WooCommerce add order note to orderCompleted email - php

Question

I am at my wits end here and have tried every solution I could find online for days and nothing works. The worst part is the problem should be solvable in about 4 lines of code but it just isn't working.
What I need:
When the order completed email goes out I want the order notes (not the customer notes, the actual Order Notes) added into the email. I can filter through them after but I cannot seem to get the notes to appear in the email at all. This is an example of an order note...on an order:
so far I have tried this code:
::PHP::
<?php
$comments = $order->get_customer_order_notes();
if($comments){
echo '<h2>' . _e( 'Order Notes', 'woocommerce' ) . '</h2>';
foreach($comments as $comment) {
echo $comment->comment_content . '<br />';
}
}
?>
which is basically what I need except its targeting the customer_order_notes, which are comments users add into the order when they place it. like: "my dog will pick up my package, his name is lucky"
I have also written a lugin to get the notes based off other peoples, the base is this:
::PHP::
add_action( 'woocommerce_email_order_meta', 'bl_add_order_notes_to_completed_email', 10 );
function bl_add_order_notes_to_completed_email() {
global $woocommerce, $post;
// If the order is not completed then don't continue.
// if ( get_post_status( $post->ID ) != 'wc-completed' ){
// return false;
// }
$args = array(
'post_id' => $post->ID,
'status' => 'approve',
'type' => 'order_note'
);
// Fetch comments
$notes = get_comments( $args );
echo '<h2>' . _e( 'Order Notes', 'woocommerce' ) . '</h2>';
echo '<ul class="order_notes" style="list-style:none; padding-left:0px;">';
// Check that there are order notes
if ( $notes ) {
// Display each order note
foreach( $notes as $note ) {
?>
<li style="padding:0px -10px;">
<div class="note_content" style="background:#d7cad2; padding:10px;">
<?php echo wpautop( wptexturize( $note->comment_content ) ); ?>
</div>
<p class="meta">
<abbr class="exact-date" title="<?php echo $note->comment_date; ?>"><?php printf( __( 'added on %1$s at %2$s', 'woocommerce-customer-order-notes-completed-order-emails' ), date_i18n( wc_date_format(), strtotime( $note->comment_date ) ), date_i18n( wc_time_format(), strtotime( $note->comment_date ) ) ); ?></abbr>
<?php if ( $note->comment_author !== __( 'WooCommerce', 'woocommerce-customer-order-notes-completed-order-emails' ) ) printf( ' ' . __( 'by %s', 'woocommerce-customer-order-notes-completed-order-emails' ), $note->comment_author ); ?>
</p>
</li>
<?php
}
}
echo '</ul>';
}
I don't really know why that isnt working. It looks like it should but it does nothing.
If anyne has a solution that will print those notes into my email...like seen in this image...I will love you forever.

Answer 1

Create a folder called woocommerce in your theme folder. In this folder, create a new folder called emails, and in this folder duplicate the customer-completed-order.php from wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/emails. And add this snippet at line 51: Refer this article
<h2><?php _e( 'Order Notes', 'woocommerce' ); ?></h2>
<?php
$args = array(
'status' => 'approve',
'post_id' => $order->id
);
$comments = get_comments($args);
foreach($comments as $comment) :
echo $comment->comment_content . '<br />';
endforeach;
?>

Answer 2

Try adding this code to your functions.php:
add_action( 'woocommerce_email_before_order_table', 'wc_add_order_notes_to_completed_emails', 10, 1 );
function wc_add_order_notes_to_completed_emails($order) {
if ( $email->id == 'customer_completed_order' ) {
echo '<h2>' . __( 'Order Notes', 'woocommerce' ) . '</h2>';
$order_notes = $order->get_customer_order_notes();
foreach ( $order_notes as $order_note ) {
echo '<p>' . $order_note->comment_content . '<p>';
}
}
}

I have been trying to achieve the same thing as Ecolis and came across a solution which may help other users. I simply wanted to echo an Order Note into an email. In my email template in my child theme folder I wrote the following code:
<?php echo wpautop( wptexturize( make_clickable( $customer_note ) ) ); ?>
Source of code - https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/emails/customer-note.php

Answer 4

Answering this much later; but better than never. The final code I ended up using that worked and is still functioning as of today is the following:
?>
<h2><?php _e( 'Tracking ID', 'woocommerce' ); ?></h2>
<?php
$comments = $order->get_customer_order_notes();
$customer_comments = $order->get_order_notes();
foreach( $comments as $comment ){
if ( strpos( $comment -> comment_content, "MyTracking" ) !== false ){
echo $comment -> comment_content . '<br />';
}
}
foreach( $customer_comments as $comment_2 ){
if ( strpos( $comment_2 -> comment_content, "filterText" ) !== false ){
echo $comment_2 -> comment_content . '<br />';
}
}
This was put inside the email template customer-completed-order.php, taken from the woocommerce plugin's templates/emails/ directory. I placed the code in at the desired location and put the customer-completed-order.php file in my child theme in it's root directory within the following folders: woocommerce/emails/customer-completed-order.php
It then added both the customer and admin notes. I also added a filter, because my main goal was to get the tracking data posted to the admin order notes sent to the customer in their completed order email.

I stumbled across this older thread looking for a way to include the note that the customer places in "Order notes" on the checkout page in the Woocommerce New Order email received by the admin.
The code that #Martyn Gray posted above worked perfectly:
echo wpautop( wptexturize( make_clickable( $customer_note ) ) );
I copied the Woocommerce admin-new-order.php email template into my child theme and added it inside the existing code "user-defined additional content".
This is the original code:
/**
* Show user-defined additional content - this is set in each email's settings.
*/
if ( $additional_content ) {
echo wp_kses_post( wpautop( wptexturize( $additional_content ) ) );
}
This is the updated code:
/**
* Show user-defined additional content - this is set in each email's settings.
*/
if ( $additional_content ) {
echo wp_kses_post( wpautop( wptexturize( $additional_content ) ) );
echo wpautop( wptexturize( make_clickable( $customer_note ) ) );
}
The customer's note now appears on all Woocommerce emails including new order, invoice, etc.

Hope that helps anyone that follows.
