Insert Opportunity variables into Email Templates

hats

Thanks for your reply, but I couldn't get that to work for me. I'm sending the email via the 'Create' plus mark inside an Opportunity record. The email is associated with the Opportunity record, but it looks like the variables are never parsed for replacement.

I've tried all of these without success (both in the subject and in the body of the email). They're not even replaced in the email; eg: the variables still appear to the person who received the email:

$opportunities_name
$Opportunities_name
$Opportunity_name
$opportunity_name
{::Opportunities::name::}

The variables for Accounts are parsed (and show up empty), so I know Sugar is looking through the email. Am I missing something? Thanks again.

Hi John Bievenour,

Sorry, the solution I suggested works only if you parse the email template using bean initialization.

To show fields from additional module in Email Template create, you need to override EmailTemplate bean (modules/EmailTemplates/EmailTemplate.php) and EditView.php (modules/EmailTemplates/EditView.php) and include your new module in dropdown list and initialize it's bean.

Let me know if you are interested in code-level customization and I will point out the functions you need to modify.

Regards.

Thank you for the help,hats. I looked through both of those files and can begin to see what might need changing, but if you wouldn't mind pointing out the functions that need modification I'd really appreciate it.
