Adding Short Description Below Product Name When Emailing Customer Order Confirmation

[poswisetroy]

I have been asked to include up to 50 chars of the short description text in the order confirmation emails that get sent to the store owner and customer (as some products have the same name, but the short desc contains the info needed to send out the correct variation)

 

Looking at a lot of code, i have found the "mails/en/order_conf_product_list.tpl" page and printed the $list array (but this does not contain the extra info i need); so now all i need to do is work out how/where the $list is built and this is where i am struggling.

 

I am hoping that someone can please point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

After successfully integrating the last request, I have now been asked to update the PDF generation code (and Paypal module) to also include the short description. Can anyone point me to the right files for these please?

 

Thanks
