Formbuilder: how to only show the filled fields

I have a long form where the recipient doesn't have to answer all the questions. After a submit the recipient gets a copy of the form in his mailbox. Now I want only that he receives the filled fields, because that's what he did. And it's user friendly.
Is there a way to achieve this?
I'm using CMS 2.2.12 and Formbuilder 0.8.1.6.

The emails sent by Formbuilder are parsed by Smarty so you can use its logic to show or hide whatever you chose. It only depends on what a field holds when not filed. If it's just empty then you can use something like
Code: Select all
{if !empty($fieldalias)}you submited {$fieldalias}{/if}
if it holds a default value or [unspecified] you just check for equality
Code: Select all
{if $fieldalias != '[unspecified]'}you submitted {$fieldalias} as your answer{/if}
etc...
Keep in mind that $fieldalias is just an example you'll need to use your field names or alias as you use them in your template

Thanks Jo Morg for you quick reply. I'll let you (and others) know if it worked.

Hallo Jo Morg,
I can't figure out your answer. My code is
Code: Select all
<tr><td>{if $fld_91 != "" && $fld_91 != "[niet opgegeven]" }Overige opmerkingen:</td><td> {$fld_91}{/if}</td></tr>
. Where does your code fit in, if I want that in the mail the recipient doesn't see anything?

It's solved. Only the filled fields are showing in the recipients mail. Thanks for your help
