order number not appearing on email receipt

order number not appearing on email receipt

I am using Universal Email 4, and the order number is not being included in the email receipt to the customer.

When I open the Universal Email Server Behavior, there are two red exclamation marks next to the orders and order detail recordset (see attached). The recordsets are working properly, and I have read in your forums that Dreamweaver will sometimes insert the exclamation marks for 'no apparent reason.' I bring it up just in case that there might be a reason.

I have not edited the code on the email receipt page, so what is there was placed there by UE4 or eCart5. I don't know which created the original file, as both were installed at the time the cart was created.

Here is the section of the code with the order number info in it, from the 'confirm_WAUE_HTML_WA_Universal_Email_4.php' file.


<h2 style="font-size:medium; margin-bottom:7px; color:<Accent_1 />; /* Accent_1 */ " >Email Order Receipt</h2>
<h3 style="font-size:small; margin:2px 0; color:<Text_Dark />; /* Text_Dark */" >Order number: <?php echo ((isset($_SESSION["FQPWholesale_OrderID"]))?$_SESSION["FQPWholesale_OrderID"]:"")?></h3>
<p style="font-size:x-small; margin:2px 0; color:<Global_Gray />; /* Global_Gray */">&nbsp;</p>


Any help would be appreciated.

With eCart the order should be stored into the db on the confirm page. The id for the record that is inserted is stored in a session variable. This same session variable should be what you see in the email receipt.

$_SESSION["FQPWholesale_OrderID"]

If this session variable is not being set you will not see it in the receipt, but if it is set then it should appear in the receipt. Do you know if your session variable that is created in the Store Order Summary server behavior is name like this? If you can post back with the confirm page minus the sensitive details in a zip archive I will take a look to see what I can find for you.

order number not appearing on email receipt

Hi Eric - Attached is a copy of the confirm page. I checked the Store Order Summary, and the Order ID was not bound to the session value. I then added it, and an order number showed up on the next email receipt. The order number, however, was the first existing order number in the orders database and not the one it should have been. The next time I tried it, it was back to no order number on the email receipt again, so that did not resolve the problem.

I have seen an order number appear intermittently, say, 2 or 3 times in the approximately 100 test orders that I put through using the one administrator account, and the four visitor accounts I set up.

I hope you can help me with this problem, as it is the last remaing problems I have before I can upload the site to my client's server for testing and training.

The store is for taking orders only and does not have a payment gateway.

It looks like there might be a code order issue on this page. Currently you have the email occurring immediately after the order is confirmed. Instead the order should be stored in the db so that the session variable can be set properly first. Once the variable has been set the email should contain the correct order number.

The email getting sent before the variable is set would account for what you are experiencing. If you had done more than one test you would be seeing the order id for the previous order rather than the current order. If the test was by itself you would probably not see any id

I have made an update to this page by moving the UE code to be just after the store order summary server behavior. Please give this a try to see if it resolves the problem.

order number not appearing on email receipt

Hi Eric - That did the trick. I am not a programmer, as is so painfully obvious, so your help means a lot. I didn't do anything to alter the code. I wonder why that happened? But it's working now, and that's all I care about at the moment. Thanks for your help and the quick response on this.

I'm curious about how the code got in this order myself. I can look into it further for you if you can post back with some of the settings you used when setting up the checkout wizard and the choices you made in there along with some info about your OS and DW version.

I had the same problem. I did as Eric instructed:

1. Moved UE Send Email block of code to appear beneath the two blocks of code for
// WA eCart Store Cart Details in Db, and
// WA eCart Store Cart Summary in Db

That fixed it.

Thanks. - D
