Add Text and Link to Order Confimation

**cnsystems** · 1 Aug 2007, 05:16 PM

I want to add text that contains a link on the order confirmation page. I found the file checkout_process but I am not sure if I can add html code in that page. I'd like to add a simple line like--Click here for our Return Policy. I tried to insert the html code for that but it just printed in plain text.

Here's what I tried to add:

define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT', 'Order Confirmation');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_HEADER', 'Order Confirmation');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_FROM',' from '); //added to the EMAIL_TEXT_HEADER, above on text-only emails
define('EMAIL_THANKS_FOR_SHOPPING','Thanks for shopping with us today!');
define('EMAIL_DETAILS_FOLLOW','<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a
href="http://qbstore.com/index.php?main_page=shippinginfo&zenid=a7a4d41**obfuscated*08796543ea"
target="_blank">Click here for our Return Policy</a>
The following are the details of your order.
</body>
</html>
');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER', 'Order Number:');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL', 'Detailed Invoice:');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL_CLICK', 'Click here for a Detailed Invoice');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED', 'Date Ordered:');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS', 'Products');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_SUBTOTAL', 'Sub-Total:');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_TAX', 'Tax: ');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_SHIPPING', 'Shipping: ');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_TOTAL', 'Total: ');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_ADDRESS', 'Delivery Address');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_BILLING_ADDRESS', 'Billing Address');
define('EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD', 'Payment Method');

1. NEVER include the zenid=xxxxxxxxxxxx in ANY link you post/email/share ..... EVER
(Otherwise you run the risk of multiple customers hijacking others' sessions)

2. If you have ANY customers receiving your emails in TEXT-only format, you probably should only supply the URL as a raw link, and not with the <a href> tags etc ... since text-only emails would show the raw html, making the link ugly and sometimes useless to them.

3. Why are you including <html>, <head>, <body> tags in the middle of an email? HTML-formatted emails will already have those tags, so if you add them again, you will confuse the email client, and end up with odd display results.

Why not just do this:

Code:

define('EMAIL_DETAILS_FOLLOW','The following are the details of your order.' . "\n\n" . 'If there is a problem with your order, please see our return policy, which can be found at this link:  ' . "\n" . 'http://qbstore.com/index.php?main_page=shippinginfo');
