Hey all,

Im trying to add the category of the order product to the invoice (skin1\mail\html\order_data.tpl) But i cant quite figure out how to add it. Someone mind helping me?

Thanks.

I believe it's $product.category - - - - not positive though, give it a whirl.

Okay,

I tried: {$product.category}
and when I process an invoice, the spot is just blank. So i do not believe that is the proper variable... Any other guesses?

Thanks!

Try $product.categoryid ;o)

Sadly, that did not work as well...

That's probabaly because the variable isn't available - you'll need to assign it at the bottom of the PHP page that drives that template. You'll see "smarty-->assign variables" at the bottom of that page, you need to assign the category variable in there.

Im not quite sure as to what you mean...
The 'original' template is \store\skin1\mail\html\order_invoice.tpl
It includes mail/html/order_data.tpl

I do not quite see a spot where I can include that variable...

Thanks

How would I go about assigning a variable there? I see what you mean, using: {assign var="" value=""}

But how can I get this information? Im still a bit puzzled on how this works...

Thanks...
