Magento 1 – E-Mail Template Variables for Taxvat

emailemail-templatesmagento-1template-directive

I need to add the taxvat id into the order confirmation E-Mail but I can´t get it to work.
There is a block
{{var order.getBillingAddress().format('html')}}
and I´ve added
<br/>{{var customer.taxvat}}
right after that.

I would need this taxvat id below the adress or somewhere in it but it doesnt seem to work this way. I´ve made sure there is an id registered within this account but I just can´t fetch it.

Someone in here who has done this before?

When an order is placed, a number of fields are copied from the quote and customer into the order. One of those fields comes from the quote, and is the associated customer's tax VAT ID.

To the point, you should be able to use this in your transactional e-mail templates:

{{var order.customer_taxvat}}

And that will give you what you're looking for. For some technical details, see app/code/core/Mage/Sales/etc/config.xml, ~line 186 and also some details about how fieldset copying works across entities:

Magento – Email template and custom variables acting very strange

In your template you could use a custom block like this

{{block type='fooman_example/email' config_var='SOCIALBUTTONS'}}

and then in your block based on Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template_Filter

<?php
class Fooman_Example_Block_Email extends Mage_Core_Block_Template
{

    protected function _toHtml()
    {
        $customVarValue = '';
        $variable = Mage::getModel('core/variable')
            ->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getStoreId())
            ->loadByCode($this->getConfigVar());
        if ($value = $variable->getValue(Mage_Core_Model_Variable::TYPE_HTML)) {
            $customVarValue = $value;
        }
        return $customVarValue;
    }
}

How to Template ‘sales_email_order_items’ in Magento Transactional Email

Actually it refers to a Layout XML handle you can find in the sales.xml file around line 268.

There you can find the following tags

<sales_email_order_items>
    <block type="sales/order_email_items" name="items" template="email/order/items.phtml">
        <action method="addItemRender"><type>default</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_default</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
        <action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_grouped</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
        <block type="sales/order_totals" name="order_totals" template="sales/order/totals.phtml">
            <action method="setLabelProperties"><value>colspan="3" align="right" style="padding:3px 9px"</value></action>
            <action method="setValueProperties"><value>align="right" style="padding:3px 9px"</value></action>
            <block type="tax/sales_order_tax" name="tax" template="tax/order/tax.phtml">
                <action method="setIsPlaneMode"><value>1</value></action>
            </block>
        </block>
    </block>
    <block type="core/text_list" name="additional.product.info" />
</sales_email_order_items>

You can copy this to your own themes local.xml and edit whatever you need. In your case it would be resetting the template file like so:-

<sales_email_order_items>
    <reference name="items">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <template>yourdirectory/order/items.phtml</template>
        </action>
    </reference>
</sales_email_order_items>
