customize Text email template used to send order completion emails

[annpaul]

Two questions:

1. I noticed that the HTML email correctly includes the order number wherever it should be present. But when I changed the Order Mail Format (in Configuration/Orders) to Text, it is missing the order number. The first line of the email looks like this:

Your order number:

Order confirmedYou bought and confirmed an order in ---- Store shop online.You can check the status of your order by going to your account

your order password = p_vb3NbdLH


Your order status is: Confirmed


view your order online : https://-----.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=orders&layout=details&order_number=6HU8013&order_pass=p_vb3NbdLH

Your comment:  testing notes

As you can see, the order link at the bottom does have the order number but it is missing at the top.

Besides this, there are several formatting issues with this emails (missing capitalization, spaces, punctuation etc.). So I am guessing there must be a template somewhere that is generating this email and I need to fix that template, right? Where can I find it?


2. Is it possible to send HTML email to the customer and Text email to the vendor upon order completion?

thank you!

Found it.
I searched in vm files for "your order number:" using Agent ransack and found out the hard way how emails are being created. It is not pretty!

Can someone please provide some help on this though:

1. You need to override and customise the layout files starting with "mail_" in the "components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/" folder.

2. No, you can not simultaneously have HTML and Text formats for different emails.

Alternatively, you can use VP Email Manager (https://www.virtueplanet.com/extensions/vp-email-manager), which allows you to edit all VirtueMart emails using standard Joomla Editors.
