field added in fields.xml passed as an email tag

Hello there,

I was wondering if it is possible to pull the data from a field added in com_eventbooking/fields.xml and have it as an option in "Available Tags" as an email merge field?

I have created a field for us to enter different web links...that I have displayed on the front end but also want to email this information from the auto emails and reminders...

Can you help?

Need to check the code again if needed. But I think you can try to use this syntax [NAME_OF_FIELD_IN_UPPPERCASE]

it should work for event custom fields in fields.xml

Regards,

Tuan

Hello Tuan,
Thank you for getting back to me - sorry for the delay in responding/testing...

That doesn't seem to work - in the email we tested all we see is [FIELD_CUSTOM_URL] where the URL should be

This is what I have in the xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
<fields name="params">
<fieldset name="basic">
<field name="field_custom_url" type="text" label="Webinar Link" size="250" description=""></field>
<field name="field_speaker" type="text" label="Speaker" size="50" description=""></field>
<field name="field_hours" type="text" label="Number Hours" size="50" description=""></field>
</fieldset>
</fields>
</config>

Notice
<field name="field_custom_url" type="text" label="Webinar Link" size="250" description=""></field> = [FIELD_CUSTOM_URL] as the merge field...

That's strange. Are you using latest version? If so, submit a support ticket so that we can try to check it directly on your site

Ah, note that it is only supported for emails in registration. It is not supported for reminder emails

Tuan
