Customizing Email Notifications

[rx2]

Great application.
We have a need to include the entire content of a task, milestone, or comment in the notification emails that go out. We haven't found anyway to do this within the system and was wondering what .php files we could manipulate to include this content in email notifications.

You need to edit files at 'application/views/notifier'. Those mails define the email content for the notifications. In the case of task assignments, for instance, you would have to edit the 'task_assigned.php'. In that file you will notice a variable called $task_assigned. This is an instance of ProjectTask, which is defined in 'application/models/project_tasks/ProjectTask.class.php'. There you can check out how to get the task fields.

Ok, will have a look. Our dream task email would be something like this:

Subject - {Workspace} - {Task Title}
From: projects@whateveryourdomain.com

Email Body
Workspace: {Workspace Name}
Task: {Task Title}
Assignee: {Assignee}
Subscribers: {Subscribers}
Start Date: {Start Date}
Due Date: {End Date}

Task Description
{Task Description}

{Task Link}

Our dream comment email would be something like this:

Subject - Comment -  {Workspace} - {Task Title}
From: projects@whateveryourdomain.com

Email Body
Workspace: {Workspace Name}
Task: {Task Title}
Assignee: {Assignee}
Subscribers: {Subscribers}
Start Date: {Start Date}
Due Date: {End Date}

Comment
{Comment Description}

{Comment Link}

As of FengOffice 1.7 stable, this issue is for the most part outstanding.
One should be able to know what a task is about without the need to even open it, just from the subject line of the email message.

When a task is modified or completed, useful info is shown in the subject line.
Newly assigned tasks, however, only display "Task has been assigned to you." and nothing else.

We'll revise it.
