Unknown tag: Name ???
Hi,

when validating links there is a form field for mailing a user when his link is rejected. The template for that is email-del.txt and here the tag <%Name%> is used. But what appears in the form field is
In Reply To:
Hello Unknown Tag: 'Name' !
I thought that Column names are automatically available in the templates? 'Name' is the name of a column in the User table, so why is it unknown here?

Apparently this happens only in the form of "validate links", when a link is deleted and the reason why is emailed to the user.

In the form field where you can type a mail to the user the content of the template "email-del.txt" is displayed. In my case it says "Hello Unknown Tag 'Name'!" - and this is sent to the user.

I am using exactly the same tag in other email templates and here they work fine (I copied the tag from the working templates to the email-del.txt template, so there can't be any typos).

So it seems that the tag is just not interpreted by LinksSQL when displaying the text in the validate form field.

Doesn't anybody else have the same problem?
Maybe someone can point me to where I can search for the reason of this behaviour...?

Thanx,
Andreas

More info on this:

other email messages that are sent to users don't have this problem. All tags are parsed correctly. The described behaviour only appears in the validate form....
