Fix URL in Order Confirmation email

[hubfub]

Hi,

When I place an order on my VM, the order confirmation email comes through fine BUT the URL at the bottom where it says:

View the order by following the link below. Goes to http://shop/?page=account.order_details&order_id=4

obviously this URL is not the correct one for my shop - how do I correct this?

[jmds]

Check you have the correct site urls entered in the 'URL' and 'SECUREURL' fields in the 'administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg.php' file

[hubfub]

yeah its correct in there

[jmds]

ok, this is a long shot but can you look at the file 'administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_checkout.php and see if lines 1806 and 1807 (or there abouts) read:

Code: [Select]

$shopper_order_link = $sess->url( SECUREURL ."index.php?page=account.order_details&order_id=$order_id", true, false );
$vendor_order_link = $sess->url( SECUREURL ."index2.php?page=order.order_print&order_id=$order_id&pshop_mode=admin", true, false );


[hubfub]

yeah they do... ??

Maybe I can hardcode the URL into these two lines?

I;m new to PHP so how would I do this?

[jmds]

Not an ideal solution but you could try changing the lines to:

Code: [Select]

$shopper_order_link = $sess->url( "http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?page=account.order_details&order_id=$order_id", true, false );
$vendor_order_link = $sess->url( "http://www.yoursite.com/index2.php?page=order.order_print&order_id=$order_id&pshop_mode=admin", true, false );

and see if that helps.

[hubfub]

nope.. no luck

[jmds]

Ok, how about checking the file 'components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/order_emails/confirmation_email.tpl.php' and see if it is hard coded in there.

and if you do not have this file can you please post the version of Virtuemart you are using.

Im using Joomla 1.5.7 with VM 1.1.2

I have this file and I believe the relevant section reads:

Code: [Select]

<?php
// EMAIL FOOTER MESSAGE 
if( $is_email_to_shopper ) {
$footer_html = "<br /><br />".$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER2')."<br />";

if( VM_REGISTRATION_TYPE != 'NO_REGISTRATION' ) {
$footer_html .= "<br /><a title=\"".$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER5')."\" href=\"$order_link\">"
. $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER5')."</a>";
}
$footer_html .= "<br /><br />".$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER3')."<br />";
$footer_html .= $VM_LANG->_('CMN_EMAIL').": <a href=\"mailto:" . $from_email."\">".$from_email."</a>";
// New in version 1.0.5
if( @VM_ONCHECKOUT_SHOW_LEGALINFO == '1' && !empty( $legal_info_title )) {
$footer_html .= "<br /><br />____________________________________________<br />";
$footer_html .= '<h5>'.$legal_info_title.'</h5>';
$footer_html .= $legal_info_html.'<br />';
}
} else {
$footer_html = '<br /><br /><a title="'.$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER5').'" href="'.$order_link.'">'
. $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER5').'</a>';
}
echo $footer_html;
?>

I have not made any modifications to the files.. perhaps I could hardcode the URL in here?

[jmds]

You could try changing the bit that reads:

Code: [Select]

if( VM_REGISTRATION_TYPE != 'NO_REGISTRATION' ) {
$footer_html .= "<br /><a title=\"".$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER5')."\" href=\"$order_link\">"
. $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER5')."</a>";
}


to

Code: [Select]

if( VM_REGISTRATION_TYPE != 'NO_REGISTRATION' ) {
$footer_html .= "<br /><a title=\"".$VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER5')."\" href=\"http://www.yourshop.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=account.order_details&order_id=4$order_id\">"
. $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_CHECKOUT_EMAIL_SHOPPER_HEADER5')."</a>";
}

you will need to change the else bit below to use the same idea. If this does not work I am afraid I may be stumped.

[hubfub]

worked like a charm.. i wonder wat was wrong though before the hardcoding -.-

thanks so much!

[jmds]

Glad to help, just keep a note of the files you have modified so when you upgrade you can reapply the fix if required.

Not sure why you had the problem but if you are running ok now that is the main thing.

Hi,

I am using

• Joomla 1.5.9
• VirtueMart 1.1.3
• Artio JoomSEF 3.2.3 + VirtueMart SEF extension 2.0.0

and my URL and SECUREURL are the same, that is I'm not using https.

I fixed the problem passing $ignoreSEF=true to $sess->url in file

Code: [Select]

administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_checkout.phpat lines 1803-4:
Before:

Code: [Select]

                $shopper_order_link = $sess->url( SECUREURL ."index.php?page=account.order_details&order_id=$order_id", true, false);
                $vendor_order_link = $sess->url( SECUREURL ."index2.php?page=order.order_print&order_id=$order_id&pshop_mode=admin", true, false);After:

Code: [Select]

                $shopper_order_link = $sess->url( SECUREURL ."index.php?page=account.order_details&order_id=$order_id", true, false, true);
                $vendor_order_link = $sess->url( SECUREURL ."index2.php?page=order.order_print&order_id=$order_id&pshop_mode=admin", true, false, true );


FYI, the method is declared in file

Code: [Select]

administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_session.phpat line 499.

Hope this helps somebody else.

Hi and Thank you a.tripicchio for that solution.

Now I am receiving email and my domain is showing up, but in admin email link looks like this:

Code: [Select]

http://www.mydomain.com/index2.php?page=order.order_print&order_id=37&pshop_mode=admin&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1
There isn't administrator in this address that means after click it displays order without joomla and virtuamart interface.

Could you help me to get something like this:

Code: [Select]

http://www.mydomain.com/administrator/index2.php?page=order.order_print&order_id=37&pshop_mode=admin&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1
I tried edit ps_checkout.php and change that but I still receive emails without administrator part in URL address.

[a.tripicchio]

Hi,

I guess you could add the string "administrator/" in $shopper_order_link and $vendor_order_link, just before index.php or index2.php

However, I prefer having the frontend link in the order email, because that's the only way in for my customers. If I want to view an order, I don't use the link, I just go in the backend.
