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
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?

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:
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:
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:
