I would love to know how to create such a professional looking invoice and more importantly such a professional email response as that one.

Please, Please, Please

You have to go in and edit skin1/mail/order_date.tpl.

Adding HTML to make it look good is a nice feature; however, you have to remember that this template is also sent out in several of the emails that your customers receive. The HTML in those emails won't display properly unless you click the "HTML Mail" check box in your General Settings. HOWEVER, clicking this check box will also enable HTML mail for all your other emails Б─⌠ so they won't display properly.

My suggestion would be that if you want to just simply print out nice invoices, modify your order.php page so that when mode=invoice it displays a different template (that you design, call it anything you want i.e. invoice_template.tpl) contaning the order_date.tpl variables. This way, you won't have to enable HTML mail which will screw up all your other emails.

If, however, you want to go all out and change all your emails and make them HTML compatible, I have 2 caveats for you:

1) In version 3.3.X there are something like 50+ different emails that can be generated by x-cart
2) Not everyone enables HTML to display in their email programs. So formatting it - especially for AOL users can be tough.

Hope that was clear - good luck everyone

I have replied to his solicitation through my PM as "Not a chance". With everything that everyone does on this board to help each other out this made me really chuckle. Thank heaven Shan, Funky, and Boomer (as well as everyone else that gives advice) don't charge to help out or most people on here would be broke by now. Get a life invisible!

I dont see a problem with a small charge for his mod if he wants too. If there was a lot of work put in and if people are happy to pay for it to be done for them then go for it I say. If you want to do it yourselves and save a few $$ then good for you too its just not everyone know how to change things around so well

Hear hear!

I agree with Shan.

This forum does offer a lot of free help, but there's no obligation for everyone who posts here to make available code that they have hours invested in for free. I, too, appreciate all that Shan, Funkydunk, Boomer, and others (DealsonDeals -- nice DHTML menu mod) post on here for free, but I don't expect it.

Just my two cents.
