Adding Manufacture to Order Confirmation Email

[Beau91324]

I my a ZenNiewbie and I need to add the Manufactures Name of each item ordered in the Order Confirmation eMail. Can someone tell me where to find out to do this?

[DrByte]

The order.php class builds the line-item output during the create-add-products() method. You'll have to lookup the manufacturer for each product and then add it as part of that output. Then the send-order-email() method will include that info when it sends the actual emails. You'll definitely need to put on your programmer's hat to do it.

Any chance you know the names of the methods or the file names they're in?

[DrByte]

Yes, I included them in my previous post.

Found what I need to change but as a newbie to all this how do I get the products Manufactures name? I'm attempting to change the method create_add_products at the "// build output for email notification" section.

Can anyone help?

You could use the zen_get_products_manufacturers_name($product_id) function to look it up.

Thanks for the help, that was just what I needed. For those who come later here is what I had to add

zen_get_products_manufacturers_name($this->products[$i]['id'])

Could you tell me exactly where you are putting this and everything you put in to make this work. I have several customers who would like this in their store, but for some reason I can't get it to work.

Thank you very much for your help
