Tokens for Mailing Labels
March 26, 2009, 09:19:36 am
Hi on

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Mail-merge+Tokens+for+Contact+Data

it states

Tokens allow you to include personalized text in email messages (similar to "mail-merge" functionality in a word processor). You can use the tokens listed below in your CiviMail Messages, as well as in the Send Email to Contact(s) feature (accessed from the contact summary screens and search results) AND Mailing Labels.

and further down the page  {contact.contact_id} - Internal Contact ID

so i added {contact.contact_id}  to  the mailing label format and selected some records and print mailing labels.

The result was exactly the same as without {contact.contact_id}

Is this functionality meant to work? Or is the wiki out of date / incorrect

Thanks

Donald Lobo

2. Can you reproduce it on http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/ and if you can please file an issue. We'll fix for 2.2.2

Confirmed on http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/

I added

{contact.contact_id}
{contact.im}
{contact.nick_name}
{contact.do_not_email}

to mailing label format, and none of the added token fields are coming through on action mailing labels.

And I moved 'nick name' so it was on same line as name (to ensure it wasn't just failing for being to many lines) - and ensured that some of the contacts had nicknames - and they weren't showing in Mailing Label (not to suggest this wasn't verified by bails but wasn't making sense to me so thought i would rule a few other options out)
