I want to be able to see the email address from an inquiry. I added [#user_email#] to the template for the email inquiry in the notifications but what is displayed in my email is the actual shortcode instead of the email address.

I can confirm this is not working, I will put this to the attention of the developers, thanks.

That shortcode doesn’t work because the person making the enquiry is not always a registered user. Most of the time he’s not, the email is taken from the input field directly.

For the shortcode to work, the email should be in the database, but it’s not most of the time, cause that’s a contact form that doesn’t save anything in your db.

The email is present in the reply-to field of the email header so to see it you just need to click reply.

Let us know,

Thx

I would suggest adding the email to the [#comments#] block as well. I have had to address this with too many clients for it not to be considered an oversight.

I had to dig into /geodirectory/geodirectory-functions/custom_functions.php at around line 236

find:
```
$client_message .= ' ' . __('From :', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN) . ' ' . $yourname . ' ' . __('Phone :', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN) . ' ' . $inq_phone . ' ' . __('Sent from', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN) . ' - <a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '">' . get_option('blogname') . '</a>.';
```
Change to:
```
$client_message .= ' ' . __('From :', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN) . ' ' . $yourname . ' ' . __('Phone :', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN) . ' ' . $inq_phone . ' ' . __('Email :', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN) . ' ' . $youremail . ' ' . __('Sent from', GEODIRECTORY_TEXTDOMAIN) . ' - <a href="' . get_option('siteurl') . '">' . get_option('blogname') . '</a>.';
```

Can the developers confirm whether this is OK to implement? I’m having similar trouble with my site (surecare.co.uk) and really need the ‘Reply to’ email address to show in the [#comments#] section.

Thanks!

Just FYI…

Stiofan added something for this to GeoTheme:

you can add this section
Sender Email : [#sender_email#]
OR
just use
[#sender_email#]

Not sure if this is already in GeoDirectory.
