CMS Made Simple Forums

I need to retrieve the $email variable from Frontend Users for a UDT.  UDT's don't seem to like the Smarty Functions given in the FUE module help page, but I'm not very well-versed as to how to use these.  Can soomeone please show me what I should put in the UDT to grab the variable?

what does your UDT look like right now?

To pull the variable from FEU, the UDT will need to have something like this:

global $gCms;
$email = $gCms->smarty->get_template_vars('feu_email');  //or whatever the actual feu email property name is

ok, so this is the UDT I put in not making a change to your addition:

global $gCms;
$email = $gCms->smarty->get_template_vars('feu_email');

mail('$email','Application Approved','Your Application has been approved.');

I know that $email is the FEU variable used to get the user's email.  I'm not sure how to put that here.  This currently doesn't work.  If I replace "$email" with my email, it does mail when it's supposed to, so I know I have it set up in the Events manager correctly.

is "feu_email" the actual name of the email field in FEU?  Check {get_template_vars}.

The email field in FEU is $email

then you need to change your UDT

try

global $gCms;
$email = $gCms->smarty->get_template_vars('email');

mail('$email','Application Approved','Your Application has been approved.');

That didn't work unfortunately.  I then tried this:

global $gCms;
$email = $gCms->smarty->get_template_vars('email');

mail('myemail@yahoo.com','Application Approved','Your Application has been approved $email.');


I got the email and it said "Your Application has been approved $email."  I expected it to show the variable but I guess not.

Any other ideas?

Ok, I got the solution through working out with a friend.  Here it is and it works for anyone else trying to do this:

$extravar = $_REQUEST["m1_input_email"];

mail($extravar,'Profile Updated','Your profile has been updated');


Thanks for everyone's help!
