   Hi guys

   I was wondering if it's possible to get an email response which, at the beginning, will only state the person's first name rather than 'Hi Matt Smith' it would be 'Hi Matt'.

   Hope you can help.

   Thanks
   Steve.

   Hi Steve,

   You need to customize some machform files for this, try to follow these steps :

   1. Edit "includes/entry-functions.php" file and go to around line 288 for these code

   $entry_details[$i]['value'] = $simple_name_value;

   then put these code bellow that line

   $entry_details[$i]['first_name'] = $entry_data['element_'.$element_id.'_1'];
   					$entry_details[$i]['last_name'] = $entry_data['element_'.$element_id.'_2'];

   2. Edit your "helper-functions.php" file and go to around line 276 ~ 286 for these code :

   if($data['element_type'] == 'textarea'){
   		$template_values[$i] = nl2br($data['value']);
   	}elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'file'){
   		if($target_is_admin === false){
   			$template_values[$i] = strip_tags($data['value']);
   		}else{
   			$template_values[$i] = strip_tags($data['value'],'<a>');
   		}
   	}else{
   		$template_values[$i]	= $data['value'];
   	}

   then change it to

   if($data['element_type'] == 'textarea'){
   			$template_values[$i] = nl2br($data['value']);
   		}elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'file'){
   			if($target_is_admin === false){
   				$template_values[$i] = strip_tags($data['value']);
   			}else{
   				$template_values[$i] = strip_tags($data['value'],'<a>');
   			}
   		}elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'simple_name'){
   			$template_variables[$i] = '{element_'.$data['element_id']. '_1}';
   			$template_values[$i] = $data['first_name'];
   			$i++;
   			$template_variables[$i] = '{element_'.$data['element_id']. '_2}';
   			$template_values[$i] = $data['last_name'];
   
   		}else{
   			$template_values[$i]	= $data['value'];
   		}

   after that you can use email template variable like this :

   {element_4_1} --> for first name
   {element_4_2} --> for last name

   don't forget to change the id's with yours
