Adding another text_greeting language text for order confirmation mail based on product model code

Hi, I am trying to add an condition in order.tpl file which will check specific product code and based on that it will select customized greeting message and sending this in to order confirmation mail to the customer. I executed the below changes via VQMOD but still it is catching old default greeting if condition matches with new language greeting. Do you see any issues with this. Thank you in advance

order.tpl
I was implementing direct changes in order.tpl in my local, yet to apply vqmod but still below the code used by me.

Replacing this
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px;"><?php echo $text_greeting; ?></p>


to

<?php if($product['model']=="BAY-0165") ?>
<?php { ?>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<?php echo $text_one; ?>
</p>
<?php }?>

<?php elseif($option['name']=="Extended Z ") ?>
<?php { ?>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<?php echo $text_two; ?>
</p>

<?php }?>
<?php else?>
<?php { ?>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<?php echo $text_greeting; ?>
</p>
<?php }?>

Do you see any issues with this.

One issue, so far. The OC version is not posted.

Sorry about that, It is OC 2.0.3.1

A solution can be provided, yes. However, by editing core files at the same time you edit an XML file, it may not guarantee its success. Is there a purpose / goal on why these files needs to be edited separately rather than editing entirely from XML?

I was testing why the simple if else was not working. I am not insisting to change in core. Even this .tpl changes can be added to XML without touching core. So you are saying, if i add this changes in XML , will make work? I don't see the logic

In this case, can you post the attached XML file?

Please post the complete file as an attachment in order to troubleshoot these codes.

Attached VQMOD XML

From the VQMod Manager or, if using OCMod, from the admin - > extensions page, do you see any recent entries in the logs?

No recent entries

Replace:
with:
on line 8.

Sorry. It was corrected after that before i upload, but still no mail is sent

No mail is sent. Have you checked the access logs for mail activities from your webserver?

It seems you never used the attached xml to troubleshoot?

There were no indications on this topic where I would mention not to check the XML file. However, I did checked the XML file. Each search lines from the OC version that you have specified are indeed seeking for the right lines from the XML file. Although, it still does not answer my question above if you did checked the access logs from your webserver based on your email activities.

When i edit directly in order.tpl. Mail is sent and if i put that in XML mail is not sent. Also no errors or mail log from my webserver as well

You might also be using multiple XML files, which is fine. Although, I would suggest the use of the VQMod Manager in this case in order to ease the troubleshooting between XML files.
