Order confirmation emails

Hi

Hopefully someone will be able to help me with my problem. I need separate emails for different  order statuses. For example:
1.) when user orders -he gets email with account details, order details + thank you note
2.) When order is shipped I would like only info that Order was shipped
and so one...

As far as I can see at the moment the same email is sent over and over again, only Subject of email is changed (comfirmed order on..., shiped....)

I guess I could load different files into main order template, but I dont know hot to make php code to work. Something like if -order status "shipped" load this template....

My versions:
Joomla 2.5 VM 2.0.22C

Is that possible. Please help

So you could use a php condition IF for switching to a correct layout in your main order template.

Yes I figured that could work, but I dont know how to write that code. I am new in php. I only understand HTML and CSS... So I would basically need someone who is willing to help me write it. I will be able to make separate email templates my self, by copying original and editing, but to make a link if order is lets say comfirmed thats a mistery to me.

The same logic would be than applyed with payment methods. I will have 2 options for payment and I would like different emails for each.

thanx

I wouldn't recommend something really complicated. There are plenty IF statements in VM template files. Check used syntax and make some probes. Don't forget to post here what you will get.

If anyone will need this in future. I managed to find similar solution here forum http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=116355.0 (I cant belive I overlooked that)
I made some adjustments - posted in upper link (not very elegant ones, but it is working).
So check it out if you need this.
