Conditional Instructions for Bank Transfer Payment Method

Question

1.7.0.2 CE

I want to provide distinct instructions for the Bank Transfer Payment Method dependent/conditional on the Customers Billing Address Country.

If customer billing address country is AU then use 'Instructions AU' else use 'Instructions USA'

I believe the file that handles the instructions is app/design/frontend/base/default/template/payment/info/banktransfer.phtml

<?php
/**
 * @see Mage_Payment_Block_Info
 */
?>
<p><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($this->getMethod()->getTitle()) ?></p>
<?php if ($this->getInstructions()): ?>
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr>
            <td><?php echo nl2br($this->getInstructions()) ?></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>

Ideally the instructions could be injected from a Static Block

Answer 1

In magento,Payment methods instructions does not taken from CMS static block.

It is basically taken from instructions field of each payment method setting (admin>System>Configuration>Sales>Payment Methods>Select payment method).

For banktransfer payment method,it is taken from admin>System>Configuration>Sales>Payment Methods>Banktransfer Instruction fields

For your case,you want to sperate instructions basis billing country and instructions is manage from cms static block then you can try below solution:

1. create two Cms static blocks
2. rewrite Mage_Payment_Block_Form_Banktransfer block class bcoz getInstructions() function the instruction will show

Code:

<?php class [ModuleNameSpace]_[ModuleName]_Block_Form_Banktransfer extends Mage_Payment_Block_Form_Banktransfer{
        public function getInstructions()
        {       if(!Mage::app()->getStore()->isAdmin():         $checkout = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote();         $billAddress = $checkout->getBillingAddress();      $countryId = $billAddress->getCountryId();      if($countryId=='AU'){           $block = Mage::getModel('cms/block')
                    ->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
                    ->load('AU_blockId');
                     $helper = Mage::helper('cms');
                    $processor = $helper->getBlockTemplateProcessor();
                    $html = $processor->filter($block->getContent());           $this->_instructions = $html;       }else{

                $block = Mage::getModel('cms/block')
                    ->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
                    ->load('blockId_US');
                     $helper = Mage::helper('cms');
                    $processor = $helper->getBlockTemplateProcessor();
                    $html = $processor->filter($block->getContent());           $this->_instructions = $html;       }       endif;
            if (is_null($this->_instructions)) {
                $this->_instructions = $this->getMethod()->getInstructions();
            }
            return $this->_instructions;
        }    }
