Hi,

there is some link in the "mytaskspanel.get.html.ftl" (for "My Tasks" dashboard) that gives the URL to manage a selected task.
Have a look at it


<a href="#" onclick="event.cancelBubble=true; openWindowCallback('${url.context}/command/ui/managetask?id=${pooled.id}&amp;type=${pooled.qnameType}&amp;container=plain', MyTasks.manageTaskCallback);">
‍‍‍

You can dig a little around this command processor "managetask" to find away to put the URL you need in the mail body

Hi i need the same functionality.
I am using a template,but there am getting the error
Failed to send email to [me]
org.springframework.mail.MailPreparationException: Could not prepare mail; nested exception is org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.TemplateException: 09200004 Error during processing of the template 'Expression url is undefined on line 12, column 23 in workspace://SpacesStore/07f7676f-b933-4191-bdb7-0fcf8ce32919.

How can i define url for task to get direct link inside alfresco gui?

you have to fork the java class that sends the email in order to provide to the FTL model the variable URL

I am using these code inside workflow to send mail

<action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
        <script>
        {
         var mail = actions.create("mail");
         mail.parameters.to = bpm_assignee.properties.email;
         mail.parameters.subject = " You have new document to approve ";
         mail.parameters.from = initiator.properties.email;
         mail.parameters.text =" Access to document is under My Task To Do \n\n ";

         mail.parameters.text +="Access to document: http://servername:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp";

   //here i want change login.jsp to show direct link to document and attached metadata
   <!– mail.parameters.text +="Access to document: http://servername:8080/alfresco/${bpm_package.children.url} ";
–>
<!– mail.parameters.text += document.url;–>

         mail.execute(bpm_package);
         }
         </script>
</action>

The "MailActionExecuter.java" class has to be customized.
And your script too : you have to specify a mail template, instead of a text content, so that you'll be able to use variables.

Here is the part of the code where the mail template is used :


// See if an email template has been specified
                String text = null;
                NodeRef templateRef = (NodeRef)ruleAction.getParameterValue(PARAM_TEMPLATE);
                if (templateRef != null)
                {
                    // build the email template model
                    Map<String, Object> model = createEmailTemplateModel(actionedUponNodeRef);
                    
                    // process the template against the model
                    text = templateService.processTemplate("freemarker", templateRef.toString(), model);
                }
                
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

The "model" variable is a Map of <key, value>.
In your case, you'd like to have the {servername} key, like :

Access to document is under My Task To Do \n\n
Access to document: http://{servername}:8080/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp
