{carrier} and {date} in Shipped email not working

[grega33]

I would like to use {date} (date of order placement) and {carrier} also in "shipped" e-mail template. If I simply use {carrier} and {date} as in a "order_conf" email it does not work - string "{carrier}" and "{date}" is displayed instead of actual carrier and date.

 

I have found this post https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/230876-solved-showing-carrier-in-email-template-not-working/ but it is for PrestaShop 1.5 and I could not find analogy with PS 1.6.

 

Please help!

Hi, that is because these variables don't exist, you need to create these variables and pass them to smarty in the script that send the email (i think it is in OrderState class or AdminOrdersController.php file)

Hi there!

 

I'm still praying for a solution in order to display {carrier} and {date} in Shipped email. Currently in a Shipped e-mail I got "{carrier}" and "{date}" instead of real carrier name and date of order.

 

I'll be gratefull for your help.

 

Kind Regards,

Grega

In case you're still looking for a solution in PS 1.6:

 

Go to Controllers / Admin / AdminOrdersController.php

 

On line 522 you'll find this code:

$carrier = new Carrier($order->id_carrier, $order->id_lang);
						$templateVars = array();

Change it to this, and add the correct variables you need. I personally added carrier and delay.

$carrier = new Carrier($order->id_carrier, $order->id_lang);	
		$templateVars = array(
					'{carrier}' => $virtual_product ? Tools::displayError('No carrier') : $carrier->name,
					'{delay}' => $carrier->delay
				);

You can find the variables you need (such as date) in classes / paymentmodule.php starting on line 693.

 

Hope it helps.
