TOPIC: How to Disable Un-used System Fields From Showing in Email

In my country, we do not use "State" and "City". So I disable these fields from being displayed in the front-end registration form, thus these 2 blank fields are expected in the back-end.

However, when I setup my "Thank You" email to display [CONTACT_DETAILS], DT Register will send out the email with these fields for these un-used fields (state, city) as empty, so the output email looks odd - like this:

Address
, , Postal Code
Country
Phone
Email

If both State and City were used (as in the U.S.), it will look fine - like this:

Address
City, State, Zip
Country
Phone
Email

So my question is - what do I need to do to display in my own custom format - like this:

Address,
Country, Postal Code

I noticed there are no tags for system fields like [ADDRESS] or [ZIPCODE] or [COUNTRY] available for me to custom built my contact details display. It only allows [CONTACT_DETAILS] as a block of contact-related fields. Also, there are no field labels for this block tag.

Could someone help to explain what can be done for displaying of system fields in building a custom thank you email? Thanks.

Hello. You can modify this file:

/components/com_dtregister/common.php

Search for this:

$contactDetails

You'll find it 3 times where it is constructing the CONTACT_DETAILS tag for various messages. You will also find in this file the layout for other emails... like the one the administrator receives. Thanks.

In common.php, I can find the 3 instances for "$contactDetails".

When I try to modify any of these, nothing seems to change at the email output. I did a simple test like adding html tags like <hr/> or <br/> into the codes to identify which one of the three is responsible for constructing the tag CONTACT_DETAILS.

I noticed that the string $country is not even in the codes, this should appear between the $zip and $phone strings. Any advice as to what I should do to these codes? I just need to have something like this in my thank you email:

Address,
Country, Postal Code
Phone
Email

The City and State fields should not appear.

Many thanks!
