Hi All,

 

Wanted to run this through the community to see if anyone else is currently experiencing the same issue and more importantly if there might be other workaround to fix this.

 

We have used the [[S80:trID]] tag to build a link (i.e. entry / greeting page) and dynamically pass the associated TeamRaiser ID for / within the TeamRaiser's Milestone Autoresponder  message content. 

 

It has been working fine in the past until recently. It's no longer passing any value (null) within the link on the actual email message.

 

Contacted the support (case #00560175) and they indicated it might be a bug (#68676).

 

Thus was wondering if there is not a workaround on this i.e.

 

  • Could we use the parent Blueprint FRID in lieu of this S80:trID where the FRID gets automatically converted properly into the associated child FRIDs by the use of this tag [[S42:smileytongue:arentBPFRID:fr-id]] ? Wanted to confirm with the experts here :smileyhappy: or if anyone has been actually using this in particulary with the TeamRaiser Milestones Autoresponder instead of doing trial error making the actual push on our end to find out ourselves.

 

Let me know. Thanks in advance for your help and time as always

 

regards,

 

Daniel

    So if I understand correctly, you are building a link to your teamraiser in a generic milestone autoresponder using the [S80:trID]] tag, right?

     

    If each of your teamraisers uses different stationary, then you could set the TR ID in a session variable there in the top of the stationary for that event, and then read it in your generic content.

     

    In your stationary (above the content placeholder) put...

     

    [[U0:myid=1500]]


    And the content consumes the session variable like this...

    Hi Brian, thanks for the reply and your time trying to help me out with this :smileyhappy:

     

    Yup you are correct I am building up a link to a teamraiser page (i.e. greeting / entry) in a generic milestone autoresponder using the out-of-the-box [[S80:trID]]. 

     

    What differ is that these teamraisers are actually children of a blueprint in which they are using the same stationary as inherited from the parent BP.  Otherwise that custom session variable you suggested would be a good workaround.. :smileysad:

     

    regards,

    Daniel

    Wanted to share and report back our finding  in case if anyone be encountering similar situation in future.

     

    Using the [[S42:smileytongue:arentBluePrintFRID:fr-id]] works in auto converting the parent TeamRaiser Blueprint FRID into the associated child TeamRaiser FRID.

     

    IMPORTANT Note: Replace that "ParentBluePrintFRID" with the actual FRID of your parent blueprint.

     

    regards,

    Daniel
