Add a UPS "track it" button to customer email
 

Hello all,

Here is a simple little Template Mod I did to add a "Track it!" button to the email order receipt that redirects to the UPS tracking website instead of just printing the tracking number.
This allows the customer to click the button in the email and automatically go to the UPS tracking page instead of having to login and bring up their order.


simply replace /mail/html/order_customer_complete.tpl with the following:


If desired, you can also change (Line 39)


to


This will include a copy of the full invoice instead of the default order data (I personally like that better)

This was done in 4.0.11, hope someone finds this usefull!

Very nicely done! =D>

Display UPS tracking information with one click
 

We want our customers to be able to display UPS tracking information with one click. The preceding code in this thread takes customers to the UPS web site with one click. The code below actually displays the specific UPS tracking information with one click, as well as displaying the UPS web site link.

We have added this code to mail/html/order_customer_processed.tpl and to /mail/html/order_invoice.tpl, which is included in
/mail/html/order_notification_admin.tpl, so that the customer and the administrator both can access the UPS details with equal ease (and, of course, the administrator also can track the order from the Admin Orders module).

Here is the code:

The <span class="normaljump">...</span> statements cause the jumps to display in blue in our emails.

Enjoy!

Ryan,

This will work

<a href="http://trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/InterLabelInquiry.do?origTrackNum=nnnnn "> </a>

but you will have to write a PHP script to automatically place the real tracking number where you see the nnnnn above.

For anyone who uses more than one shipper you can use google to track shipments as well.

Here's what I'm using on a 4.1.6 cart:

{* $Id: order_customer_complete.tpl,v 1.10 2006/03/31 05:51:43 svowl Exp $ *}
{config_load file="$skin_config"}
{include file="mail/html/mail_header.tpl"}

<p />{$lng.eml_dear|substitute:"customer":"`$customer. title` `$customer.firstname` `$customer.lastname`"},

<p />{$lng.eml_order_complete}


<hr size="1" noshade="noshade" />
<p />
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="20%"><b>{$lng.lbl_order_id}:</b></td>
<td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="80%"><tt><b>#{$order.orderid}</b></tt></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>{$lng.lbl_order_date}:</b></td>
<td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
<td><tt><b>{$order.date|date_format:$config.Appear ance.datetime_format}</b></tt></td>
</tr>
{if $order.tracking}
<tr>
<td><b>{$lng.lbl_tracking_number}:</b></td>
<td width="10">&nbsp;</td>
<td><tt>{$order.tracking}</tt></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processRequest?HTMLVersion=5.0&Requester=NES&Agree ToTermsAndConditions=yes&loc=en_US&tracknum={$orde r.tracking}">Click here</a> to track if UPS has received your shipment.</td>
<td width=10></td>
<td>You can also copy and paste your tracking number into the <a href="http://www.ups.com/WebTracking/track?loc=en_US">UPS Tracking Tool</a> if you prefer.</td>
</tr>
{/if}
<tr>
<td colspan="3">{include file="mail/html/order_invoice.tpl"}</td>
</tr>
</table>

{include file="mail/html/signature.tpl}

We only use UPS so this one works well for us. Makes a clickable link to the tracking status of that number directly and also gives the option of using the tool. Further, this brings the invoice into the "order completed" mail sent to the customer.

Looks like the preview shows a space in the middle of {$order.tracking} it shouldn't be there.

Re: Add a UPS "track it" button to customer email
 

anyone have a simple method to display a UPS tracking link/button in the order complete mail if its shipped via UPS, OR a DHL tracking link/button if its shipped via DHL? but not both at the same time.

i would assume a simple IF statment would do the trick, but i'm not sure of how to implement that.

thanks,
