Missing templates variable for Newsletter ?
The newsletter form mentions that you can use the variable %Contact Email% to print as the subscriber's eMail address.

Are there more variables available ? For instance, I'd like to have one for the recipient's name ? I've tried %Contact Name% and %name%, but the test eMail message just reported an "Unknown Tag" error.

If there are no more variables available how and where can they be added ?

P.S.: I've made sure to use < and > in above variable names, only omitted them here so the forum software wouldn't misinterpret them as HTML tags and swallow them.

You should be able to use <%field_name%> where field_name is any field in your links.def! (Doesn't parse html anymore so you can use < and > ).

If it doesn't work, email me a URL and I'll take a look.

Cheers,

Alex

Nope, it doesn't work.

Note, that this is for the newsletter it doesn't work with not the mass-mailing to link owners. I can only get <%Contact Email%> to work.
