Add cart quantity to order confirmation email?

[giantvintage]

I want to include the total number of products in my order confirmation emails (which are plain text only).

 

Example:

Shipping (6 items): $12.00

 

I read in another post that I should add the variable {$cart_qties} to my template,

but I tried that and it only displays {$cart_qties} in the email.

 

So then I tried adding:

'{$cart_qties}' => (int)$cart->nbProducts(),
in the file PaymentModule.php

 

but then the checkout page gets stuck and I get no order confirmation email.

 

I'm using 1.6 cart

This seems like it should be simple...what am I doing wrong here?

You're going in the right direction, but your syntax is wrong. Try the following:

'{cart_qties}' => (int)$this->context->cart->nbProducts(),

That's it exactly...works perfect!

 

Wish I'd posted sooner...thanks:)
