Hi folks!

This is my first post on these forums, and I am hoping one of you can help me achieve a certain effect with CiviCRM + WordPress.

I am modifying the offline template for receipts, and I need to output the name of the contributor on the receipt that gets emailed to said contributor..
I am not sure how to reference this field and output it in the template.
I know that the SMARTY template engine is being used, but I am new to SMARTY.

EXAMPLE:
<tr>
<td {$labelStyle}>
{ts}Financial Type{/ts}
</td>
<td {$valueStyle}>
{$formValues.contributionType_name}
</td>
</tr>

The above example works for the contribution type, and outputs the correct information.
How do I do the same for the person who made the donation?

Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!

For offline contribution receipts we use default system template, check http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/messageTemplates?reset=1

Administer >> Communication >> Message Templates > System Workflow Message >Contributions - Receipt (off-line)

So you will have to modify above template. I think it should already have contributors name.

Thank-you for your reply Kurund Jalmi.

I am editing the correct message template, but I can only call the contributor ID ($contactID).
I know I could use $contactID to obtain the contributor name from the "civicrm_contact" table in the database.
How would I go about obtaining the value I require using CiviCRM syntax?

I believe the changes would have to be applied to "civicrm/CRM/Contribute/Form/Contribution/Confirm.php"
I'm just not sure how to implement the modifications I require.

Solution:
Call {contact.display_name} in the template, this will output the contributor name.

Cheers!
