Track Package from FedEx, UPS, Postal, DHL, etc..

[lkzone]

Need help formatting my e-mail. When I enter a tracking # the e-mail looks good (correct spacing and returns.)

However, when I don't put in a track# (say, to just "Update"), the e-mail looks bad and I can't seem to insert   or the like in admin/includes/language/english/tracker.php.

Here's a sample e-mail:
<Begin Paste>
GPS TrackZone Order Number: 28102

Detailed Invoice: <snip>gpstrackzone.com/index.php?main_page=account_history_info&order_id=</snip>

Date Ordered: Thursday 08 May, 2008

The comments for your order are: &nbsp;Third time is a charm.Your order has been updated to the following: new status - Update

Please reply to this email if you have any questions.
<SNIP></End Paste>

See how the words in red (my comment and the next sentence) all run together? Any ideas?

thanks!

Your will have to customize the
/admin/includes/language/english/tracker.php file

You can do something like:

define('EMAIL_TEXT_COMMENTS_UPDATE', '<em>The comments for your order are: </em>' . "\n");
define('EMAIL_TEXT_STATUS_UPDATED',  "\n\n" . 'Your order has been updated to the following status:' . "\n");

You will need to learn some basic coding. All I did was add "\n" or "\n\n" to add a newline at the appropriate places. You could add ' ' to add more spaces if needed. Play with it yourself and try to make it work for what you are trying to accomplish.

Thanks for the tips but the

"\n\n" .

didn't seem to do the trick. Anything else I might try? I did try and look up codes on a PHP site but didn't have much luck.

Any tips would be great. Thanks.

Disregard my previous post. I was wrong -- your solution did work. thanks so much-- I was over-writing to the wrong "tracker.php" file when I tested the fix.

Oops -- so glad to have working. Thanks!

New feature request for Ty Tracker:

Need a back button on the customer's "Order Information" page.

Once a customer goes in to view an order history, he/she must go all the way back through the My Account screens to view another order (unless he/she is savy enough to use the browser back button).

A nice little "Back" button at the bottom of the page (or at top and bottom) would be more user friendly.

This is a great contribution! Using it with ZenCart 1.3.8a.

Or a really savvy customer could use the breadcrumbs to go back to the "History" page. But actually the customer "Order Information" is not a TyTracker function. It is native ZenCart. One thing I do is add the "Previous Orders" block to the right hand column in all of the catalog pages. Then the customer has direct access to the last 5 orders.

I can add the back button on the next release.

FYI, If you did the optional changes in the readme file, your customer can access the tracker page from clicking the History link. If not, it will bring up the native ZanCart page as described in the above previous post.

I use the optional changes. Figuratively speaking it's the only way to go! I haven't received any feedback but I would believe customers have to like having the tracking link displayed in the history screen like this.... I know I would as a customer.

Great job colosports! Warm wx is finally back. Time to gear up to ship Lucky Bamboo!

Hi Guys,

I already have 5 tracking companies setup e.g. FedEx, UPS, DHL etc

I need to add Australian Air Express AAE.

The Ty Package Tracker won't let me add any more shipping companies as I already have 5. I dont really use DHL etc anymore so I tried changing one of the existing tracking options to AAE, e.g. DHL, but the problem is all the PAST ORDERS shipped with DHL then change to AAE which is no good. Maybe I can add another shipping company to Ty Package Tracker? (already have 5)

Does anyone know what I should do?

AAE doesn’t have a direct link for the customers to click and track so we have to just give the customer the URL and tracking number, how do I set this up in Ty Package tracker?

thanks!

There is no easy way to add a six company.

Read the readme file to see how to change the carrier's name and tracking link..
