This is just a suggestion. Don't really know if it's doable. To make the email invitation more personable I was wondering if adding the first name of the classmate might be possible. Thanks for all your hard work...Scott www.gbhs1975.com

Hi Scott, Thanks for your comments! I'm not sure which invite email you are referring to, but as Admin, you have the ability to customize the content of several emails the system sends out, including merge fields such as the recipient's name. You can find these options by clicking "Preferences" under "Admin Functions" on the left of your site.

GBHSInvitationEMail.JPG That's what i did. I went into Preferences and used $first_name$ The $school$ $year$ has a web site located at $homepage$ You have been invited by a fellow classmate. Please join us and reunite with your Classmates! I'm attaching the result that I'm getting. Recipient's first name doesn't appear.

I changed it back to the way it was originally. I figured that this invitation was not designed to handle the merge field of the Recipient's names. That's why I had put this down as a suggestion because I have tried to do this several times in the past as I thought this was not a bug but was part of the design for this type of invitation. Scott

Scott, Just a question.... How are you sending the invite? Is it from the Home Page? Or is it from the Classmate Profiles, click on the classmate's name, then click the SEND INVITE button? If from the HOME PAGE, we have no way of knowing the classmate's name. If from the Classmate Profiles, then Classmate's name, does the e-mail work if you insert the $first_name$ ?

Kyle, before I even submitted this I did this from Missing Classmates and Classmate Profiles using $first_name$. Doesn't work when I insert $first_name$ from these. Scott

I'll place this on a programmer's list to take a look.

We realize this is still an open task and we will reply here once it has been addressed.
