Hello,

I need to access a variable (the email address) in the successMessage. I'm setting the variable in the forgotPasswordHook, and it's accessible in the +emailTo and in the emailTpl, but not in the successMessage. How can I get this variable from the hook to the successMessage?

[[!FormIt?
   &hooks=`spam,forgotPasswordHook,email`
   &emailTpl=`forgotPasswordEmailTpl`
   &emailTo=`[[+email]]`
   &successMessage=`[[$forgotPasswordSuccessMsg]]`
   &validate=`username:required,
              server:required`
]]

$forgotPasswordSuccessMsg:

<p><img src="assets/images/mail_sent_ok.png" alt="" width="32" height="32" /> An email with your new password is sent to <a href="mailto:[[+email]]">[[+email]]</a></p>

Grateful for help.
Thanks

A little bump

This has to be possible to achieve somehow. No clues MODX experts ?!

Assuming that you're setting the placeholder in one of the hooks, try this:

&successMessage=`[[!+placeholdername]]`

I'm not sure it will work, but it's worth a try.

You could also try putting the placeholder on the page outside of the FormIt tag and use setPlaceholder() in a hook.

Uncached trick didn't work. But setPlaceholder did

Thank you.
