Magento – Shipping information in sales order email

email-templates

Is it possible to replace the shippingDescription string in the order email templates for a custom phtml file to add a login functionality and a text that has to be translated with a custom language translator class.

The easiest way is to rewrite the Mage_Sales_Model_Order class in your own extension adding the function getShippingDescription which is called in the email template (see below)

<td valign="top" style="font-size:12px; padding:7px 9px 9px 9px; border-left:1px solid #EAEAEA; border-bottom:1px solid #EAEAEA; border-right:1px solid #EAEAEA;">
   {{var order.getShippingDescription()}}
   &nbsp;
</td>

The new getShippingDescription method would return a block instance from your module that has the modifications you want.

your rewritten Sales Order class app/code/[codepool]/[Namespace]/[Module]/Model/Sales/Order.php

class [Namespace]_[Module]_Model_Sales_Order extends Mage_Sales_Model_Order
{
   public function getShippingDescription()
   {
      return Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock('core/template')->setTemplate('path/to/your/file.phtml')->toHtml();
   }
}

Magento – Is that possible to add order comment in to order email

If you have the order comment enabled and it is storing in the database properly, it is available in the template as the following macro:

{{var order.getEmailCustomerNote():escape|nl2br}}

the escape directive causes content to be sanitized so nasties can't come through

the nl2br directive keeps customer formatting (carriage returns) so it doesn't turn into one single annoying paragraph, or worse yet, the infinitely long string.

Magento – Magento2 override sales email templates

What you are doing in this code is adding a child block of Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items without any name to Magento\Sales\Block\Order\Email\Items block named "items". If you want to change the template of the "items" block the correct syntax is

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="items">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module::email/items.phtml</argument>
            </action>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>
