Magento – When does magento pull transactional emails from template files vs. CMS

email-templatesmagento-1.7

We have configured our emails in the Magento CMS under

system > transactional emails

However, I've noticed now that after placing an order, the email is using the template file located in

/app/locale/en_US/template/email/sales/order_new_guest.html

Why is Magento pulling the email from this file instead of the CMS?

Best Answer

After configuring emails in CMS, you required one more step in order to use those newly created emails. Go to System > Configuration > Sales > Sales Emails And select your new email templates. Default email templates will be selected by default already. You have to change it from the given select list(your newly created email will be at the end of list)

Magento – Magento doesn’t send autogenerated password

The password section in the template should look like this:

<p style="font-size:12px; line-height:16px; margin:0 0 8px 0;"><strong>Your new password is:</strong> {{htmlescape var=$customer.password}}</p>

Magento – pass custom variable/parameter from email template to phtml file

When passing a variable this way:

{{layout handle="sales_email_order_items" order=$order  test=$test}}

You make it available in the email/order/items.phtml template only.
You are able to get it there with: $this->getTest() or $this->getData('test').
To pass it further to the email/order/items/order/default.phtml edit the items.phtml file and add this

$item->setTest($this->getTest());

before calling

<?php echo $this->getItemHtml($_item) ?>

To make it shorter, replace:

<?php echo $this->getItemHtml($_item) ?>

with

<?php echo $this->getItemHtml($_item->setTest($this->getTest())) ?>
