Edit Notification Templates

With the Manja update, it is now possible to edit not only the individual notifications, but also the email template itself and also the email footer.

The templates for the templates and notifications are structured in such a way that they offer, for example, the texts in two languages ({l:de} and {l:en}) and, depending on the user language setting, use them accordingly in the e-mail.

Likewise, the templates rely on system variables (e.g. {msg:recipient[short-display-name]} for the output of the user name), which are filled with appropriate content.

For the email template there is a html base template which defines the basic structure of the email.

The base template (“mail“) is located under Administration > Templates > Base Templates.

The base template should be customized with care.

There is a separate template for the email footer, which is output under the content of each notification.

The e-mail footer (mail_footer) is located under Administration > Templates > Fragment templates.

The content of the e-mail footer should represent the contact option for general support (internal or external).

For each notification sent by the system, there is a single notification template.

The notifications are located under Administration > Messages.

Each notification is created in two languages and uses system variables for unique output of information, labels and salutations.

For the Add-on Projects there are also not only custom notifications, but also corresponding fragment templates.

The fragment templates are located under Administration > Templates > Fragment templates.

The fragment templates define special functions and outputs for the e-mail notifications from this add-on. These fragment templates should be customized with care.

A preview is available for the notifications.

This cumulates a preview of the selected notification from your own login or mockup data. Mockup data replaces variables that are not available for the preview with placeholder data.

Likewise, the preview can be used to send a test email with the selected notification.
