Magento

I’m sorry if this has been answered in another thread. I did some searching but couldn’t find the answer.

I have a custom template for the confirmation email that goes out to a user who subscribes to a newsletter:

{{var customer.name}} is not returning anything. This same construct works fine in the recommend a wish list but, for some reason, not in the Newsletter confirmation email. Is there something else I need to do to enable this variable on that particular template?

Thank you,
Scott

same problem :-( any help highly appreciated!!!

Try whith {{var subscriber.name}} .
I haven’t try it.

Try whith {{var subscriber.name}} .
I haven’t try it.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I tried it with the same results - there is no name populated in the template.

Sincerely,
Scott

Version 1.0

Plain old {{var name}} worked for me.  It picks up the email user name only - which is friendlier.

Plain old {{var name}} worked for me.

Yes it’s take the first part of the email. It’s not to bad for people who haven’t account. But for login people, I don’t find solution

Having the same problem… any suggestions?

{{var subscriber.CustomerFirstname}}
{{var subscriber.CustomerLastname}}
{{var subscriber.SubscriberEmail}}

These seem to work ok
