I've scanned many posts but cannot get to bottom of this one.
I have created a custom Customer Information attribute and I need it to display on the New Order transactional email.
Any ideas? I have tried {{var customer.getAccountno()}}
and a few others but it won't display.
My Code:
$installer = $this;
$installer->startSetup();
$installer->addAttribute("customer", "accountno", array(
"type" => "varchar",
"backend" => "",
"label" => "Account Number",
"input" => "text",
"source" => "",
"visible" => true,
"required" => false,
"default" => "",
"frontend" => "",
"unique" => false,
"note" => ""
));
$attribute = Mage::getSingleton("eav/config")->getAttribute("customer", "accountno");
$used_in_forms=array();
$used_in_forms[]="adminhtml_customer";
$attribute->setData("used_in_forms", $used_in_forms)
->setData("is_used_for_customer_segment", true)
->setData("is_system", 0)
->setData("is_user_defined", 1)
->setData("is_visible", 1)
->setData("sort_order", 100)
;
$attribute->save();
$installer->endSetup();
Best Answer
to add the customer attribute in new order email, change the below file
Rewrite first
sendNewOrderEmail()
fromapp/code/core/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php
to your local codepool. Add$email
in the template parameters.Now you can access this variable like
{{var info}}
in the new sales order email template.
