Cron Email Placeholders

[exchudy]

Hi All

Question or Problem - not sure.

Is {$their->yyy->xxx} placeholders works?
I am trying to use it in cron - email plugin. I wold like to send email notification to some users based on user_id from table. Every day, if particular row date is older than 7 days, simple email huldbe send.

So i use {$their->969->email} but this not works.
As debuq I write var_dump($their); as email message and i gets NULL.

As far as I can see {$their...} is not supported in the email cron (and never was).
(I don't know where it is at all).

You can use "eval" and the J! getUser functions

What you mean by "Use eval", cron email plugin dont allow to eval reciptens. I can eval message body only.

I thought you need it in the message.

So in the end you would like to use something like {$their->{your-userid-element_raw}->email} ? A bit complicated...
As far as I can see {$their...} is no "standard" placeholder.

What is the setup of your userid-element? If you can use a user element with "User data" = email {your-userid-element} may do.
Or an additional element in your form storing the email.

Or use php cron instead of email and do the mailing yourself.
