(Superseded) Customize the subject format for standard emails

:information_source: This content is now covered in Customize specific email templates

So you want to customize subject format for standard emails? Great, let’s get started!

The subject for standard emails can be customized from: Admin / Customize / Email

Available formatting options are:

%{optional_re}[%{site_name}] %{optional_pm}%{optional_cat}%{topic_title}

  • %{optional_re} → Re: (applicable if the post is a Reply)

  • %{site_name} → Community Title

  • %{optional_pm} → [PM] (applicable if the post is a Personal Message)

  • %{optional_cat} → [category] / [category/subcategory] {not applicable for uncategorized topics and PM)

  • %{optional_tags} → [tag1] [tag2] [tag3] (shows up to 3 tags)

  • %{topic_title} → Topic title

Complied subject for typical email notification:

[Community Title] [category] Topic title

Please note that a trailing whitespace will automatically be appended to %{optional_re}, %{optional_pm} and %{optional_cat}.

That’s it! You have successfully customized subject format for standard emails.
