if you do not see it as a token, it is probably not exposed. You might have to use the token hook to expose the end date token. Alternatively you can submit a patch (and file an issue) and get the core membership code to expose the join/start/end date tokens

ping us on irc if u need help getting started

Nrackleff, any progress on this that you wouldn't mind sharing?  We are going to need this functionality, and I'm feeling a little (okay, I admit, a lot!) overwhelmed, since I'm totally new to tokens/hooks.

Otherwise, from the brief mentioned at http://civicrm.org/node/480, it appears I essentially need to create a module to make this happen. Or are there instructions somewhere on creating a patch to expose the membership info as tokens?

Is it also possible to include the 'Minimum Fee' as a token? Is doesn't appear so from the list?
We would like to have reminders that say something like ' Dear xx your membership will expire on datexx, please send us a cheque for {minimum fee} made payable to xxx.

Thanks

David

note that these are smarty tokens not civicrm tokens

{$memberParams.end_date} this token does not bring up anything at all in my membership renewal template, just prints the token and not the value.

Is there anything else that needs to be added to the updateMembershipRecord.php to make this work?

ALso, I noticed the first person who posted said they could see/had available some other membership tokens to use, such as member id, membership type in the membership renewal template.  I do not have access to these as tokens either.

There is nothing in the Admin guide or documentation about such features, is there anywhere else to learn about how to use them?

Thanks again,
Renaee.

Lobo,
Apologies,  I am not really sure what is being asked of me to do here. I have turned on the debugging, and I have added the &smartyDebug=1 to the end of the URL when I have the membership renewal message template open or loaded in the browser. The pop up browser window does not have anything that refers to the membership type or ID, and neither the memberParams  either.

This is my first civiCRM install and the first time I have needed to do anything beyond screen customization and CSS, please forgive my ignorance. I now understand the template system of find and replace, similar to the drupal theming system.  So am I meant to be working on the membership renewal file as a .tpl file - as in copy and replace it so then I add in the smarty tokens here?  Or are these smarty tokens meant to work 'out of the box' and show up in the emails by just simply putting the smarty tokens into the body of the email message on screen?

thanks for ongoing support,
Renaee.

Yes - I am trying to have the automated membership renewal notice (triggered by the cron job) to display the membership type my members have, the cost of this membership, and most importantly, the date their membership will expire. I understand that I can simply say, your membership will expire in 30 days time, but I would like to be able to give people a calender date upon which time they must make payment.

The version I am using is 3.0.2

Perhaps this version does not support the smarty tokens for membership values?

However I have a test version of the latest civicrm install, running with drupal on local server under Mamp set up, and I have tested it with this, and cannot insert the membership expiry date on this install either.

Thanks again,
Renaee.
