Confirmation Email--add two things

2 questions I can't really find the answer for. I tried to add it manually to the confirmation html file but it didnt' work

1. I need to add a link to that email. We are allowing the customer to batch upload some pictures and to do this I need to add a generic link to the confirmation email...for example

   To upload your pictures please visit https://www.domain.com/upload

that should be easy but it won't work.I'm using 1.39

2. I need to add "shipment method" to the confirmation email. So the client can tell it it is a local delivery or instore pickup...both are free

any ideas?

thanks

Can't help you with number 2. For number one - why doesn't it work? Is the / in the URL causing trouble? I had trouble adding text to my emails because I wanted to use an apostrophe - turns out you have to "escape" it first. Same goes for the forward slash. I think the escape key for that is another forward slash, but googling php escapes text might find you a better explanation/tutorial. Or you can try posting everything you added to the confirmation file, and someone will be able to point out what you need to tweak on it.

#2 - The shipping method selected by the customer is already included in the confirmation email.

Thank you for the reply.

I figured out the shipping issue, it is a different issue that is causing the problem

For the ability to add the link to the confirmation email it would be great if anyone has any idea what is wrong with this. Below is my code from the file located in
/email/email_template_checkout.html
