Hi all,
I wrote this piece of code for calendar notifications (call this template "calendar_notify_user_email.ftl" and put it into "datadictionary->email template" in order to use it with a send mail rule):


<#assign displayPaths=document.displayPath?split("/")>
<#assign site=displayPaths[3]>
<#assign contenuto=document.content>
Event title: ${document.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/calendar}whatEvent"]}

Description: ${document.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/calendar}descriptionEvent"]}

Day of the event ${document.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/calendar}fromDate']?date}

from: ${document.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/calendar}fromDate']?time}
to: ${document.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/calendar}toDate']?time}

location: ${document.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/calendar}whereEvent"]}


Please do not reply to this mail. Complete calendar is at:
http://host:8080/share/page/site/${site}/calendar

Event created by: ${document.properties["{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}creator"]}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Hope that helps
Alex

Hi filmaker83,

What you could do is create a Scheduled Action - http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Scheduled_Actions

Have the action link to a script which creates an email action. Your script could check out if there is anything new added to the calendar and send that info to relevant parties

I've developed something similar for Data Lists; the scheduled action checks all projects and all lists within a project once a day, if there's anything new, or matching a criteria (such as a Due Date coming in a week, or next day) then an email is sent to the user that list entry is actioned against.

I'm looking to do the same thing.

Can someone please spend a few minutes to help a newbie on how to implement notifications?

I've deployed Alfresco Share for our department so users can collaborate files without the need for MS Sharepoint. Everything has been working great and everyone loves the 'Open Source' solution I've deployed.

A request has now came in from my boss to see if an e-mail could be sent out to the 'Site Users' when a new user is created and when a new forum post has been inserted. I've already worked out setting up notifications when files are uploaded but I can't seem to wrap my head around this one.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for a few minutes of your time. You guys are awesome.

Thanks
