How do I insert a product image and product price into the send to a friend email?

Please can someone help me.  I have been working on this for hours using different {{var}} placeholders but nothing seems to work.

Thanks
Lisa

Any help would be great.

Pease!!!!

Who do I have to pay to get an answer out of the Magento forum!?!?!?!?!??!!??!

Hi Lisa, this would be a good function! (that’s why I have subscribed to your thread). But maybe just no one have a solution for this yet ... ?

Yay, I did it!!

Anyone who wants to know how, let me know

Lisa

YES!! Please, let me know ...

No problem,

This is what I did and it worked for me;

1) Create a copy of template/catalog/product/view/media.phtml (I called mine media2.phtml) and then edit this file to include the things you want.  For example I deleted the zoom function for the image and changed the resize value.

2) If you want to change how it looks then just add a style in boxes.css and change the class from .main-product-img to your new class.

2) Upload the file to your theme directory.  I uploaded it to the default theme directory too (I haven’t checked which one it is working from but my guess is the default theme).

3) In my “Send product to friend” transactional email I added the following line of code;

{{block type="catalog/product_view" name="product.info" template="catalog/product/view.phtml" block type="catalog/product_view_media2" name="product.info.media2" as="media2" template="catalog/product/view/media2.phtml"}}

4) It brings up errors when I try to preview the template, but works fine from the store.  I guess it needs a product ID to insert the picture.

That is it.

Hope it works for you too.

By the way, I never figured out how to include the product price, mainly because I could not spend another second on this issue.  I am sure it can be done in a similar way.

i cant find any price in order emails. does anyone know how to insert the price?

Try this;

Insert the following code into your “send product to a friend” transactional email

{{block type="catalog/product_view" name="product.info" template="catalog/product/view.phtml" block type="catalog/product_view_price" name="product.price" template="catalog/product/price.phtml"}}

This works for simple and configurable products, but not for grouped products.  I am going to work on it a bit more.

@LisaPrzy: This is great.

Did you find a way to add text in front and after the price, for it to appear on the same line. I.e. “The price is $ 99.99 incl. shipment”

Best regards

The only thing I can think of off-hand is to use a table format, that is if all your prices include shipment.  I am not sure about altering the code but I am sure it can be done.
Kind regards

That could work. Thanks.
