Internetcosmos I have recipients with and without names in the database. So there are three forms of address: male, female, without name Dear Mr. Smith, Dear Mrs. Smith, Dear Reader How does that work in Acymailing?
jvstratum Hi, You could create a custom field "Salutation" for that. Select a radio field and add the options Mr., Mrs. and reader. If required you can set tha value Reader to default, so you will never end up with a blank field.
Internetcosmos This works for newly entered data. I have a lot of data in stock. It does not work afterwards. Also, the salutation can not vary so: (German) Sehr geehrter ..., Sehr geehrte ..., Hallo ... In English it is easier "geehrter" (mal) and "geehrte" (femal) both: Dear It gets complicated when additional titles have to be installed.
jvstratum You could use mass actions to change the value of your custom field for your existing users. Please, take also a look at this thread: https://www.acyba.com/forum/5-how-to/6429-re-multi-lingual-for-custom-fields.html Is related to v5, but I think this does also apply to v6.
Internetcosmos I've already experimented with the mass action. I use that, for example. to temporarily lock recipients. The salutation would then have to be formed externally in a SQL database and then imported. I have very large amounts of data. This takes a while ;-( That's why I'm going to experiment with the if variant. Else does not exist? Can I connect with and / or?
jvstratum Hi, As explained in the above mentioned thread "else" is not supported. I'm not sure, but I think the AND & OR operators are also not supported. You'll find more info about conditional display via this link: https://www.acyba.com/acymailing/159-acymailing-plugin-ifstatements.html
