Introduction

Since 2023.3, we’ve introduced a template system for all emails sent by the application. This allows us to automatically use the logos and colors set for the application in the email content. The main purpose is to avoid modifications by the project team since most of the time, all the email contents were only modified to apply the project logo or to change colors.

1/ Template system with velocity and Notification api

  • We can change the generic footer by overriding footer.html under the project folder. If, only the text part has to be changed, we can edit the value of email_template_footer_part_one key of bov3/wcm bundle.

  • We can also change the specific footers by overriding them under the project folder.

  • We can also add new specific files as headers, footers, or styles. In this case, the email HTML file needs to be updated to use the newly added specific header, footer, or style.

  • All bodies content can be changed by overriding them under the project folder and by using the correct path in email html file (example : WXM_CART2/res/email/collaborate.html)placing them under the correct file tree structure.

    • Example with cart share email :

      • I’ll create a file named share.html which will contain the main body of my email. I’ll then place it under __perso/email/project/bodies/ . Then when a board is shared, my body content will be used inside the template with the header and the footer.

Note

The file structure has to be respected for the template system to work properly. If I had created a share.html file directly under __perso/email/project/ I would have overitten the template (and not the body) of the email generated on a board share. In this case i will not have the header and the footer in my email

  • All bodies content can be changed by overriding them under the customization folder defined in the plugins (WXM_CART2 and PACKAGED_RegistrationEmails)

    • Example with cart share email :

      • I’ll create a file named share.html which will contain the main body of my email. I’ll then place it under __perso/emailTest/ in a new folder called bodies. This path has also been set in the params of WXM_CART2. Then when a board is shared, my body content will be used inside the template with the header and the footer.

The file structure has to be respected for the template system to work properly. If I had created a share.html file directly under __perso/emailTest/ I would have overitten the template (and not the body) of the email generated on a board share.
