Custom mail template Easyforms

[jj.f...@tfe.nl]

For a project I'm using Easyforms 2.12.14 with hippo 7.8 and I want to implement a custom freemarker template for emailing form data.

To accomplish this I used the console to add a parametername 'ef-body-html' to my page component with a parametervalue that contains the entire freemarker template.

This works, but it feels clunky to put a complete freemarker template inside a parametervalue in a jcr node. 

Ideally, i'd like to use a seperate resource file containing the template and let easyforms parse that file, and only define the path to that resource in the page component.

Is this possible in the current version of easyforms? I can see that the method populateHtmlTemplate in class FreemarkerParser has an optional templatePath vararg that is used parse a file so the parser seems capable to do this, but populateHtmlTemplate is never called in that way in the plugins code.

Kind regards,

Jaap-Jan

Hi Jaap-Jan,

I've just browsed the source code. It seems possible to use an external
.ftl file like the following:
- Don't set ef-body-html parameter
- Instead add
classpath:org/onehippo/forge/easyforms/util/easyforms_html.ftl (for html
email template) or
classpath:org/onehippo/forge/easyforms/util/easyforms_text.ftl (for text
email template).

Then, it seems to parse the .ftl file instead.

Regards,

Woonsan

Hi Woonsan,

Those are the default ftl templates that are packaged with the easyforms plugin jar.

Does it also work with ftl files outside that org/onehippo/forge/easyforms/util package?

And where exactly do you add that classpath, also on the page component?

thanks!

Jaap-Jan

Hi Jaap-Jan,

I think you can add those .ftl files under
/site/WEB-INF/classes/org/onehippo/forge/easyforms/util/ folder. (In
Maven project, it could be located in
site/src/main/resources/org/onehippo/forge/easyforms/util/ folder.)
Then, it will override the default files by shadowing.

Woonsan

Hi Woonsan,

That may be a possibility, but it would still limit the number of ftl files you could use to just.. one. I'd like to be able to select different ftl template files for different forms.

And I'm a bit cautious to do this as things would break if the plugin would change the name of it's internal ftl template file or if the package structure in the plugin jar would change in a future update.

thanks for the suggestion though!

kind regards,

Jaap-Jan

I see.
Anyway, it sounds like a good idea if we can set an external resource path. Maybe the plugin can add an additional param for external ftl resource path.

Cheers,
