{username} in emails

[silvia]

Hi all,

I'm new to NodeBB, so I hope this question is not too stupid I'm trying to send test emails (Settings/Email from the Admin panel) but the {username} doesn't work, it just displays a blank space... Any ideas why?

Thanks

I've realised that, actually, nothing enclosed in curly brackets work

@silvia The actual data sent in to each email is limited, but can be found in the code when searching for the keyword "emailer.send": https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/search?utf8=✓&q=emailer.send

Hi @julian

I've sent some actual emails and the {username} works there but not on the test emails, so I guess problem "sorted". Thanks for the info!
