Tokens in User-Driven Message Templates
August 05, 2011, 08:01:06 am
Hello,

I'm trying to setup membership renewal reminders and have inserted some tokens into the user-driven message template and the only ones that seem to be working are contact tokens.

I've tried inserting {domain.name} and the result is blank. (And yes, I do have a domain name specified in the configuration)

I've tried inserting a membership end date in multiple ways: {$memberParams.end_date}, {memberParams.end_date}, $memberParams.end_date. And have set

define( 'CIVICRM_MAIL_SMARTY', 1 );

in the civicrm.settings.php file. The result is either the string itself or blank. (And yes, the individual I sent the email to has a membership)

Are these tokens not available to user-driven templates?

I don't believe that they are.  Although I would love to be proven wrong, as this feature would be nice.  My research hasn't turned up anything about membership tokens (end date, membership type, membership price, etc).

I recently sidestepped this issue by including the verbiage "your membership will expire in 30 days" rather than "your membership will expire on Sept 8th".  It's a cheap solution.
