Hi,

I would like to add the client's username in the e-mail received when placing an order.
I search all the forums but coudn't find any tips. Can anyone help?

Thanks a lot

This code will print the username
<?php
$user = JFactory::getUser();
    echo 'Your username';
      echo $user->get('username');
?>


The order email templates are in the


views/invoice    folder.

also, do all customers have to register? If not, than the code needs to change a little

Thanks Pro!
I was looking for this for a long time

Hi Pro,

I tried to put the piece of code in mail_html_shopperaddresses.php but it returns the administrator's username i/o the user's username.

All my customer's need to register so they have their own username.

Any ideas?

Thanks

did you try and register separate?

&& is this from the backend, or from the frontend?

[holanpan7]

This is from the e-mail I receive when an order is placed.
Instead of showing the customer's username it shows the administrator username in both the e-mail sent to the customer and to the admin.
What do you mean by register separate?

i mean are you trying this with YOUR username?

or has a custom ordered & it said your username>?

[holanpan7]

A customer ordered and it says my username.

Thanks anyway Pro.

Use forum search button more often, please. Thread 'Phone number from customer in billing address' is worth checking.

In fact, it is working fine when I use a customer's account to place an order. The problem is when I update the order status from the back end, it shows the administrator's username.

yes, that will happen

because thats your username.

It is doable, BUT i do not have time to find the right code to do it

Holanpan, is my previous post invisible for you somehow?

Hi Maxim,

Sorry for not replying you. I did search the entire forum before posting but couldn't find an answer.

I searched and found the thread for 'Phone number from customer in billing address'

I tried echo $this->userfields[fields][username][value]; with no luck.
The username information is not in the variable
