is: € " . $value_order_format . ").</p><br />";
	?>

Just an idea: would it be a solution to save the echo as a variable and put it in a session?

Hi,

Well, I only need it in the order creation email, so that can be a good solution.

I've added the variable to the session and can use it on other pages. But how can I set it in the email? I guess I need to add it to the preload version and HTML version? But how?

Thanks again.

Thanks, but didn't work. What i did was the following:

1. I set the variable in the cart - showcart view.
2. In the checkout-cart view I load it and it does show the value I want.
3. I used several codes to try to get it in the email, but it remains empty or throwes a 500-error.

This code works in the checkout, but throws a 500-error in the email:

<?php
// Grab session ##
$session = JFactory::getSession();
$value_format = $session->get('value_format');
echo $value_format;
?>

<?php // echo $_SESSION['value_format']; ?> 
and
<?php // print "{$_SESSION['value_format']}"; ?>

Well, I managed to get this to work. The code needed to be altered a little.

Maybe it can help someone else in the future, so this is what I did:

In cart - showcart.php I added the following code to get the variables in the session:

 <?php   
    $session = JFactory::getSession();
$registry = $session->get('registry');
$session->set('value_format', $value_format);
$registry->set('value_format', $value_format);
  ?>

<?php
// Grab session ##
$session = JFactory::getSession();
$value_format = $session->get('value_format');
echo $value_format;
?>

<?php
$registry = $session->get('registry');
echo $registry;
?>

Hi,

Just to be sure, when using the echo or print, the lines were not commented ?
Where in the email do you have placed this code ? In the preload part ?

Hi,

You mean that last code? I placed in the HTML-version. The lines were readable, allthough a bit messy. But was just to give me some more info.

I also used that code on the checkout-cart view.
