CMS Made Simple Forums

This is going to be really simple for many of you but U have to say that I am missing the point here somewhere...

I want to receive an email when someone successfully logs onto my Members area. So I have set this up with FrontEndUsers, and in the settings, under Preferences, I have gone down to the "Notification Settings", selected "on Login", set the email address and email subject, and in the "Notification Email Template" I have the following:
When someone DOES log in I get an email with the content:

Someone has logged in:

But it does not identify WHO has logged in... What am I doing wrong please?

It's not an direct answer to your question but it could help you now and in the future during troubleshooting:

put somewhere in the Notification Email template: and log a FrontEnd User in.

You should get an email with all variables available to the template. It might help you find the one you need.

(I didn't it)

OK, I did that, and what I got back was really useful, but not sure how to use it! This is the bit that was what I need to decypher...:
So it looks like I need to 'do something' with "feu_input_username", but not exactly sure - I've tried embedding in braces ({feu_input_username}) and/or putting a dollar sign in front of it ({$feu_input_username})..... Still just getting a blank answer...

Any thoughts anyone??

Could really do with an answer please, so 'bump'....

if {$feu_input_username} doesn't work I think 'feu_input_username' is a property of another object.

So we'd need to see the relevant part where you found this 'feu_input_username'. If posting please use code tags of this forum and remove sensitive information.

I don't have a FEU install so can't check it for you.

This is the contents of the email I received when following the advice and inserting {get_template_vars} - note that I have NOT embedded it in code form as I want you to see it exactly as it comes into my mailbox, and also note that as recommended I have replaced the sensitive stuff with X's...:

Well, in an html page it would have been more obvious what you need.
I don't know much about this email functionality so I'm not sure if this will be the best way to do it.

Your variable is in {$actionparams['feu_input_username']}

Awesome!!! Solved!!!!!!

Thank you SO MUCH 'velden' - that is exactly what I was looking for!

Apologies for not putting it in as HTML - I can see what you mean now, but that's exactly how it came to me in an email. But no problem - I have learnt something from all of this - many thanks!
