I've made an alteration to the standard mail_html.php file as I didn't see the point of sending a complete copy of the whole invoice every time an order status was updated.
This now sends a shorter email stating the change in status plus the message in the Description field of the Configuration->Order Statuses option.
Orders Statuses that receive full emails can be added to this line 68:
Code Select
$receive_full_mail_statuses = array("C", "X", "P");
Thought I'd post it in case it was useful to anyone else.

Here's the full code.:
Code Select
<?php
/**
 *
 * Layout for the shopper mail, when they have confirmed an order
 *
 * The addresses are reachable with $this->BTaddress, take a look for an example at shopper_addresses.php
 *
 * With $this->orderDetails['shipmentName'] or paymentName, you get the name of the used paymentmethod/shipmentmethod
 *
 * In the array order you have details and items ($this->orderDetails['details']), the items gather the products, but that is done directly from the cart data
 *
 * $this->orderDetails['details'] contains the raw address data (use the formatted ones, like BTaddress). Interesting information here is,
 * order_number ($this->orderDetails['details']['BT']->order_number), order_pass, coupon_code, order_status, order_status_name,
 * user_currency_rate, created_on, customer_note, ip_address

Thank you for this. This is almost what I was looking for. It will certainly help a lot.
Do you have any idea how could I adapt this code so that it would load different templates for different order status?

Currently I managed to insert different templates (template is called mail_html_pending) with :
echo $this->loadTemplate('pending');
         

Code Select
case "P";
{   
echo strtoupper( JText::_("COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_STATUS_PENDING") );
echo $this->loadTemplate('pending');
break;
};

However I still have problem, since I would like to put this template in front of order status. Currently I get mail with header, order status, my template + footer...
If I could somehow remove this part:
Code Select
else {
echo "Your order number.".$cur_order_no." has Changed Status<br />New Status : ";
switch ($cur_order_status) {
I tryed with just eco, I tryed different combinations but I get error when sending....
Or if I could somehow load template in front of this order status statement....
Any suggestions?

Hi sfinx,
Hope I understand correctly what you are after.
Either move this line:
Code Select
echo "Your order number.".$cur_order_no." has Changed Status<br />New Status : ";
Inside each of the case statements where you want it to appear and leave it out of the ones you don't.
e.g.
Code Select
case "P";
{
echo strtoupper( JText::_("COM_VIRTUEMART_ORDER_STATUS_PENDING") );
echo $this->loadTemplate('pending');
echo "Your order number.".$cur_order_no." has Changed Status<br />New Status : ";
break;
}

OR if this is only for pending orders you could add an "if" statement around the status change message.
e.g.
Code Select

else {
if ($cur_order_status != 'P') {
echo "Your order number.".$cur_order_no." has Changed Status<br />New Status : ";
}
switch ($cur_order_status) {
OR if you want the message after all statuses move the status message to after the case statement.
e.g. to here
Code Select

echo "Your order number.".$cur_order_no." has Changed Status<br />New Status : ";
}
echo "<br />";
echo $order_status_description != "" ? nl2br($order_status_description):"";
echo "<br />";


Hope this helps.

Thank you for this again, however in the mean time I managed to achive this, by copying everything from this part at the bottom of your code:
Code Select
// ADD ORDER STATE LETTERS TO THIS ARRAY WILL SHOW FULL EMAIL
$receive_full_mail_statuses = array("C", "U");
if( in_array($cur_order_status, $receive_full_mail_statuses) ) {
// Shop desc for shopper and vendor
echo $this->loadTemplate('header');

I know this is probably not smartest solution, but it was all I could manage and it is working, so I guess I will leave it at that.
So what I did was:
I deleted all text calling your order status. I made 2 different header files, so they are called depending on status.  I deleted everything in mail_html_shopper.php since it was automaticly loaded after header and I couldnt find the line that is calling it.
For Order status confirmed by shoper I than created seperate file (mail_html_podatki) that has original shopper.php  code in it and loaded it after header.
In case of different statuses I will than just replace podatki  (in case of shiped statusm it is called shiped) with appropriate template and place it where I want it to be.

hopefully that makes sense. Here is my current code:


Code Select
<table align="center"  cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td>
<?php
$cur_order_status = $this->orderDetails['details']['BT']->order_status;
 $cur_order_no = $this->orderDetails['details']['BT']->order_number;

 $qrydata = "SELECT order_status_description FROM #__virtuemart_orderstates WHERE order_status_code ='".$cur_order_status."'";
 $db->setQuery($qrydata);
 $db->query();
 $order_status_description = $db->loadResult();

 // ADD ORDER STATE LETTERS TO THIS ARRAY WILL SHOW FULL EMAIL
 $receive_full_mail_statuses = array("C", "U");
 if( in_array($cur_order_status, $receive_full_mail_statuses) ) {
 // Shop desc for shopper and vendor
 echo $this->loadTemplate('header');
 // Message for shopper or vendor
 echo $this->loadTemplate($this->recipient);
 // render shipto billto adresses
 echo $this->loadTemplate('podatki');
 // render shipto billto adresses
 echo $this->loadTemplate('shopperaddresses');
 // render price list
 echo $this->loadTemplate('pricelist');
 // more infos
 echo $this->loadTemplate($this->recipient . '_more');
