Customizing receipt for specific items

[tigergirl]

Hello all,
I'd like to include a note on the receipt that is emailed to customers, but only for specific products. Is this possible?

Thanks for your help,
Leah

You'll have to write custom code to intercept the generated order contents and add extra content to the email it sends.
That involves scalpel and sutures and a careful study of the order class and its intricasies.

In v2.0, using a combination of the notifier/observer infrastructure and the new email templating system, the process is much simpler, although not trivial.

Thanks for your response, Dr. Byte.

I've followed the directions here (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...57&postcount=1) to add a new property and added a field to the product information in the back end. I know that it's being captured in the database. Now all I need to do is add a space in the receipt to show the extra note. I believe the files I need to be editing are

admin/classes/order.php
includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

but I'm not sure what the PHP call should look like to get the information back out. Can you help?

Thanks so much!
Leah
