I don't mean to hijack the thread, but it seems you want to achieve the same as myself, which is to show the "CiviCRM ID", or contact ID (civicrm_contact.id DB field) in a Smarty template. I'm just trying to do it from ThankYou.tpl.

I'm fairly new to everything Smarty/CiviCRM, so I may be missing something here, but this is what I'm doing:

Quote

{crmAPI entity="contact" action="get" var="fCRMID" contact_id=$contactId return="currentId"}
ID: {$fCRMID.$contactId.currentId}

However, I don't get any output from that last line. I have a feeling the $contactID variable isn't available from this template, but that's just a long shot on my behalf. What can I do to output this information from the Thank You-template?

I'm using Joomla 1.5 and CiviCRM 3.1.1.

1. u did hijack the thread, so i split the topic

2. i looked thru the template and did not see contactID, so most likely we are not exposing it. You might want to add this statement:

{debug}

to the top of the ThankYou.tpl and it will show all the smarty variables that are exposed. you might find it being exposed there

3. if contactID is not exposed, u'll need to expose it via a hook
