Email Variable Values

Hi there,

I'm trying to update the values of the email variables, such as what appears in the subject line in what order, or the signature used in the email body.

Where can I find these variables and how can I edit their values?


Thanks,
Arash

Hi Arash,

You can customize the emails of HikaShop via the menu "Hikashop->System->Emails". That functionality is only available in the Business edition.

Hope this will help you.

Thank you for that. I've seen the email customization in our Business Edition.

I'm actually curious how I can modify what's included and in what order in variables such as ORDER_STATUS_NOTIFICATION_SUBJECT or the THANK_YOU_FOR_YOUR_ORDER, and BEST_REGARDS_CUSTOMER that appear in the email PHP code.

Hi,

You'll just have to edit your translation file for this through "Hikashop->System->Configuration->Languages" and change/override these variables's values.

Hope this will help you.

I've tried this with no luck. Specifically, I changed my translation so that the Override section now contains the following:

TOTAL_WITHOUT_VAT="TOTAL without TAX : %s"
TOTAL_WITH_VAT="Total with TAX : %s"
PRICE_AFTER_TAX=" excl Tax) "
PLUS_X_OF_VAT="+%s of Tax"
VAT="Tax"

However, all the emails I try to generate from an Order, such as to confirm shipping, that contain the wording "Total with VAT" are NOT replaced with my text of "Total with TAX". What am I missing here?

I have version 2.0.0 with Joomla 1.5.26

However, the problem persisted. It so happened that I tried editing the language file directly and everything worked like a charm.

I'm curious what you're referring to by "loose your modifications." Which modifications would I lose?
