What happened?

Hi Michael,

when I customized the invitation message email from the language pack and added dear {$a->userfullname} at the top of the invitation instead of Good Day! i found the user received the email with {$a->userfullname}, not his real fullname. Any advice on how I can fix that?

What do you think should have happened?

i think to be in the setting in the enrolment method itself not just modification in the language pack.

Steps to reproduce

updated the msg in the language pack
open the course
invite users
email received with

instead of user fullname

Hi,

Three weeks have passed, and no one can assist in this issue. @michael-milette if you have time to advise me how I can fix that or what I have to check,

Hi @micluka

Thank you for your patience. The {$a->userfullname} tag had not been fully implemented. The issue should now be resolved. Please test and let me know if it works for you.

Best regards,

Michael Milette
