Hi, did you ever figured this out? I have the same issue with 4.0.11 - Invoce looks just fine, send to friend and order email - no image, thanks, Andy

Hi andreas.
I've had no luck solving this. But the way I did it the tell-a-friend
email works properly - complete with product thumbnail.
The emails without images are the order email and wishlist email.

A few days ago walteis posted a topic with something simular, with
the difference that he managed to have a wishlist email which 'only'
misses the first image. The rest of the products al have images!
You can find it here:

No idea what causes this and it's a pity that nobody else seems to
know it either.

Ok, got it to work, but it's really, really ugly.

In mail/html/sendall2friend.tpl add this code:

<!--
{ if $smarty.section.num.first}
{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid="xxxxxx" image_x=$wl_products[0].image_x image_y=$wl_products[0].image_y product=$wl_products[0].product full_url="Y" id="product_thumbnail"}
{/if } 
-->

where xxxxxx is a product that we no longer sell but is still in the database. In reality, xxxxxx just has to be a product ID that is NOT in the products array coming into the wishlist. I chose an old product to ensure that it would never be in that array.

I don't like this kludge one bit, but working is better than not working, eh?

Hi walteis,
Didn't the code in my first post work for you?

{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"}

With this code the tell-a-friend email shows a product thumbnail.

[walteis]

That's the code I used from the start - but if you recall the first one would never display. The little kludge I gave above will solve that problem.

But tell a friend emails can only include one product and wishlist
emails can have several products.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[walteis]

Ah, I see the problem - I listed the wrong template. It should be wishlist_sendall2friend.tpl.

Good catch.

Walt

[Jerrad]

Aha, now I understand the mix-up

But I'm not sure where to put the code in the email template and
what to use for the "xxxxxx" product id.
Is it possible you show your wishlist_sendall2friend.tpl?
And did you tried this yet with the order comfirmation email?

Thanks, walteis

Ok, here's my wishlist_sendall2friend.tpl:

We just created a dummy product (16193) to use.

HTH,

Thanks alot walteis, got the wishlist email working now!

Any idea if it will work this way with the order comfirmation email?
