Customizing the Order Confirmation email

[Beau91324]

I need to add to the email sent when an order is made lines with Model # of the products, the CC Exp date, and the Card Holder Name. I've found several posting on how to modify the orders.php file but I'm not clear on just what needs to be done as all of the info I want seems to be already in the function.

It is VERY UNWISE to put credit-card details in email. You should NOT be relying on emails for processing your orders. You should be logging into your store Admin area to collect that sensitive information so that it is protected and cannot be mistakenly processed by unauthorized persons.

Actually you should never be using a manual card module at all. You will have problems with PCI-DSS compliance if your bank finds out you're processing cards without authentication.

I agree about the cc info, but how can I get the model number to show?

You'll have to hack up the create_add_products() method in the orders class to add the extra content into the output list.

Ok, I've looked into the create_add_products() function in order.php and found this code snippet. My question is this "Why isn't the model showing up? (first line of executable code ) the product has a model number. I've checked twice.
