Magento – Order Confirmation Email

emailpayment

I have a small problem.
Basically I have two payment options on my site.
The one is C/Card which redirects to my providers site.
The second is a bank transfer method with no redirect.

So when using the bank transfer method it sends an order confirmation email to the customer.
but with c/card it does not.

I then changed the following code: /app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/Model/Type/Onepage.php 

$redirectUrl = $this->getQuote()->getPayment()->getOrderPlaceRedirectUrl(); 
 /** 
  * we only want to send to customer about new order when there is no redirect to third party 
  */ 
 if (!$redirectUrl && $order->getCanSendNewEmailFlag()) { 
     try { 
         $order->sendNewOrderEmail(); 
     } catch (Exception $e) { 
         Mage::logException($e); 
     } 
 }

to 

$redirectUrl = $this->getQuote()->getPayment()->getOrderPlaceRedirectUrl(); 
 /** 
  * we only want to send to customer about new order when there is no redirect to third party 
  */ 
 if ($redirectUrl && $order->getCanSendNewEmailFlag()) { 
     try { 
         $order->sendNewOrderEmail(); 
     } catch (Exception $e) { 
         Mage::logException($e); 
     } 
 }

This then switched the whole thing around so now the order confirmation email is sent only when I choose the c/card option with the re-direct and not when I chose the bank trf method.

My question: How do I get it to send the email for both payment options.

If you want the email to be sent in all the cases remove make the code look like this:

$redirectUrl = $this->getQuote()->getPayment()->getOrderPlaceRedirectUrl(); 
if ($order->getCanSendNewEmailFlag()) { 
    try { 
        $order->sendNewOrderEmail(); 
    } catch (Exception $e) { 
        Mage::logException($e); 
    } 
}

But I don't think it's a good idea. This way the customer will receive a confirmation of his order before he actually pays. A clean solution would be to leave the code as it originally was and for the credit card method send the e-mail when the payment confirmation comes back from the card processor.
