Template and Email Variables

This document lists all special variables you can use when customizing the signup, approval, and update information emails your listing sends out when using Enthusiast 2.x. Where included, items in parentheses are the config.inc.php variables the special variable corresponds to.

These variables are case-sensitive. See the included default emails/samples as a guide in making your own emails. Unless otherwise specified, these variables can only be used for email templates.
