(SOLVED) How to add customer id to order and welcome emails.

[gofer_p]

I want to add the customer id to the order and welcome emails. How do I do that. I want to use the ID as an account number for each customer.

You can try to add {id} in the following files:
mails/your-language/account.html
mails/your-language/account.txt

no guarantee :-)

Tried that but only{id} shows up in mail and not the actual customer id

[cactusman2]

What about {id_customer}?

[gofer_p]

That did not work either.Still shows {id_customer} in email.

That won't work since those variables aren't passed in the mail template. You must add them by changing line 111 of authentication.php )in PrestaShop v1.3.1) from:

if (!Mail::Send(intval($cookie->id_lang), 'account', 'Welcome!', 
array('{firstname}' => $customer->firstname, '{lastname}' => $customer->lastname, '{email}' => $customer->email, '{passwd}' => Tools::getValue('passwd')), $customer->email, $customer->firstname.' '.$customer->lastname))

to:

if (!Mail::Send(intval($cookie->id_lang), 'account', 'Welcome!', 
array('{id_customer}' => $customer->id, '{firstname}' => $customer->firstname, '{lastname}' => $customer->lastname, '{email}' => $customer->email, '{passwd}' => Tools::getValue('passwd')), $customer->email, $customer->firstname.' '.$customer->lastname))

Then you can use {id_customer} in the account.html and account.txt mail templates.

To do the same for the order_conf.html and order_conf.txt mail templates, you'll need to change lines 308-309 of classes/PaymentModules.php (in PrestaShop v1.3.1) from:

$data = array(                    
'{firstname}' => $customer->firstname,

to:

$data = array(                    
'{id_customer}' => $customer->id,
'{firstname}' => $customer->firstname,
