Hello,

it is possible to add a template-layout parameter for notifications that is similar to that found in relation field,

but now this is not available / implemented

I have changed some code to create "custom email notification" and works fine.

In com_flexicontent/model/parentclassitem.php:

I have added below codes in function sendNotificationEmails

Code:

if ( $params->get('custom_email_form') )
{
	$ce_title = $this->get('title');
	$ce_view_link = JRoute::_( JURI::root(false).FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($this->get('id'), $this->get('catid')) . $lang);
	$ce_edit_link = JRoute::_( JURI::root(false).'index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view='.FLEXI_ITEMVIEW.'&cid='.$this->get('catid').'&id='.$this->get('id').'&task=edit');
	//subject
	if ( $params->get('body_title_notify_new') )
	{
		$subject = $params->get('body_title_notify_new');
	}
	//body
	if ( $params->get('body_text_notify_new') )
	{
		$body = nl2br($params->get('body_text_notify_new'));
				
		$custom_email_search  = array('[[ITEM_TITLE]]', '[[ITEM_LINK]]', '[[ITEM_EDIT_LINK]]');
		$custom_email_replace = array($ce_title, $ce_view_link, $ce_edit_link);
				
		$body = str_replace($custom_email_search, $custom_email_replace, $body);	
	}
}

In config.xml:
I have added

Code:

<field name="custom_email_form" type="list" default="0" label="FLEXI_CUSTOM_EMAIL_FORM" description="FLEXI_CUSTOM_EMAIL_FORM_DESC" menu="hide">
	<option value="0">FLEXI_NO</option>
	<option value="1">FLEXI_YES</option>
</field>
<field name="body_title_notify_new" type="text" default="" label="FLEXI_CUSTOM_EMAIL_TITLE" description="FLEXI_CUSTOM_EMAIL_TITLE_DESC" menu="hide" />
<field name="body_text_notify_new" type="textarea" rows="10" cols="40" default="" label="FLEXI_CUSTOM_EMAIL_BODY" description="FLEXI_CUSTOM_EMAIL_BODY_DESC" menu="hide" />

I know that they are not perfect codes but works fine..

I really appreciate if you could modify and update.

Hello,

actually a more complete implementation is like the custom template parameter in relation field, ... which includes support for all needed replacements and also a replacements for "default behavior", so the code that will be used is similar to the way it was implemented in relation field

Hello,

I see that implementation in relation field would be more powerful and faster.

Suggestion:
1. Please consider creating separate tab for "custom notification template" in configuration.

2. Please consider adding "custom notification template" for notifying favored user.

3. Please consider adding params whether to send email in HTML format or Plain Text format.

Really appreciate, as always!!

Hello,

effectively,
-- what needs to be done is add a "template parameter" which will do replacements for all existing configuration options

-- this is rather small task,
but care must be taken that some data are not created without parameters being set so this must be changed too if adding this "template parameter"

-- but since, the content of notifications are configurable including a custom text, this can not be a priority for near future
