I have a template with Smarty strings.

If I send the email from inside CiviCRM, Smarty works fine (it shows "Cher Guillaume"):

If I send the same template using a CiviRule, it doesn't work:

although it attaches a .pdf file with Smarty Strings inside that also work fine.

Is there a reason related to CiviRule?

Any idea?

best Regards

Guillaume

There used to be a diffence in the way tokens behave in the Email or PDF API, as far as I know this has been fixed in the latest versions of the extensions Email API and PDF API. Can you check if you have these latest versions installed?

  • Hi Erik, E-mail API is 1.19 and PDF API is 2.4, so I guess up-to-date.

  • And the Smarty switch in your civicrm.settings is on? I assume you are not using a token?

  • this is what I have in civicrm.settings : /** * Enable this constant, if you want to send your email through the smarty * templating engine(allows you to do conditional and more complex logic) * */ if (!defined('CIVICRM_MAIL_SMARTY')) { define( 'CIVICRM_MAIL_SMARTY', 1 ); } I don't use tokens just strings

  • I do recommend using tokens if at all possible :-). As far as the problem goes: I can not really say from a distance if this behaviour is still a bug or something is wrong in your specific installation or use case unfortunately...:-(

  • Ok I understand. This is not a major issue. How can I learn to use tokens?
