XF 2.2 How to put username in activity summary email

[beerForo]

1. In the subject of the email like "John7, see what you have missed" or whatever.
2. And in the body.

{name} is not working like with regular emails

Thanks!

Do you mean through this page: "/admin.php?users/email"?

I just ran a test and it seems to be working properly.

No. Activity summary.

The {name} token works for individual emails as the code knows where to pull the name from.

For mass emails, the code does not loop through the entire distribution list and create custom email text for each one.

TL;DR It's not possible out of the box.

Okay thanks. So the way it pulls site name in the subject, there is no username equivalent. {$xf.options.boardTitle}

 

[Paul B]

$xf.options.boardTitle is a single unique variable, $xf.user.username isn't.

Makes sense. Unique but single in our options.
