Hi Guys,
see form spielratz.org/index.php/rs-form-test.
I have created a selection field "Projekte". User can choose several options- each one has different email behind in the dropdown menue.
I did it like this:
Bitte wählen[d][c]
martin@arkiadesign.de|Ostern
martinsai@zoho.com|Pfingsten

my problem: I want in the admin mail to appear "Ostern" if someone choses "Ostern" in the form. right now in the admin mail there is only the email (but not the title like "Ostern")

thanx for any reply
martin

Please try using the {field_name:text} placeholder. Let me know if it works!

thanx so far, but I dont understand. Let's say the field name in my case is "Ostern". So I have the tag {Ostern:text}. Isnt it?
but where to insert that?
In the admin mail?
In the list, like
martin@arkiadesign.de|{Ostern:text}
martinsai@zoho.com|{Pfingsten:text}

???
thanx, martin

There is no need to change the dropdown items, I was stating that you should use that particular placeholder in the email's body.

right now the admin-email text looks like this:

{Projekte:caption}: {Projekte:value}

{Ostern:text}

{Pfingsten:text}

I found the solution:
I insertet into the admin mail:
{Projekte:text}: {Projekte:value}

Thanx to cosmin cristea!!!

I am glad that you solved your problem.

A clear example and explanations on how these placeholders work can be found here:

In a dropdown item with the following syntax value|label,

for example

This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it | sales

using the {fieldname:value} will return what's in the left side of the | symbol and {fieldname:text} will return what's in the right side.
