Gift Certificate Redemption Code include in Confiramtion Email... how?

[5hmedia]

I know just enough php to harm my site . with that said, i have completed several zen cart sites, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the Gift Cert Redemption Code to show up in the order confirmation email. It of course shows up in the email when a customer sends a gift cert to someone else. Any ideas and step by step instructions? if you need the site or links, let me know. just trying to add that one field to the confirmation email....

i would ideally like for the redemption code to show up somewhere in the customer's account after they have either purchased it, or redeemed it.

thanks in advance.

kim, i hate it when i don't explain myself fully! thank you for responding; however, i am familiar with gift certs, and have them set up and working successfully. i have the Queue Purchases set to false. seems that because of this, the redemption code is not sent upon initial purchase of said GC. is this not correct? again, if the initial purchaser "sends" the GC to someone else, the new redemption code shows in the email. it is just not showing in the initial purchaser's email order confirmation, and they do not get a seperate email with the GC redemption code. thanks again....

The initial purchaser does NOT need to redeem the GC - it is added to their account automatically.

i understand that. what i am trying to accomplish is the ability for the purchaser to then print out the pdf gift certificate and give it to someone else (without utilizing the "send to" feature). they would need to write the GC code or redemption code on the physical GC. thanks.
