php - Magento - eMail variables -

i want customize order confirmation , can see can use if statements in template , otherwise can customize sendneworderemail() function select 2 different templates based on information.

however wondering because use extensions offer customer delivery date , timeslot. use placeholder {{layout handle="deliverydate_email_information" order=$order}} display delivery date. 1 looks in order confirmation:

thursday, 28. july, 8pm - 10pm 

but want have these kind of information in 3 placeholders like:

{deliverydate_weekday} {deliverydate_date} {deliverydate_time} 

does knows how can enhance magento system in way possible? assume can implementing own layout handle="deliverydate_email_information" how do this?

thanks!

for {deliverydate_weekday} {deliverydate_date} {deliverydate_time}

you need define variables in sendneworderemail() shown below (define in custom module sending email or extend class. not edit code file):

    //get value of $weekday, $deliverydate , $time extension  $vars = array('deliverydate_weekday' => $weekday,                   'deliverydate_date' => $deliverydate,                   'deliverydate_time' => $time);  $storeid = mage::app()->getstore()->getid(); $translate  = mage::getsingleton('core/translate'); mage::getmodel('core/email_template') ->settemplatesubject($mailsubject) ->sendtransactional($templateid, $sender, $email, $name, $vars, $storeid); 

you can use variables in template files :

{deliverydate_weekday} {deliverydate_date} {deliverydate_time} 

you can write use if directive :

    {{if order.getisnotvirtual()}}          //some code     {{else}}          //some code     {{/if}}
