Totals block missing from confirmation mail?

Question

The totals block below the item table is missing from my confirmation mail. I checked the mail template and the

{{layout handle="sales_email_order_items" order=$order}}

line is in there so that can not be the problem. The totals block is there in print outs so it is working in general, just missing from that mail.

I have no idea where to look and what to do. Any ideas?

Thanks!

You can check in:

app/design/frontend/package/theme/layout/sales.xml

eg:

http/app/design/frontend/default/modern/layout/sales.xml

Find the block:

sales_email_order_items

Mine is looking like this:

<sales_email_order_items>
    <block type="sales/order_email_items" name="items" template="email/order/items.phtml">
        <action method="addItemRender"><type>default</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_default</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
        <action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_grouped</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
        <block type="sales/order_totals" name="order_totals" template="sales/order/totals.phtml">
            <action method="setLabelProperties"><value>colspan="3" align="right" style="padding:3px 9px"</value></action>
            <action method="setValueProperties"><value>align="right" style="padding:3px 9px"</value></action>
            <block type="tax/sales_order_tax" name="tax" template="tax/order/tax.phtml">
                <action method="setIsPlaneMode"><value>1</value></action>
            </block>
        </block>
    </block>
</sales_email_order_items>

As you see there's the order_total which should pull the info you need.

Edit

If you're not sure of what sales.xml is been loaded then it would be useful to add the sales.xml from base/default package into you package/theme.

In this way you'll be sure the file used in your theme will have the sales_email_order_items block in it.
