Author Topic: Smarty tokens not working in CiviMail (Read 1870 times)

I am no doubt missing something from this post, and I've searched everywhere and come up with zip so I'm going to ask.
I've added the define('CIVICRM_MAIL_SMARTY', 1); to my civicrm.settings.php file, confirmed it is still there, but I still can't get special tokens to operate.
I specifically want to use a token like the one listed in the post shown here (http://civicrm.org/node/480) where they talk about the token {contribution.amount} or I'd even like to use one from the membership table {membership.end_date} but they don't populate with anything.

I can use the standard tokens such as {contacts.first_name}, but nothing else seems to work. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

hi,

These tokens value are not get replaced since these are not standard tokens and are not already registered in CiviCRM.

So I would like to do this using token hooks :
1. Register these tokens in CiviCRM.
2. Retrieve values w/ some business logic.

also you might want to read more information about token hooks :

hope this help
