Mail Alerts - Total Weight

[Bobb11]

I'm searching something about adding code for total weight to alert mails. Previously programmer set points to weight...i dont know why. But today he is missing and we cannot call him.

 

I want advice about, how can i added to module "alert mail", function for total weight... In cart is simple. There is a function.

 

But in alert mails module is nothing. Anybody solved this problem? Or what I must edit or add to mailalerts.php?

 

Thanks for any advice

Thanks for reply. I want put total weight for both. But primary is merchant...

okay so let's clarify.

merchant email is handled in mail alerts module

mail to customer is a part of core, and in some cases also related to payment modules that you use.

 

it will be necessary to analyse payment modules that you use and see if these modules uses own emails system.

 

then it will be necessary to modify mailing function, and add for example {total_weight} variable, then you will be able to use it in email templates (email templates used in mail::send function)

Thanks I try it. Btw. I solved mail alerts:

 

I added to mailalerts.php to $tamplate_vars = array {

 

'{product_weight}' => $order->getTotalWeight(),

 

And email template {product_weight}. This is working. I try your advice for mail to customer.

 

Thank you!
