Language for Salutations

Post by flyboy »

When you use the [agnTITLE] tag, how does OpenEMM figure out what language to use? It coming out in German for me.

I'm wondering if it's working off a systemwide default setting. That would be O.K. if I could set it to English, but the intention may have been to make it a unique setting for each Recipient, but I don't see that setting.

Thanks,
Sam

Please define your own salutation in OpenEMM in this menu:

Settings -> Forms of address (yes, bad wording, will be changed in the next release)

In your e-mail use the tag

[agnTITLEFULL type=1]

Replace "1" with the number of the salutation you defined.

Hello

I'm doing some research concerning newsletter systems. Kudos to the OpenEMM dev team. A well equipped newsletter tools!

I'm testing OpenEMM now especially mail personalisation. I tried to define a custom salutation (in german). The tag agnTITLEFULL type= [salutation id] works as described. But the title (e.g. academic grade) is missing (intended behavior?). There is already the title column in the table customer_1_tbl. Is there a hidden tag for the salutation itself (e.g. "Sehr geehrter Herr" or "Dear Mr")? Title, firstname, lastname are available via the agnDB tags.

Thanks for any hints.
