Connor1994 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Hi, Another issue The automatic emails that get sent out to members seem to be causing me some grief, Whenever the emails are sent the dear (PILOT NAME) is blank, the name doesn't show, just like other bits of information Here is roughly what the email tpl files include: <center><div id="wrap"> <div id="content"><div align="left"> <h3><img src="http://www.futura-va.co.uk/images/LOGO.png" alt="" width="183" height="54" align="right" /></h3> <p><br /> <br /> </p> <p>Dear <?php echo $firstname .'

James142 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Posted March 22, 2011 Change <?php echo $firstname .' '. $lastname; ?> With <?php echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname ?> Not sure if it will work, but thats the code I have. Quote
James142 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Damn, it looks like my email isnt giving the name either :S Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Posted March 23, 2011 mines now isnt showing pilot ID etc aswell... rank the lot! Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted March 25, 2011 Administrators Report Posted March 25, 2011 Are you using the variables it says to? Those variables have to be put in that actual email form, not in the template. There's no variables assigned into the template Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 26, 2011 Author Report Posted March 26, 2011 Hi Nabeel, Yeah I have been using them, It just isnt working For the pilot name, I have been using - <?php echo Vars::POST('firstname'); ?> <?php echo Vars::POST('lastname'); ?> Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 Guys please, This really is becoming a large issue. It is one of the main things holding us back CD Quote
James142 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Posted March 27, 2011 Have you ever edited your Registration.php file in core > Registration ? Quote
Moderators mark1million Posted March 27, 2011 Moderators Report Posted March 27, 2011 What you are using seems OK, for the email when they register that is template that should be in your skins folder and its called email_registrationaccepted.tpl, The variables to use in there are, //Firstname Lastname <?php echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname ?> //Firstname Lastname Pilot ID <?php echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname ?> <?php echo PilotData::GetPilotCode($pilot->code, $pilot->pilotid)?> This is what i use OK. Let me know how you get on. Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 yeah, the TPL's are in my skins folder... Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 also, for example, the forgot pword one, The "Dear .... no name" doesn't show the name but shows the new password below, so I am thinking it is the names that are causing the issues Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Posted March 27, 2011 Got it working with just - <?php echo $firstname .' '. $lastname; ?> hmmm? confusing sooooo much Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Posted March 28, 2011 Right, Getting really stressed now, its still not working despite what I said earlier, its not actully, why, when someone registers does all the information go blank like, name, ID, rank etc but in the lost password email all data remains, (Name) <center><div id="wrap"> <div id="content"> <div align="left"> <h3> </h3> <div align="left"> <h3><img src="http://www.futura-va.co.uk/images/LOGO.png" alt="" width="183" height="54" align="right" /></h3> <p><br /> <br /> </p> <p>Dear <?php echo $firstname .'

Moderators mark1million Posted March 28, 2011 Moderators Report Posted March 28, 2011 Does all that stuff really work? Cant you just remove the tables and use <p> Forget the div formatting as well loose all that stuff if i was you. Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Posted March 29, 2011 Will try it, I know its really messy coding but I was just getting stressed when I made it Quote
Moderators Kyle Posted March 31, 2011 Moderators Report Posted March 31, 2011 Still having problems? Try that code because you said the name isn't showing. <?php echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname ?> Quote
Connor1994 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Posted March 31, 2011 Quick question, Can someone put down the code for: Full name - <?php echo $pilot->firstname.' '.$pilot->lastname ?> Pilot ID (FUA***) ? Pilot Email - ? Pilot Rank - ? Last flight - ? Pilot Location - ? also, could I possibly be experiencing issues due to htaccess Quote
Administrators Nabeel Posted March 31, 2011 Administrators Report Posted March 31, 2011 What template is this? Quote
Connor1994 Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Posted April 1, 2011 All of the email ones! Its really frustrating, always worked great in my other VA, tried copying the files and everything. Could it be htaccess I mean, these files are in my skins folder/futura not core like default Quote
