Thumbnail in the new order e-mails

Question

I'd like to show the product thumbnail in the new orders emails. I tried this code:

<img src="<?php echo Mage:: getThumbnail('catalog/product_media_config')
             ->getMediaUrl($_product->getThumbnail()); ?>" alt="<?php echo $_item->getName() ?>" />

It doesn't work. Any helps?

Answer 1

For thumbanil it is compulsory to select thumbnail image at back end other wise you get default image

you can fetch main image and resize that image for your requirement

 <?php echo Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'image')->resize($size)->__toString(); // here $size is your image size ?>  

Try below solution may it works

$backendModel = $collection->getResource()->getAttribute('media_gallery')->getBackend();
 $backendModel->afterLoad($_product);

and then try below code

 <?php echo Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'image')->resize($size)->__toString(); // here $size is your image size ?>    

Answer 2

Try replacing your code,

<img src="<?php echo Mage::getModel('catalog/product_media_config')->getMediaUrl($_product->getThumbnail()); ?>"  width="135" height="135" alt="<?php echo $_item->getName() ?>" />

to

<img src="<?php echo Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'thumbnail')->resize(135)->__toString(); ?>"  width="135" height="135" alt="<?php echo $_item->getName() ?>" />

You can use thumbnail or image or small_image.
Refresh your Image Cache.

Answer 3

Well, I think you should detail a little bit more your question, e.g. I don't know where did you place the code you mention. Anyway, have you tried to do this:

In the file

app/design/frontend/your-package/your-theme/email/order/items/order/default.phtml

which should be based on

app/design/frontend/base/default/email/order/items/order/default.phtml

you can place this code after <?php $_order = $this->getItem()->getorder(); ?>

<?php $_product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
            ->setStoreId($_item->getOrder()->getStoreId())
            ->load($_item->getProductId());?>

and then, wherever you want to place your product image you should place

<img src="<?php echo Mage::getModel('catalog/product_media_config')
             ->getMediaUrl($_product->getThumbnail()); ?>" 
             alt="<?php echo $_item->getName() ?>" />

Hope this helps you!
