Add fields to email notification?

[HQnet]

Hi,

In the email alert sent when a task is assigned to someone else I am trying to add the related account to the fields included in the message

As per #10 in

http://www.sugarcrm.com/forums/showt...079#post169079

I added
Account: {ACCOUNT_NAME}

But the value is not showing (the label does show)

Any ideas?

TIA

I tried a couple of ideas but it's still not showing the value...

I am looking to do the same with Cases. Did you ever find a solution?

I am looking to do the same with Cases. Did you ever find a solution?

Unfortunately I didn't find a solution so far.

I had put it on hold and hoped to look at it again at some point, or maybe check if it got "fixed" in the 5.5 release, but I don't put much faith in that ...

Here's the solution:

Open this file: modules/LeadsLead.php

Search for $xtpl->assign("LEAD_DESCRIPTION", $lead->description);

Add these two lines:
$xtpl->assign("LEAD_PHONE", $lead->phone_home);
$xtpl->assign("LEAD_EMAIL", $lead->email1);

You can then use these lines in /include/language/en_us.notify_template.html

Phone: {LEAD_PHONE}
Email: {LEAD_EMAIL}

Hi,
I tried to adapt your suggestion to the Task module, which is what I am trying to customize

in modules/Task/Task.php

I added

$xtpl->assign("TASK_CONTACT", $task->contact_tasks);
$xtpl->assign("TASK_ACCOUNT", $task->name);

and some variations like

$xtpl->assign("TASK_CONTACT", $contacts->last_name);

And I also added the other lines in the message template

Cuenta: {TASK_ACCOUNT}
Contacto: {TASK_CONTACT}

but I couldn't get it working, I only get the label but not the values in the notification (well, I got the task subject in the Account field once, but no very useful )

I figure I am not constructing the "$task->name" part right... any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
