Hi,
I've read the entries for creating cutomized email bodies. I created Custom Code:

<?php
$Email_body = array();
$Email_body = "Liebe(r) {$form->data['name']} ";
$Email_body = "";
$Email_body
= "vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht. Ich werde mich schnellstmöglich mit Ihnen in Verbindung setzen.";
if ( $form->subject['some_input']
) {
$Email_body
= "Label: {$form->subject['some_input']}";
}
if ( $form->which_calendar['some_input']
) {
$Email_body
= "Label: {$form->which_calendar['some_input']}";
}
if ( $form->amount['some_input']
) {
$Email_body
= "Label: {$form->amount['some_input']}";
}
if ( $form->size['some_input']
) {
$Email_body
= "Label: {$form->size['some_input']}";
}
if ( $form->picture['some_input']
) {
$Email_body
= "Label: {$form->picture['some_input']}";
}

$form->data['Email_template'] = implode("\n", $Email_body);
?>

Afterwards I entered {Email_template} in both "Body" sections of email tab "General" and "Auto template", but neither of These Options worked. I got error message that Body text is empty.

Hi sstiller,

Please debug your PHP. You define $Email_body as an array at the beginning, then redefine it as a series of strings each of which writes over the previous value. Please try removing the array line (and the explode at the end) then use .= to extend the string . . .

<?php
$Email_body  = "<p><strong>Liebe(r) {$form->data['name']} </strong> </p>";
$Email_body .= "<p></p>";
$Email_body .= "<p>vielen Dank für Ihre Nachricht. Ich werde mich schnellstmöglich mit Ihnen in Verbindung setzen.</p>";
. . .

Also in CFv6 you use $this->data('fieldname')
