Title: Different membership receipts for 'New' and 'Active' members
ThreadText: # Different membership receipts for 'New' and 'Active' members
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2017-12-13)
  
  We send our donors once a year an email and ask them to become members. The email contains a link with a contact checksum that directly leads them to a contribution page, where they can select their membership and do the payments.
  
  And our existing members we send a similar email and ask them to renew.
  
  Both pages generate an email receipt using the template *Memberships - Receipt (on-line)* Is it possible to make a difference between the new and the already active members?
  
  The CiviCRM version is 4.7.26.

  In the smarty template the variable `$mem_status` is assigned. So it can be used to insert different text fragments in the template. Here is an example in code.
  
  ```
   {if $mem_status eq 'New'}
   Hello, you seem to be new so this is the text fragment for new members.
   {else}
   Welcome back - not new - so here is an active member text fragment.
   {/if}
  
  ```
