Assignee NodeRef in Workflow Email Template?

cpaul — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:54:48 GMT

Hello all,I'm attempting to update the workflow assignment notification email so that the assignee's name is in the greeting. To do this, I will modify the "wf-email.html.ftl" template in "/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Email Templates/Workflow Notification". I see that there is a "person" argument a

Ok, I figured out an approach that works, but am still open to anything simpler!

I extended org.alfresco.repo.notification.EMailNotificationProvider and overrode the following method:


@Override
public void sendNotification(NotificationContext notificationContext)
{
   List<String> to = notificationContext.getTo();
   if (to != null && to.size() == 1) {
      String assignee = to.get(0);
      Map<String, Serializable> args = notificationContext.getTemplateArgs();
      try {
         NodeRef personRef = serviceRegistry.getPersonService().getPerson(assignee, false);
         args.put("assignee", new TemplateNode(personRef, serviceRegistry, null));
         notificationContext.setTemplateArgs(args);
      } catch (NoSuchPersonException ex) {
          logger.warn("Could not find a person with the name " + assignee);
      }
   }
   super.sendNotification(notificationContext);
}
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then I overrode the "emailNotificationProvider" in my custom context file, using this new class.

Finally, at the top of the wf_email.html.ftl file, I added:


<#assign assignee=args["assignee"]/>
‍‍‍

Now I'm able to use the assignee user as follows:


<#if assignee?exists>
${assignee.properties["cm:firstName"]} ${assignee.properties["cm:lastName"]}
</#if>
