Hi Team,

We are using the User Pricing feature within CV, what we do is ask the customer to set (or we edit) a users display name to be their usual "Customer Code". In our order confirmation email we would like to include the "Customer Code" i.e the display name within the email.

What do you advise would be the best way to approach this? Is this a scenario where a skin object could be used or is this something we would need you to to set up for us? Is there a way to create custom email tokens for this kind of scenario?

Thanks!

edit* and/or being able to achieve the same through http post using the Order Notification Callback would be ideal

Hi,

A skinobject would not work in this scenario, if you wanted a token [DISPLAYNAME] we would need to add it for you. However there is a possible workaround, if you use the singlepage checkout. Go to the Cart Viper my account module settings there is the option to add "custom checkout fields". 

So you could add one requesting the customer enters their "customer code", then you can then use the token [CUSTOMFIELD1] in the order confirmation email to get this value.

Note you can request up to 3 custom fields during the checkout each with their own token:

[CUSTOMFIELD1]
[CUSTOMFIELD2]
[CUSTOMFIELD3]

It is also possible to link them to dnn profile fields so they will auto-populate.

Thanks
Nigel.

Thanks Nigel,

Sounds like using custom field and linking it to the display name is the way to go - once added will this field automatically be included in the XML when using HTTP Post?

Thanks

Hi,

No they wont be automatically included in the post, however you could reference our CartViper.Modules.Store.dll in the project. Then you could use the OrderController to look up the order via the order ID , once found the custom checkout fields are stored in the property CustomCheckoutProperties on the OrderInfo object.

Note you will need to copy all the dotnetnuke sections from your website web.config file to the notification web.config file so we can access the database and load the config for all the various other items.

Thanks
Nigel.

Hi Nigel,

Is the text that is used when the custom field tokens are output into order emails in one of the resource files? I notice that by default this seems to output something along the lines of  [CUSTOMFIELD1] :  [CUSTOMFIELD1VALUE]

So in the order email at the moment I have a custom field for Order Number and my email reads "Thank you for your order, your order number is ORDER NUMBER : 12345"

I haven't been able to find which resource file controls this as I would like to change the wording around this slightly if possible

I am using single page checkout if that makes a difference

Thanks
