Hello @qassimnasir,

What you might want to do is have a look at a relevant email template that includes a date here: Workflow Settings - and see if there is a relevant variable by looking at the template in your OJS, and you can try that to see if meets your needs.

Best,

Roger

Thanks Roger for your kind reply.
I am looking for all possibilities for tags such as “{$authorName}:,
Appreciate your assistance

Hi @rcgillis,

What I believe would be nice with these ‘email templates variables’ are:

  • specify the list of all available variables (right now you see in the template one the ones that are used in that email template)
  • make all variables available for all email templates (IIUC not all variables are available for all email templates)

Regards, Primož

Hello @qassimnasir,

I’ve discovered this thread: Email variables list - OJS 3 - #6 by astevens - that goes into more detail as to why there is not a universal list of email variables (in the later discussions in the post):

I haven’t spotted one for the current date - there may not be one, or it may be tied to a specific template, because, as noted, the email variables are context-specific and often only certain variables can be used in specific emails, since not all variables work across all templates.

This thread also goes into some further details: Shortcode for prepared e-mails - #16 by lsteele

Cheers,

Roger

This is one of things that we have planned on our roadmap to improve during the 3.4 and 3.5 releases.
