Hi Glenskie,

 

If you got $template_vars then try this

 

$test = $template_vars['{order_name}'];

 

Mail templates are not related to smarty, get_template_vars is a smarty method

 

Perhaps context object, and/or hook could solve your needs.

 

Tell us what do you want to achieve to get more accurate tips.

 

Regards
