How to add two fields to from section Email

Seblod is great! But there are some open questions where it is not that easy to find answers :-)

I'm looking for the solution to add two fields into the 'From (Name / Field)' position. It is working excellent using only one field but all my fantasy was not sufficent to find the right way ... I tried the following combinations:

kontakt_name kontakt_vorname
kontakt_name, kontakt_vorname
kontakt_name &" "& kontakt_voname
#kontakt_name# #kontakt_vorname#
and some more ...

Would it be possible to use two fields?

Thanks

Hi Heinz

Maybe add a new field to the form {concat_name_vorname}, concat the two fields {kontakt_name, kontakt_vorname}, add {concat_name_vorname} to your email.

   

Not sure if there is a better way....

@Bucklash

Many thanks for your feedback. I'm going to test this way. I guess I have to use the SD Field Concat Extension (

http://www.seblod.com/store/extensions/2191) for this. But I cannot find any instructions / handbook / how to do guideance / manual / tutorial for this. Do your have any additional hint to help? Thanks a lot!

Hi Heinz

I have never used SD Concat, though it is great Mr SD created the plugins before he disappeared off the radar, shame about that.

  

The syntax would be:

List of Fields: #kontakt_name#||#kontakt_vorname#
Value Separator: (leave this blank as the default is a space i.e. " ")

A Note:

As far as I can tell, the field will concat the values upon saving, it will not be visible until displaying the values as content.
