nVelocity is not converting $user.name to the name. I've tried $user.FirstName and $user.UserName with the same results. What I get in the email is the text '$user.name' Shouldn't this work anywhere in the store? Or have I botched the syntax somehow?

Additionally, we would like to include custom text based on the shipping method selected that includes average shipping times and potential customs verbiage. I'm guessing we'll need to create a scriptlet and call that from the email template?

Ah, that helps. Thank you very much.

I've been trying to nest an If/elseif/end statement inside the #foreach loop and nVelocity doesn't seem to like that.

Example:
#foreach($shipment in $order.Shipments)
<p><i>Ship Method: </i>
#{If} ($shipment.ShipMethodName =="UPS Ground")
After we ship your order UPS will email you with the tracking number.
#{end}</p>
#end

I'm getting a error when attempting to send the email: Encountered "#end\r\n" at line 17, column 1. This only happens when I add the if/then code. I'm guessing the #foreach statement is grabbing the first #end statement and leaving the #if unterminated. I've dug through several of the templates and have yet to find an example of nested statements like this.

Edit: Encapsulating the if/end in brackets eliminates the error, but then the code is not interpreted.

#foreach($shipment in $order.Shipments)
<p>
<i>Ship Method: </i>
#if($shipment.ShipMethodName == "Your Shipping Method Name")
Your Custom Message Here
#end
</p>
#end

On a related note, I'm also working on an order summary for our sales staff. They would like to see the payments including credit card amount and authorization number.

The Customer Order Notification template includes payment method and I copied that block. However, I've noticed nothing is being returned from the Customer Order Notification.

#foreach($payment in $payments)
$payment.PaymentMethodName<br />
$payment.ReferenceNumber<br />
#end

I've tried several orders that have payments and none of them are displaying the payment method or reference number. Can anyone confirm this email template is working for them? This is turning in to one of those days when nothing works right....

#foreach($payment in $order.Payments)
$payment.PaymentMethodName<br />
$payment.ReferenceNumber<br />
#end

Make sure that $payments is available in the template or you can just try the following code by extracting the $payment from $order.Payments as below

Code: Select all

#foreach($payment in $order.Payments)
$payment.PaymentMethodName<br />
$payment.ReferenceNumber<br />
#end

#foreach($transactions in $payments.Transactions)
$transactions.AuthorizationNumber
#end

I've been through the AC wiki, the forums here and the Apache nVelocity site looking at code examples and docs. What I don't see is documentation on the field names. Are most users going through the .Net pages to find the fields?
