Collecting information at checkout / smarty / hook

[mickylmartin]

I am trying to collect info from site wide cookies after a successful check out through complete.tpl.

 

{php}
$foo = $_COOKIE['foo'];
$bar = time() - $_COOKIE['bar'];
{php}

 

Then have the order hook process the info, store it into a global variable or at least make it usable in an admin order notification email.

 

But whatever I do, there seems to be very little room for modifying default whmcs functionality.

You guys do realize that smarty is just a template engine and putting a business logic of sql and php kills its purpose!

 

Is there any way to do it?
