In the Payment Method screen, I know that we can use html in the "Special instructions" - to place a credit card image or whatever...

http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?p=131711#post131711

What about using a Smarty variable in there? Can a $var be used in the special instructions? How?

I tried {$variable} and simply, $variable, but neither worked.

Help? Thanks.

You need to use the Smarty eval function in the template to evaluate Smarty variables. Try changing this in checkout.tpl:

<td>{$payment_methods[payment].payment_details|default:"&nbsp;"}</td>

To this:

{eval var=$payment_methods[payment].payment_details assign="paydtls"}
<td>{$paydtls|default:"&nbsp;"}</td>

Hi Ralph,

THANK YOU. This worked perfectly.

BTW, in case anyone else is searching for this in the future, I put this into /skin1/modules/Checkout_One/checkout_one.tpl instead of checkout.tpl, and used smarty vars in the payment method special instructions -- same result. Perfect!

Thanks,

Jeremy

I searched for this in the future...

IN 4.5.4, edit file:

/common_files/modules/One_Page_Checkout/payment_methods.tpl

find:

{$payment.payment_details}
{if $payment.processor eq "cc_mbookers_wlt.php"}

replace with:

{* BEGIN var in payment details mod *}
{* {$payment.payment_details} *}
{eval var=$payment.payment_details assign="paydtls"}
{$paydtls}
{* END var in payment details mod *}        
{if $payment.processor eq "cc_mbookers_wlt.php"}

(looks like $payment_methods[payment].payment_details became $payment.payment_details sometime between 4.1 and 4.5)

Hope this helps someone (possibly me?) in the future.

It's the future...

Checkout One version 2 made some changes to the template structure.
In version 2.0.2

file:
/skin/common_files/modules/Checkout_One/checkout_one_payment_methods.tpl

FIND:
{$v.payment_details}

REPLACE WITH:

{* BEGIN var in payment details mod *}
{* {$v.payment_details} *}
{eval var=$v.payment_details assign="paydtls"}
{$paydtls}
{* END var in payment details mod *}
