Adding plain text in "Dynamic Suject"

Hope you can help,

I would like to have plain text (extra) in the dynamic subject

eg
Say field is called FIELDNAME, theh subject would be

Your request dated FIELDNAME

Hope you can help !!

Hi SPABO,

You can build the value in the OnSubmit Before box

<?php
$fieldname = JRequest::getString('fieldname', date('Y-m-d'), 'post');
JRequest::setVar('subject', 'Your request dated '.$fieldname);
?>

Then put subject in the Dynamic Subject box

Bob

Later: added a missing '

Bob,

I put in this in the OnSubmitbefore

<?php
$Wedstrijddatum = JRequest::getString('Wedstrijddatum', date('Y-m-d'), 'post);
JRequest::setVar('subject', 'Uw aanmelding van '.$Wedstrijddatum);
?>

and I get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /var/www/vhosts/golfparkspandersbosch-club.nl/httpdocs/components/com_chronocontact/libraries/customcode.php(64) : eval()'d code on line 3

Hi SPABO,

I missed a ' after post'

$Wedstrijddatum = JRequest::getString('Wedstrijddatum', date('Y-m-d'), 'post');

Excellent Bob!
In this way I could amend al the "emailboxes", simply by changing the text en subject, subject_1, etc

Just for my curiosity, why did you put , date('Y-m-d'), in the code ??
By pm is fine with me, eager to learn!!

Hi SPABO,

The date was to add a default value (today's date) in case the input from the form was empty. Just keeps the subject making sense.

Bob

Okay Bob'

Thanks again !!

How can I set this topic as CLOSED or SOLVED ?
