Changing the email template

Added by Tory Wolf over 10 years ago

Hello,
I'm trying to customize the template of the email notification.
I'd like the message to include the text of the issue and exclude "category" and "version" fields from the body of the message. But I cant find the file where I can change it. I found how I can change the subject of the mail, header and footer. But not body.
Could anyone help me with this?

Hi, Kuniharu

Thank you very much for help, it works!

I use version 1.0.4.
If someone needs, files are called _issue_text_html.rhtml and _issue_text_plain.rhtml, but content is the same.

RE: Changing the email template - Added by Gabor Balazs almost 10 years ago

Hello,

How can I control if just want to add one ot two custom field? Not all of them. If my custom field's id is 93, how should look the code (<% issue.custom_field_values.each do |c| >* <= c.custom_field.name >: <= show_value(c) >
<
end -%>)?

Thanks!

RE: Changing the email template - Added by Igor Panassiouk over 8 years ago

I'd like to make same modification.
But in Redmine 2.6.6 there is no "<%=l(:field_fixed_version)%>:" statements in app/views/mailer/_issue.text.erb

Any advice?

RE: Changing the email template - Added by Andrew X about 5 years ago

Hi, what would I need to edit to remove the description on an HTML RM update issue and new issue:

RM 3.3.3.stable

Sometimes we post sensitive information, and I don't want it sent through email in clear.

The rest of the info for issues that are updated or new are fine.

Thanks!

The following change should suppress the issue description in email notifications.

RE: Changing the email template - Added by Pasi Oja-Nisula about 5 years ago

Hi,

Thank you! I was just researching this and this seems to work. I tried to do the same thing to issue_edit.[html|text].erb and got also rid of text in issue updates.

Since there are many situations nowadays where some personal data cannot be sent via email, but link to web site is ok, shouldn't this be a standard feature in Redmine? I guess there should be separate setting for removing issue description and notes from updates.

I'm actually surprised if this isn't already a feature, but I didn't find anything while scanning the changelogs for 4.0 series. The closest thing I could find was this request, which is already 7 years old. Maybe I'll add some comments there.
http://www.redmine.org/issues/10459

The same thing could be accomplished by providing template to edit the notification email body. Then administrator could just leave out some fields and just provide the link to issue. Following this thought, these issues could partly solve the problem:

RE: Changing the email template - Added by Taine Woo over 4 years ago

I think it would be good if there is some options to enable/disable each parts of issues, including fields, descriptions and also full journal history, to be or not to be shown in notification email.
for me, i would like to include two parts in the notification email:
1. the modified parts, it's implemented in current redmine 4.
2. the detail info of this issue, and also full notes history of it (all info displayed on the website). first half of this point is implemented in current redmine 4, but later half, the full notes history, is not displayed in the mail in current redmine 4.

also includes this issue and post:

RE: Changing the email template - Added by Taine Woo over 4 years ago

better if there is option for admin to choose. and also option for each field to be set, for display in notification mail or not.

Can someone post exactly what to remove in issue_edit.[html|text].erb to remove the text in issue updates?

Thanks!
