How to remove unwanted detail in Order Confirmation email?

[Athens Collectibles]

Hello everyone,

On placing an order, the customer gets a confirmation email as per the example below (I have masked some fields because this is from a real order):

If you look at the products area, you will see the product title (underlined in red) and what I want to remove underlined in blue. This unwanted detail is actually the "Products Model" which I use as a SKU field.

I know (or so I think) that contents of the order confirmation email are defined in the includes/classes/order.php file but my knowledge of php is from non-existent to minimal and some help from an experienced fellow will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any assistance and wishes for a nice weekend to all.

Right file.
in v1.5.0 starting a line 906 you'll see this section:

      // build output for email notification
      $this->products_ordered .=  $this->products[$i]['qty'] . ' x ' . $this->products[$i]['name'] . ($this->products[$i]['model'] != '' ? ' (' . $this->products[$i]['model'] . ') ' : '') . ' = ' .
      $currencies->display_price($this->products[$i]['final_price'], $this->products[$i]['tax'], $this->products[$i]['qty']) .
      ($this->products[$i]['onetime_charges'] !=0 ? "\n" . TEXT_ONETIME_CHARGES_EMAIL . $currencies->display_price($this->products[$i]['onetime_charges'], $this->products[$i]['tax'], 1) : '') .
      $this->products_ordered_attributes . "\n";
      $this->products_ordered_html .=
      '<tr>' . "\n" .
      '<td class="product-details" align="right" valign="top" width="30">' . $this->products[$i]['qty'] . '&nbsp;x</td>' . "\n" .
      '<td class="product-details" valign="top">' . nl2br($this->products[$i]['name']) . ($this->products[$i]['model'] != '' ? ' (' . nl2br($this->products[$i]['model']) . ') ' : '') . "\n" .

The parts highlighted would need to be removed if you are using the Model Number field for something other than its intended purpose and wish it not to be displayed on order-confirmation emails.

A million thanks DrByte, it worked perfectly!

Can I trouble you with another two questions please?

1) How can I remove the extra line feed underneath the product price?
2) How can I remove the (Shipping to >> Greece) from the Shipping method block below the Delivery address?

Following your previous instructions, I fiddled with various lines of the includes/classes/order.php file trying to find the solution myself, but with no success but I suspect that it will again be something easy. The new order confirmation displays below:

Thank you in advance again and have a nice evening.

I suspect your blank line can be removed from the raw HTML of the email template file in your /email/ folder.

And the shipping name comes from your shipping module.

Yes, the blank line was caused by some padding in the html email and this is now fixed.

As for the shipping name, it does come from the shipping module but I was trying to get rid of the second part only (the one in parentheses). Anyway, I shortened both parts of that line in the module and the whole text does not overflow to a second line now, improving the overall appearance.

Once more, I thank you for your assistance and wish you a nice evening.
