Missing <%Contact_Name%> in link_expired template

Hi,

Why I don't see the NAME from the user in the link_expired.eml template mail?

Template: Gentile<%if Contact_Name%> <%Contact_Name%><%elsif Name%> <%Name%><%endif%>,
......

But in the link_added template it works.
Template: Gentile Webmaster <%if Contact_Name%> <%Contact_Name%><%elsif Name%> <%Name%><%endif%>,
......

version 3.2.0 german

thanks

andy

Should work fine.

Try (in the extra headers for that email), adding:

Code:
Content-type: text/html

..and then at the end of the template, add:

Code:
<%GT::Template::dump%>

..and then make it so an email is sent (it'll be sent in HTML format, so you should see the output of GT::Template::dump fine)

Definatly no reason I can think of that it wouldn't exist (as its part of the link, not user)

Cheers

Hi,

In FTP, goto /admin/template/luna/local, and find link_expired.eml.

Download it, and put the following code in it:

Code:
To: <%if Name%>"<%Name%>" <<%Email%>><%else%><%Email%><%endif%> 
From: <%config.db_admin_email%> 
Subject: Expiry Notification 
Content-Type: text/html 

Hello<%if Name%> <%Name%><%endif%>, 

The following link<%if expiry_links.length != 1%>s<%endif%> <%if expiry_links.length != 1%>have<%else%>has<%endif%> expired: 

<%loop expiry_links~%> 
    <%Title%> 
        Expiry Date: <%ExpiryDate%> 
        Renewal Payment: <%renewal_url%> 
<%endloop%> 
Please make a payment as soon as possible or contact us for more information. 

Sincerely, 

Links Manager 

<%~-- 
        File        : link_expired.eml 
        Description : This is the e-mail a user receives when their link has 
                      expired. 
        Tags        : The Title, ID, and ExpiryDate of the links that have 
                      expired are in the loop expired_links. 
--%> 

<%GT::Template::dump%>

Thats all I was saying =)

Oh, ahctually - looking at it, the reason its not letting you use Contact_Email, is cos that tag won't be available. Its looping through ALL the links a user has, that have expired - so the only place "Contact_Name" and "Contact_Email" will exist, are between:

Code:
<%loop expiry_links~%> 
    <%Title%> 
        Expiry Date: <%ExpiryDate%> 
        Renewal Payment: <%renewal_url%> 
<%endloop%>

Why exactly do you wanna use Contact_Email/Name?

Cheers
