[lazyeye]

Hi,

I need to include some information based on the payment method in the customer email; including a conditional block to test the paymentmethodname variable don't yield any results.

Hi there,

Edit 'OrderScript.pl' in Notepad.

Search for 'CUSTOMER_NAME' you will see:

$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('CUSTOMER_NAME',$sName);


After this line, insert the following:

$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('PAYMENT_METHOD',
$$::g_pPaymentList{$::g_PaymentInfo{METHOD}}{PROMPT});


Insert following where you want the payment method to appear in the email layout:

<Actinic:PAYMENT_METHOD/>

Hi
I am Trying to implement this. Could someone please check that I am doing it correctly:

OrderScript.pl:
# Customer name
#
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('CUSTOMER_NAME',$sName);
#
# Payment Method
#
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('PAYMENT_METHOD',
$$::g_pPaymentList{$::g_PaymentInfo{METHOD}}{PROMPT});
#
# Order number and date


Email Layout:
Dear <actinic:variable name="CustomerNameOnlineXML"/>,

Thank you for shopping at <actinic:variable name="CompanyName"/>.
We have received and are processing the following order:

******************************************************
Order Number: <actinic:variable name="OrderNumberOnlineXML"/>
Order Date: <actinic:variable name="OrderDateOnlineXML"/>
Payment Method: <Actinic:PAYMENT_METHOD/>


When the email is sent through I get this:

We have received and are processing the following order:

******************************************************
Order Number: DA99BG10000014
Order Date: 30 November 2007 15:32 GMT
Payment Method: <Actinic:PAYMENT_METHOD/>


Any help appreciated

Hi Dean,

It may be that this version only works for V8 whereas you originally posted in the V7 forum.

There is another thread with a slightly different variation in the V7 forum here: http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=20490

Hi
Can Anyone help me with this one please. I am using v8 and have implemented the code as above but still getting problems.

Thank You
Dean

Try PaymentMethodName instead of Payment_Method.
ie
<actinic:variable name="PaymentMethodName" />
instead of
<Actinic:PAYMENT_METHOD/>

Thanks for the suggestion.
The email returns:
NETQUOTEVAR:PAYMENTMETHODNAME

When designing the email it looks like it's going to work.
I am sure after reading the KB that the answer is in the OrderScript but I think I must have done something slightly wrong.

Dean,

I have tried this on a local site and it works as mentioned above. I would suggest raising a support ticket @ http://www.actinic.co.uk/support/register.htm.
