Can you provide more context please?

Where are using this template?  How are you sending the mail?

This is a e-mail notification content rule.

This is a Email action.

This is created using the rule-wizard of the WCM.

Also, if I use the default email template then I get nice substitution of parameters. ($document.name} becomes mydoc.doc.

But when I use the text above, then no substitution occurres. How is this possible. Is it just buggy or Am I doing somethig wrong?????

Must I create my own templates and use that, or can I type a tekst into the textarea and use it

That is correct, you will need to create a template for this. If you want that feature it could be done, please raise a JIRA request.

Thanks,

I will make a template for this. I might submit a Jira, but at the moment I do not know how to do this.

I'm glad to have found this thread. I'm experiencing the same problem…

However. I have created an email template and have uploaded to the correct Email Template folder with the .ftl extension.

What is concerning me is that when I go to create the content rule for sending an email to a specified user I do not see my email template under the list of templates for use. Even worse, I don't see ANY! Even though there are a number of them in the Email Templates space.

Let me first mention that I have not applied a workflow to this space. I need to only inform certain users that a document needs to be looked at by them.

I wanted to apply a simple workflow but since the documents that need to be reviewed need to be reviewed by several people, copying them to a space would create duplicates of the same file within the "approved" or "rejected" folders.

Please help. Once again, my problem is that no templates are available to insert when I try to add a content rule to email specific users when a file is added to a staging folder.

Thanks in advance. Alfresco has been good to me so far.

Regarding the non appearance of your template. i have restarted my alfresco server to be able to see my own template.

I hope this will help you.

Sadly, restarting the instance of Alf did nothing. :?:  :cry:

Did you upload it through alfresco or just the OS to put it into the right folder. You must use alfresco (dictionary) to upload the new template. Otherwise it will not register in alfresco.
