All my images are already in the file system.
Displaying product thumbails for the "tell a friend"-emails works great, it simply won't work with the confirmation emails...

Any ideas or suggestions?

no sorry,

I would have thought that the same code inserts would do the trick.

I just thought the image location may be causing the issues.

Jerrad,

I tried your code in 4.0.14 and the picture shows a placeholder but not the actual image. Is there a difference with version 4.0.14? Also, how do I get it to pull the picture externally from a server on the internet rather then embedding it in the message, so spam engines etc don't assume its spam or junk mail. Any ideas?

Thanks!

did anybody get this to work on the order confirmation email?

Guys, how can I get this to work with product options as well?

It works great with the product, but I also need it to show the product option as well.

Any ideas?

Here is the code I used to add the product image to the email invoice, this actually adds an image colum too.

First of two entries:

<TH bgColor="#cccccc">{$lng.lbl_product}</TH>
{* line 15  below added to display product image column on email invoice*}
<TH bgColor="#cccccc">{$lng.lbl_image}</TH>

Then on the same file
find:

{* include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product.productid image_x=$config.Appearance.thumbnail_width product=$product.product tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url *}
<TD align="center">
<img src="{$http_location}/image.php?productid={$product.productid}" width="75"> </TD>

On v4.1.7 its L45 to 47 you could vary the width as well just change the "75" value above.

Enjoy!

I tried this mod in 4.1.9 Gold and it didn't seem to work. Does anyone know how to get this to work for this version of x-cart?

Therefore I put the following code into skin1/mail/html/send2friend.tpl :

{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product.productid image_x=$product.image_x image_y=$product.image_y product=$product.product tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url id="product_thumbnail"}

Which results in:

I did the same with skin1/mail/html/order_data.tpl which results in:
http://home.zonnet.nl/jumpers/invoice.jpg
Now customers can see a thumbnail of the product they ordered in the invoice which shows up in checkout and orderstatus.

Only problem is the order comfirmation email. Somehow the thumbnail(s) of the ordered product(s) won't show up. It just shows the "no image available" thumbnail. Same goes for the wishlist email, btw.

Furthermore, I would like to reduce the size of the thumbnails. Not for the whole shop, but only for the thumbs when they used for the above.

I hope that somebody else finds a way that the order comfirmation email also shows a thumb of the product.
Any advise how to reduce the thumbnails is also welcome.

Thanks!

try it with product.variantid and type=W or a combo of one or the other...

{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$product.variantid image_x=$product.image_x image_y=$product.image_y product=$product.product tmbn_url=$product.tmbn_url id="product_thumbnail" type="W"}

I am a little confused as to what you mean. I copied the code as you put it an it didn't work. What do you mean by

"try it with product.variantid and type=W or a combo of one or the other..."

Here is my sendtofriend code with the code you gave me, it isn't working, should I do something different?
