Hello,

Is it possible to automatically include the username or full name of the user in the email template? Are there additional fields for this, or is it more involved than that?

Jon

Hi Jon,

The simplest way is this. In the OnSubmit before box put

<?php
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
JRequest::setVar('username', $user->username);
JRequest::setVar('name', $user->name);
?> 

Then you can use {username} and/or {name} in the Email template.

PS This may give odd results if the user isn't registered so the code may need extending/tweaking to cover this possibility.
