Author Topic: insert joomla user's username and password into receipt email (Read 2120 times)

(joomla 1.5, civi 2.1) I use a contribution page to handle new joomla user registrations while setting up new civiCRM memberships, and, in the process, I would like to send an email to a new user containing their username and password, along with the "thank you for joining" message. I can easily set up the thank you email during contrib page configuration, but how would I include username/password variables? It would also be nice if the thank you email began with "Hello, first_name". If this is not possible, how are others handling this as I'm sure I'm not the only one using civiCRM to sign up new users/members.

Thanks

The upcoming 3.1 release includes the ability to modify system templates used for contribution and membership receipts (along with most other system-generated emails) within the Administration user interface. Contact tokens are available and can be easily inserted in the templates to handle the "Dear {contact.first_name}" case.

I think including the Joomla user name and pw in the receipts will require custom coding - probably implementing the "token hook" to add these as tokens:

Dave,

Can you point to where this customization is available? I am running civi3.1.beta6 on drupal. I am not seeing these options. I tried an option in the email text of the specific contribution page, but it simply came through as: {contact.first_name}.

I would like to add tokens to the receipt emailed when a member renews their membership.

thanks,
maria

System Workflow Message Templates - from Administer >> Configure >> Message Templates

... on the public demo, these are at:
http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/messageTemplates?selectedChild=workflow&reset=1

UPDATE: I just found out that my post above from Dec 2 was INCORRECT. Tokens are NOT supported for System Workflow Templates - so you would have to use the postProcess hook to expose those values as Smarty Variables to the message template and then add them / reference them through the above admin UI.

Dave,

I did find these, but when I modified I received errors. Doesn't like civicrm tokens. ah well. not a priority right now but I may return to this.
