Hello,

I've installed Chronoforms V4 RC3.5.2 on Joomla 2.5.8.
I'm a Chronoforms newbie 😶

I would like to know if it's possible to add/insert some conditions on {field_value} inside the Email Template (or inside the "Show Thanks Message")?

For example, I've built a Recommendation Form for my Web page (it runs correctly) and I would like to insert the Name of the Sender inside the email sent to the Recipient:
<p>{sender_name} invite you to see this Web page</p>

But because the "sender_name" field is not required, I would like to change the sentence to:
<p>You're invited to see this Web page</p>
if the "sender_name" field is empty.

Is it possible to add conditions inside the Email Template (and inside the "Show Thanks Message")?

Thanks a lot for you help🙂

Hello🙂
Nobody have any idea about my post?

Hi chrbar,

You can add PHP to the Email template to do this, but not to the Thank You Message action :-(

The simplest solution is to add a Custom Code action, drag it up before the other two actions and add code like this:

<?php
if ( isset($form->data['sender_name']) && $form->data['sender_name'] ) {
  $form->data['invite'] = $form->data['sender_name']." invites you to see this Web page.";
} else {
  $form->data['invite'] =  "You're invited to see this Web page.";
}
?>

Then use {invite} in the Email and Thank You page.

It runs perfectly!
Thanks a lot Bob🙂

Hello,

I'm not PHP coder... I have to learn it, it'll open a lot of doors to me!

Is it possible to update the code of Bob to change the condition to:
if a field value is X (a specific value)
then
$form->data['invite'] will be A
else
$form->data['invite'] will be B

Thanks for your help🙂

Hi chrbar,

Something like this:

<?php
if ( isset($form->data['sender_name']) && $form->data['sender_name'] ) {
  if ( $form->data['sender_name'] == 'Some Name' ) {
    $form->data['invite'] = "XXX invites you to see this Web page.";
  } else {
    $form->data['invite'] = $form->data['sender_name']." invites you to see this Web page.";
  }
} else {
  $form->data['invite'] =  "You're invited to see this Web page.";
}
?>
