                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Starting from <em><strong>wpForo 2.0.0</strong> </em>version, the logic of the email shortcodes has been improved.</span></p>
<p><span>E.g.</span></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><span>The <strong><span style="color: #ff0000">red</span> </strong>marked part of the shortcode gets the current object that the field names belong to. Those objects can be:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="color: #ff0000">user_</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #ff0000">owner_</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #ff0000">forum_</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #ff0000">topic_</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="color: #ff0000">post_</span></strong></li>
</ul>
<p><span>The <strong><span style="color: #008000">green</span> </strong>part is the field name of the database table of that object. They can be the field names of default table fields, as well as the field names created either by <a href="https://gvectors.com/product/wpforo-user-custom-fields/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wpForo - User Custom Fields</a> or <a href="https://gvectors.com/product/wpforo-topic-custom-fields/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wpForo - Topic Custom Fields</a> Addons.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">Example with the default field.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><span>This shortocde will display the "<strong><span style="color: #008000">title</span></strong>" of the "<strong><span style="color: #ff0000">forum_</span></strong>" object in email content. If you check the <span style="color: #3366ff">wp_wpforo_forums</span> table in the database, you'll see there is a "title" filed in this table as well.<br /></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">Example with a custom field called "website_url".</span></strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><span class="c-mrkdwn__br" data-stringify-type="paragraph-break"></span><span>This shortocde will display the "<strong><span style="color: #008000">website_url</span></strong>" custom field of the "<strong><span style="color: #ff0000">topic_</span></strong>" object.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt">Rule: _url vs _link in shortcodes</span></strong><em><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt"><br /></span></strong></em></p>
<p>The green part of the shortcode can be url or link. E.g.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong> - </strong><span style="color: #993300"><em>displays not clickable URL</em></span></li>
<li><strong> - </strong><span style="color: #993300"><em>displays clickable link</em></span></li>
<li><strong> - </strong><span style="color: #993300"><em>displays not clickable URL</em></span></li>
<li><strong> - </strong><span style="color: #993300"><em>displays clickable link</em></span></li>
<li><strong> - </strong><span style="color: #993300"><em>displays not clickable URL</em></span></li>
<li><strong> - </strong><span style="color: #993300"><em>displays clickable link</em></span></li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt"><strong><span style="color: #ff6600">All the sortcodes mentioned above work with all wpForo email templates.</span><span style="color: #ff6600"><em><br /></em></span></strong></span></p>]]></content:encoded>
