Can you post an article for

1) Send a email for Pending Cart
OR
2) Failed transactions/checkout process

Thank you for your post, it was useful to me.
It works fine on Mangeto 1.5.1

Not sure on which page I had to put the code.
I put it on the controller of my custom payment method juste before the redirection on the success page.

Above code under which page I need to add?

I am using Magento 1.4.1.

Thank you

Branko,could you please tell me that how can I send a email on order failure.

How could I adapt this code to send the invoice as attached file in the mail?

The ‘try’ and ‘catch’ blocks are a way in php to handle exceptions,to avoid unpredictable behavior in case of an error .Thus , these are not comments .Comments are always within // or /* */.

I still can’t get it to send me, the admin , an email, but this is great progress.

One question.. the word ‘try’ in the code, is that a PHP expression, or a comment?

Thanks again for saving my weekend.

This code is written for Magento 1.2. Recently I had an upgrade of the same site I implemented this code to latest Magento 1.3.2.4, and it seems to be working OK. To reply on the “what file It needs to be added to”… you can add it to any custom made view file and just call it like core/template type of block.

Cheers.
