custom module email notification

[ctran-prowess]

Hello,

I need help on the email notification. I created a custom module using modulebuilder from SugarCRM 5.2I. Creation and deploying of the custom modules are great and works fine. I've tried to make the custom modules fields similar to Bug fields. The issue is when the email where send out to the "assigned to" user. The emails does not contain any information except the link. I would like to implement more detail on the email notification.

I have tried editing the en_us.notify_template.html but it seems not working.

Please provide assist.

SugarCRM 5.2i
PHP 5.2
Apache, MySQL
Window XP

Thank you very much, Calvin

You need to add the email body into file include/language/en_us.notify_template.html.

Thank you very much for your reply, andopes.

I added the email body to file include/language/en_us.notify_template.html but seems like its not working.

Can you give me some example so i can compare? Very help you can provide, i'm very appreicated. Thank you.

Take a quick look at the file.
You will see something like that:


<!-- BEGIN: Account_Subject -->
SugarCRM Account - {ACCOUNT_NAME}
<!-- END: Account_Subject -->
<!-- BEGIN: Account -->
{ASSIGNER} has assigned an Account to {ASSIGNED_USER}.

Name: {ACCOUNT_NAME}
Type: {ACCOUNT_TYPE}
Description: {ACCOUNT_DESCRIPTION}

You may review this Account at:
<{URL}>
<!-- END: Account -->

So you need to add the html body for your module accordingly.

Did you 'on' the SugarCRM notification setting?

[ctran-prowess]

Thanks for reply again andopes and also AlexAv

AlexAv - yes, if you refer to SugarCRM setting for "Notify on Assignment" it is on for all the account users.

andopes - I have tried applying the html body to custom module as following.

my custom module named "q108_BeamDataStatus"

<!-- BEGIN: q108_BeamDataStatus_Subject -->
SugarCRM Subject - {q108_BeamDataStatus_SUBJECT}
<!-- END: q108_BeamDataStatus_Subject -->
<!-- BEGIN: q108_BeamDataStatus -->
{ASSIGNER} has assigned an Subject to {ASSIGNED_USER}.

Subject: {q108_BeamDataStatus_SUBJECT}
Type: {q108_BeamDataStatus_TYPE}
Description: {q108_BeamDataStatus_DESCRIPTION}

You may review this Subject at:
<{URL}>
<!-- END: q108_BeamDataStatus -->

It's not working..... I have tried couple different naming but still dont work. I'm sorry for all the trouble. Please help.

Thank you very much and I'm appreciated for all the help.

well, after spend hours of modifying and editing. I finally got it work.

There are two files need to edit for custom modules.

1) email body into file include/language/en_us.notify_template.html.
add html body. like my example.

2) edit \modules\(custom modules)\(custom_module).php file
example.
require_once('modules/q108_BeamDataStatus/q108_BeamDataStatus_sugar.php');
class q108_BeamDataStatus extends q108_BeamDataStatus_sugar {

function q108_BeamDataStatus(){
parent::q108_BeamDataStatus_sugar();
}

function set_notification_body($xtpl, $q108_BeamDataStatus)
{
$xtpl->assign("q108_BeamDataStatus_SUBJECT","$q108_BeamD ataStatus->subject");
$xtpl->assign("q108_BeamDataStatus_TYPE","$q108_BeamData Status->type");
$xtpl->assign("q108_BeamDataStatus_DESCRIPTION","$q108_B eamDataStatus->description");
return $xtpl;
}

Hope this information will help other ppl.
