How to add product images to Order Receipt Email

[elizabeth]

Within the Customer Order Receipt Email, is there a way to add the product image to the Order Receipt, without using a module? In other words, is there a snippet of Miva code that would pull that image into the email based on what is purchased and displayed on the email?

thank you in advance,
elizabeth ;-)

Hey Elizabeth -

If your using the regular thumbnail/fullsize image fields to store your images for your products, then there is no built in code to access them on the emails. You can get a module called the toolkit to get this information:

http://www.mivacentral.com/Merchant2...e=WCW-TOOLKIT5

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="vproduct_find|productfound|l.all_settings:item:code" />
<mvt:if expr="productfound GT 0">
    <mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:key_product:thumbnail">
        <img src="&mvte:key_product:thumbnail;" border="0" width="30" height="20">
    </mvt:if>
</mvt:if>

If you are using the new image system (Additional Images tab) then you can access the images on the confirmation emails without a module. You first have to create an image type and assign the image type to the customer confirmation email page template. You can then access that image using code like this:

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:item:imagetypes:basket">
    <img src="&mvte:item:imagetypes:basket;" alt="&mvt:item:name;" title="&mvt:item:name;">
</mvt:if>

Full instructions can be found here. This shows you how to add images to the basket page, but the same concepts can be applied to the confirmation emails.
