Contact tokens syntax
February 15, 2013, 12:16:37 am
Hello,

I am sure that is something really easy but I have been trying for more than an hour without success to print the contact's address in an e-mail using tokens.

Here is what I added in the "Events - Subscription confirmation and receipt (offline)" :

Code: [Select]
       {if contact.custom_2}{contact.custom_2}<br/>{/if}
        {if contact.custom_3}{contact.custom_3}<br/>{/if}
        {contact.first_name} {contact.last_name|upper}<br/>
        {contact.street_address}<br/>
        {if contact.supplemental_address_1}{contact.supplemental_address_1}<br/>{/if}
        {if contact.supplemental_address_2}{contact.supplemental_address_2}<br/>{/if}
        {contact.postal_code} {contact.city}

But then there is a lot of smart errors and the last name is not printed at all (even in normal case).

I have red the smarty documentations, searched the forum but no chance...

Your help will be really appreciated,

Donald Lobo

1. There is a difference between civicrm tokens and smarty tokens (bad design decision on our part a long long time ago)

2. Can you remove the |upper part of the last_name token and see if that fixes it

Yes, without the "|upper" and "if" statements there is no error but is it possible to format the last name in upper case and adding "if" statements to check if a variable is empty or not ?

Thanks

check your civicrm.settings.php file, and fix this constant:

/**                                                                                                                             
 * Enable this constant, if you want to send your email through the smarty                                                       
 * templating engine(allows you to do conditional and more complex logic)                                                       
 *                                                                                                                               
 */
define( 'CIVICRM_MAIL_SMARTY', 0 );

I dont think modifiers like "|upper" will work, but conditionals should work

Thank you, it works better with Smarty enabled.
Here is the code in case of need by somebody else :

Code: [Select]
        {capture assign=institution}{contact.custom_2}{/capture}{if $institution}{$institution}<br/>{/if}
        {capture assign=complement_institution}{contact.custom_3}{/capture}{if $complement_institution}{$complement_institution}<br/>{/if}
        {contact.first_name} {capture assign=last_name}{contact.last_name}{/capture}{$last_name|upper}<br/>
        {contact.street_address}<br/>
        {capture assign=supplemental_address_1}{contact.supplemental_address_1}{/capture}{if $supplemental_address_1}{$supplemental_address_1}<br/>{/if}
        {capture assign=supplemental_address_2}{contact.supplemental_address_2}{/capture}{if $supplemental_address_2}{$supplemental_address_2}<br/>{/if}
        {contact.postal_code} {contact.city}

But I cannot print custom fields for event object, do you have any idea ?
I tried with "{event.custom_2}" and "{$event.custom_2}".

We do not expose event custom fields (or other objects) via tokens as yet. You'll need to do this via hooks. Check the book / wiki / blog on how to create custom tokens
