[DawnMB]

I've tried searching this up and can't seem to figure out how to edit the emails that go out to customer after they place an order in virtuemart. Running 2.x - please, not a programmer, so really simple talk 

Thx.

Hi,

Well i have been looking and searching now for the past 4-5 hours on how to edit this email..... There seem to be plenty of people asking this question but nobody seems to be providing a correct answer.

So can one of the admin staff ect please give us all a correct workable answer to what should be a very simple solution to someone who knows about this.

I am running Joomla! 2.5.9, with VirtueMart 2.0.18a, and what i need to do is change at the bottom of the email that the customer gets when they have placed an order, where it says 'Total' i would like to put in brackets afterward the word (inc VAT) and also on the PDF attachment. Also could we have the file or files to edit please not just the folder.

Many thanks in advance for any help

HI

All the mail like this goes from the views invoice you may check it and make the changes as required

[GJC Web Design]

The email is made up of multiple templates in components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl

starts with components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/mail_html.php which calls various other templates

Code Select Expand

<?php
// Shop desc for shopper and vendor
if ($this->recipient == 'shopper') {
    echo $this->loadTemplate('header');
}
// Message for shopper or vendor
echo $this->loadTemplate($this->recipient);
// render shipto billto adresses
echo $this->loadTemplate('shopperaddresses');
// render price list
echo $this->loadTemplate('pricelist');
// more infos
echo $this->loadTemplate($this->recipient . '_more');
// end of mail
echo $this->loadTemplate('footer');
?>

These templates load other templates e.g mail_html_pricelist.php loads invoice_items.php

if your just changing texts use the language files e.g. COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_PRINT_TOTAL in language/en-GB/en-GB.com_virtuemart.ini etc
