Insert variable in email template

[joenineo]

Hi

I have created a cusom module and would like to set up an email template where I can pull in info from it. I can see there is Account, Contact/Lead/Target, Users in the drop down Insert Variable, my question is how do I add my custom module to this so that I can use the fields in it.

Any pointers would be appreciated as I can't see anywhere that I can do this.

Got Solution.It works:

Go to EmailTemplates.php

Step1::
===========
Modified your module here

$loopControl = array(
'Contacts' => array(
'Contacts' => $contact,
'Leads' => $lead,
'Prospects' => $prospect,
),
'Accounts' => array(
'Accounts' => $account,
),
'Users' => array(
'Users' => $current_user,
),
);

$prefixes = array(
'Contacts' => 'contact_',
'Accounts' => 'account_',
'Users' => 'contact_user_',
);


Step 2::
===========
Go to /EmailTemapltes/EditView.php

modify the drop down list.

$dropdown="<option value='Accounts'>
".$mod_strings['LBL_ACCOUNT']."
</option>
<option value='Contacts'>
".$mod_strings['LBL_CONTACT_AND_OTHERS']."
</option>
<option value='wsi_m_ic_info'>
".$mod_strings['LBL_IC_INFO']."
</option>
<option value='Users'>
".$mod_strings['LBL_USERS']."
</option>";

What about if the template is used in a campaign. Why is Accounts removed from the dropdown when it is in a campaign?
