Hi, I just set up a dropdown menu with multiple options that would email the appropriate person based on the dropdown selection.

Similar to your example...
john.dorian@mywebsite.com|John Dorian
webmaster@mywebsite.com|Webmaster Account
postmaster@mywebsite.com|Postmaster Account

Everything is working great with this part.

However, when I set up an Admin or User email, using the variables from the form {Account:value}, it prints the email address instead of the other part after the pipe.

Is there a way for the emails to show what comes after the pipe?

Thanks in advance,
Rick

Hello,

Please refer to the following forum post:

www.rsjoomla.com/customer-support/forum/...-in-email.html#13135

Thanks for the reply Andreic,

I reviewed the post link you mentioned below. As far as I can tell it's a little different circumstance than what I am trying to do.
I know enough programming to be dangerous, so I may be not be understanding.

The form is a Property Maintenance Form.
Based on the property chosen in the drop down menu, the form results will be emailed to the correct person, (which is working great).

However, when the form results are received, the line containing the property name includes the email address, instead of the property name.

For example using this line in the dropdown menu...
name@domain.org|woodbridge meadows

...will give me this result in the confirmation email
Property Name: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

When it should give this result...
Property Name: woodbridge meadows

Here is a link to the form that may help for review...

Hope that helps.
Thanks again,
Rick

did you resolve this? same issue here.

This can be solved by using {option1:text} instead of {option1:value}
