Referrer text string in customer email

[AshW]

Hi

I would if anyone could offer some advice please?

I've been setting up the referrer perl script tonight, and was wondering if there's a way to modify the Act_CustomerEmail template so that the email sent to customers includes the referrer text string (i.e. from the advanced user guide - the text string to indicate where people have come from, given as 123 in the example)?

Any adivce would be gratefully received thank you.

Hi Ash,

This would require a script change within the orderscript.pl file. I have asked the development team if they could do this.

Hi Ash,

Okay a bit tricky, but here is what you need to do:

1. Open the OrderScript.pl in your site directory with notepad
2. Find 'sub GenerateCustomerMail' subroutine
3. Go a little further and find this line:

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

4. Insert the following lines after it:

#
# Get the ACTINIC_SOURCE parameter
#
@Response = GetGeneralUD3();
if ($Response[0] == $::SUCCESS)
{
$ACTINIC::B2B->SetXML('SOURCE',$Response[2]);
}

5. Save and close this file
6. Open the Act_CustomerEmail.txt in your site dir with note
7. Insert the title for this field and the following string where you want.

It should be something like this:
"Source : <Actinic:SOURCE/>" (without the speechmarks)

8. Save and close this file also
9. Upload your site

So if the client comes to the site through a referrer, when they place an order, the referrer details can placed where <Actinic:SOURCE/> appears.

Hi Nadeem

The instructions you posted earlier about how to add the referrer text string to the customer email work a treat, and are most appreciated thank you as this feature will be extremely useful for us.
