In the 'receipt message' field it appears tokens are not supported.

I want the top text of my contribution receipt to say 'Dear [contact name]'.

Is this functionality I'd put into the contribution online receipt? What if i want a different header for each contribution page though.

Ideas?

Yes, you to need insert tokens into the Contribution online receipt.

The receipts are written using Smarty, so you can create a different header for each page using a series of statements such as {if $contributionPageId eq "37"}.

Makes sense.

Counter-question;

Wouldn't it be more intuitive and user-friendly to allow tokens in that section? Is there a huge technical limitation here? Seems like all over CiviCRM tokens are used; why not here?

Most staff won't want to touch the templates with if statements.

I have thought the same myself. From http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,15751 it appears that it may be technically possible (although a lot has changed since 2010).

I suspect that no one with the skills or money to make the modifications has found it to be a pressing issue. I think it would be a great improvement, however I am capable of writing the if statements and work for an organisation that has no money to fund development that isn't absolutely essential, so I have never pursued the issue.
