Hi,

Which email are you trying to send it in? There are a LOT of emails that get sent out Wink

Thats not quite so easy - as <%detailed_url%> would be generated just with 1 category (even if you have more than 1 category assigned, it will just choose the 1st one it comes across)

I'm sending emails to selected linkowners.
<%Title%>
<%Contact_Name%>
<%Adress1%>
<%City%>, <%State%> <%ZIP%>

Hello <%Contact_Name%>,

When I put this tag in, it doesn't show <%detailed_url%>

Hi,

You probably need a custom global to do it. Something like:

get_detailed_url

Code:
sub { 
	return $CFG->{build_detail_url} . "/" . $DB->table('Links')->detailed_url( $_[0] );  
}

Then call with:

Code:
Your detailed page can be found here:  <%get_detailed_url($ID)%>

Hope that helps.

Cheers
