Customer ID on 1st Order Email?

Does anyone know if there is there a way of showing the customers ID/number on their first order confirmation email so they can see what their customer number is? I've tried looking everywhere and searched but nothing for that is coming up in searches :no:

Thankyou.

Since the customer id is just an internal identifier, I wonder what use it would be to the customer ?

Because they way that the store works they will need their Customer/ID number for use of the virtual download products. It would be so much easier if the order confirm email could somehow send it.

You must be talking about custom code you've added?
... because Zen Cart doesn't work as you just described. No Customer/ID number is required for any downloads provided via Zen Cart.

Thank you. I know what you mean, they will be able to download their downloads as normal but require to know what they're customer ID is to use it ;) I just need to know how I can make it possible that they will be given their customer number/ID in with their first order :smile:

/includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/create_account.php
around line 350 or so you'll see this section of code.
Add the 3 highlighted lines as shown:```
// initial welcome
$email_text .= EMAIL_WELCOME;
$html_msg['EMAIL_WELCOME'] = str_replace('\n','',EMAIL_WELCOME);

[B] // Add Customer Number to Top of Email
$email_text .= EMAIL_YOUR_CUSTOMER_NUMBER_IS . $_SESSION['customer_id'];
$html_msg['EMAIL_WELCOME'] .= str_replace('\n','',EMAIL_YOUR_CUSTOMER_NUMBER_IS . $_SESSION['customer_id']);
[/B]
if (NEW_SIGNUP_DISCOUNT_COUPON != '' and NEW_SIGNUP_DISCOUNT_COUPON != '0') {

/includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE_NAME/create_account.php
add a new definition:

define('EMAIL_YOUR_CUSTOMER_NUMBER_IS', "\n\n" . 'Your customer number with our store is: ');

Thank you so much DrByte! Very much appreciated! :hug:

You're welcome.

How would one insert the Customer's ID number into the Order Confirmation email messages?
The above does a nice job on the WELCOME message... now for the Order Confirmation messages... ?

Solved... Applied the above from Dr Byte (with a couple of minor edits) to the CLASS file order.php, and then made appropriate edits to the languages file and the email HTML file. :smile:
