Customize formatted billing full name with a custo

Question

On one of my websites I use the Flexible Checkout Fields for WooCommerce to make 20 custom fields. Two of them needed to be a select/dropdown field. I wasn't able to do so via the plugin (didn't want to pay for it. Regret that decision now. It is horrible); so I used the first-name and last-name default tags from WooCommerce to make them into a select field. I use them to select the Mr/Mrs title before the name.

The emails now only show the first-name and last-name fields, as where I would like to have the first-name (Mr/Mrs title select) and my new custom field for the first name.

I found the code below in admin-new-order.php; <p><?php printf( __( 'You have received an order from %s. The order is as follows:', 'woocommerce' ), $order->get_formatted_billing_full_name() ); ?></p>

as where $order->get_formatted_billing_full_name() will display the billing first-name and billing last-name.

Is there a way to display billing first-name and my custom field? And if so, how?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You will need to replace in emails/admin-new-order.php template the following (on line 28):

 <p><?php printf( __( 'You have received an order from %s. The order is as follows:', 'woocommerce' ), $order->get_formatted_billing_full_name() ); ?></p>

By this code (where _billing_voornaam_1_24 is the meta_key of your custom field):

<p><?php 
    $formatted_full_name   = $order->get_billing_first_name();
    $formatted_full_name  .= ' ' . get_post_meta( $order->get_id(), '_billing_voornaam_1_24', true );
    $formatted_full_name  .= ' ' . $order->get_billing_last_name();

    printf( __( 'You have received an order from %s. The order is as follows:', 'woocommerce' ), $formatted_full_name ); ?></p>

This should work if _billing_voornaam_1_24 custom field exists for the order…
