where edit tournament email? · **Released**: 11-02-2010

Emails are going out to tournament participants, but they do not include a link to their tournament, although the email promises one. where do I edit the content of this email, and what code to I place in it to link to the correct torunament?

Here is the email:

Hello milo,
the Free Cell -Tournament just started.
Click here to view the Tournament and make your match.

How do I make the "click here" work? I know Mr. Zeropage is no longer around here, but as long as this mod has been around, somebody must have found a way to fix this. Hopefully they will share.

Yoo hoo. How can I fix this?

Did you check Admin CP >> Arcade >> Notifications to make sure the sytax of the variables was correct? Also, what is the link to a tournament supposed to look like on your forum and what is it sending out instead. A little more info will help.

I'm just using what came out of the box. Here's the admincp version of the message I posted in my question.

Quote:

Hello %NAME%,

the %GAME%-Tournament just started.

%LINK|Click here% to view the Tournament and make your match.

Not sure what you mean about what it should look like. The content is exactly what I posted above, and as far as appearance goes, I don't care. I just want it to work like the link it promises to be.

All emails sending out alleged links don't work. I haven't changed anything in the Notification Messages, and don't know enough about the sytax to tell you if it is correct. All I can say is it is the default, and it doesnt work.

Does that give you the info you need?

As long as this mod has been around, I'm surprised this hasn't been fixed already.

Your workaround will get me through. Thanks a lot!

By appearance, I meant to post a link to a typical tournament on your site so we could see if the syntax was correct. That way we could tell if it was being formatted wrong for some reason. However, I believe it does this because the variables are meant for PMs and typically not emails. It's not been corrected because I don't think it's been mentioned before.
