Hi Friends,
I have seen many new comers to liferay seems to be struggling regarding the email tempelates.
So I thought why not put the whole procedure in a document which can help. For this reason I am
writing this post may be it is quite simple for many but will be quite helpful for the new comers.
Brief Overview:
If we see in existing liferay source code then we can find the email tempelates regarding
create account and forgot password in com/liferay/portlet/admin/dependencies/ and they are read from there.
In 1 case I can tell you from UserLocalServiceImpl and corresponding entry for each tempelate is there in
portal.properties
Enough theory time to do your self:
1.Just create a folder in ext-impl may be u can choose this path
ext-impl\src\com\mytempelate
2.Write a simple tempelate
eg:
Dear [$TO_NAME$],<br /><br />
Hi this is my first tempelate.<br /><br />
Sincerely,<br />
[$FROM_NAME$]
save this as my_first_tmpl.tmpl
3.make an entry in portal-ext.properties
for our example like this :
ext.myfirst.tempelate=ext-impl\src\com\mytempelate\my_first_tmpl.tmpl
This is just a normal key value pair.
4.Now time to read your tempelate
String firstTemeplate = PrefsPropsUtil.getContent(user.getCompanyId(),"ext.myfirst.tempelate");
or
String firstTemeplate = ContentUtil.get("ext-impl\src\com\mytempelate\my_first_tmpl.tmpl");
5. We can easily replace the content :
String firstTemeplate= StringUtil.replace(firstTemeplate, new String[] {"[$TO_NAME$]","[$FROM_NAME$]"
}, new String[] {
"any_name","any_name"
});
Thats it !!!
