Hi Lauren,
I've worked on this, and come to a place where I am able to do what I need, but I have found a real bug in Shopsite at the template level.
Using [-- CustomHTML_Values --] in the Thank You email is working for me to show a URL to the customer so that they can link to a scheduling app, or to another landing page where we can do more selling, or value add to the purchase.
The BUG is this:
[-- CustomHTML_Values --] in the *customer* email template outputs a blob of text, and nothing more. It does not distinguish between the custom field names or the custom field values (this would make sense, but I can't really call it a bug), what IS a bug is that is also does not do anything (except maybe a linefeed) to set off multiple fields from each other... not even a <BR> to separate field01 from field02 etc.
I call this a bug because in the *store manager* email notification, that template at least does separate the custom fields with a <BR> when I look a the raw source of the emails sent.
I'd put this into Feature Requests, but it seems to me that if I were to do that, I'd really want to request the ability to add a parameter to [-- CustomHTML_Values --] so that it could be something like: [-- CustomHTML_Values field01 --] so that each field could be handled with some HTML and styling.
Thank you for your guidance!
Gerry
