Customize invoice based on product purchased
Anyone know how to customize this?
I want to show the different message in the invoice based on the product. After customer has completed the order, an invoice be show at the thank you page and another email will be send by email. How can I. add message A invoice A (product A) add message B in invoice B (product B) is there a solution already? |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
You would need to loop through all the products in the order with a foreach loop, and write an if statement inside the loop that tested for the productids.

Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
thanks Total Tech!
How do I create that loop with if statement and how to find the productids? I know how how to create a new invoice. |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
I am a little crunched for time so I am going to try and guide you through without testing what I am telling you, if it doesn't work, don't despair, just let me know. All of this is pseudo code.
First look at: /common_files/customer/main/order_message.tpl Look for: {foreach from=$orders item=order} Right under this is the included invoice template {include file="mail/html/order_invoice.tpl"... We want to switch between templates so setup an if statement: PHP Code:
Above that we need to test for the product, right after the foreach statement that loops through the orders, start another one and check for the product id. if it is found assign the $some_var we referenced in our if statement: PHP Code:
Make sense? |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
You are awesome! Many thanks!!!!
Will try it and let you know whether it works |

Did Mike's example end up working for you? I am looking to do something similar. I will give it a try when I get home in a few hours, but I just wanted to see how things ended up for you. Thanks! |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
Mike,
Thank you for the base that you provided. Could you please see where I am going wrong? My scenario is that I want to display a certain message if a certain product is ordered. As such, I have gone right to mail/html/order_invoice.tpl . Here is the code that I am currently trying. The values in red are values that I have tried in with quotes and without quotes, but I get the same result either way. Code:
{assign var="ordered8" value=0} The output is always "no thank you for you", even if product 8 was ordered and is on the invoice. Is there anything that you can see that I am missing? Thank you very much for any guidance! |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
James, in each template that you are working in you need to make sure that the variable you are trying to access is actually assigned, and that it contains the info you are looking for. Watch my tuts on webmaster mode to see how I would figure this out. Another way to check this is to use print_r Try just putting {$order|@print_r} to output the entire arrays contents.
The reason that your code is not working is very simple, $order does not actually contain the code you are looking for! In this template the products have been assigned to the $products array. To understand why, take a look at /common_files/customer/main/order_message.tpl look at the code that calls /common_files/mail/html/order_invoice.tpl Line 42: Quote:
Smarty is a very easy, forgiving language and it tolerates simple mistakes, but since you are bent on learning I want to point out the ones in this code. (Commented) PHP Code:
Hope that explains it in a way that you can apply elsewhere. Have a good one! -Mike |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
Mike,
Thank you for the detailed reply. I know you are busy and the help is greatly appreciated. I have watched a few of your videos and I will definitely give the smarty one a try. As for this code, this is what I have ended up with. Code:
{assign var=ordered817 value=0} This code appears to have the desired effect; however, is there a better way to condense the two? The only way I can see doing it is by using a few ifelse statements, but that causes its own issue. Doing it that way would mean that I would have to define all of the possible combinations and all of the outputs. Thanks again! |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
James, you are welcome. If you have a large volume of special messages then you should try to find a php solution, like assigning the message to each product in the db. Then you can just loop through the products and foreach output the products special message.
Let's just do it like this (untested psuedo code): HTML Code:

Hmm, I think I follow. Ne is for negative, so you are basically saying not to include that, but what does the ne '' do? If negative nothing? Thanks! |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
ne is for "not equals" (!=). I am saying if this not equals nothing, display it, else display that. There are a thousand ways to word these things, you can test for positive or negative and go from there. Finding the best way, now that is an art. :-)

Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
Hmm, not equals makes more sense. :)
This thread threw me off. http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=60942 The guy asked about negative and you responded ne. :oops: Thanks again for all of the help. I think I understand this now (or at least 1000x more than I did before). |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
Sorry Mike, one more question for you about the variables.
Does everything have to be defined? I used {$order|@print_r} to print the variables and I see nothing related to count. I guess what I am asking is can I count the number of each SKU and use that number in a basic math problem? Here is an example of the logic that I am thinking: HTML Code:
{foreach from=$products item=product} (Just incase I randomly became a genius at this in 4 posts, I checked to see if my attempt at pseudo code worked. Its safe to say it didn't for those of you that may try it in the future. ;) ) |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
To get the total number of rows in the products array, try {$products|@count}
To know what the current index of the array is use {$smarty.foreach.myproducts.index} -to use .index or .iteration you need to name your foreach loop. Example: Quote:
Are you perhaps trying to determine how many of a certain product they bought? Then you would use {$product.amount} |

Mike, That is exactly what I am trying to do. I have 2 products that I am interested in counting on the invoice, multiplying each by a set number, and then adding the mathematical products together, so that my end result is one number. I think you may even tear up on this one, but I managed to come up with what I think is the correct smarty math function (or at least it is pretty close). :-) {math equation="(( y * 9 ) + ( z * 18 ))" y=$county z=$countz} As such, I have edited my code to be this: HTML Code:
{foreach from=$products item=product} I tested the code with an order that had 1 prodid=6 and the only output was Code:
} -------------------------------Edit----------------------- I noticed that I was not defining the countz and county variables anywhere, so I revised my code to this, but I still get the same output. Code:
{foreach from=$products item=product} Thanks! |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
James I can't test the code right now. I am not at my normal IP address. I can tell you what looks suspicious to me:
{assign var=orderedy value={$product.amount}} --There is no need for those internal brackets. Since you are already inside the brackets with your assign, you don't use them again when accessing variables. Try fixing that and let me know. |
Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
Mike,
Thanks! That definitely helped as it is now displaying a number at least! On an invoice that has 5 of product#7 and 1 of product#6, the output is 18. (which is the output of the 1 product#6.) It seems the issue is the or statement. It is not combining the count of each of the products in the or, but rather 1 of them. It seems that I should switch which side of the equation the or is on. This is my attempt, which only outputs "text" for an order with 5 product#7 and 1 product#6. HTML Code:

Re: Customize invoice based on product purchased
Aha! I think I see it. :-)
Smarty cannot use non integer variables in a math equation. Since some of your variables are not assigned like w=$ordered1 then it returns null. "null" doesn't add up and breaks the math equation. You can handle this several ways by assigning a value of 0 to ordered1 etc, or by using |default:0 which is my preference. Consider this code: PHP Code:
BTW, you also have a small typo: x=$orderedz5 |

Brilliant! I was hoping it would just assume non intergers as 0, for purposes of math equations, but that obviously wasn't the case. Everything is working now. Thanks again. Quote:
THESE DAMN Z's!! I also noticed that it was outputting an unexpected number. Upon closer inspection: Quote:
should have been: Quote:
Hopefully that helps someone that comes along later. P.S. for anyone that needs it, I added format="%.2f" to my code in order to display 2 decimal places (like you would need in the case of currency). Code:
{math equation="(( w * 1.96 ) + ( x * 1.50 ) + ( y * 1.50 ) + ( z * 1.50 ))" w=$ordered1|default:0 x=$ordered5|default:0 y=$ordered6|default:0 z=$ordered7|default:0 format="%.2f"} |
