[Building Sakai] Sakai 2.7.1 - how to change site-manage email notification text?

[Walters, Cynthia (cmw6s)]

Zhen and Matthew:
Thanks for the information; I don't see the Email template administration tool in our Admin Workspace at the moment.  I'll see if I can add it.

Meanwhile, I ran across SAK-17631 and tried adding a '<version>2</version>' to the xml template file, and this has worked!  Like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<emailTemplates>
        <emailTemplate>
        <version>2</version>
                <subject>${localSakaiName} Site Notification</subject>
                <message>${currentUserDisplayName}:

&lt;#if newNonOfficialAccount == "true" &gt;
        Once you have your guest account, you can log in to ${localSakaiName}:
[...]

Thanks, this is what I was looking for.
Cheers,
Cindy

Thanks Zhen,

On the default setup this is already there. Heres a ~50 screen cast showing the interface.

Hi, Cynthia:

There is a tool "Email template administration (sakai.emailtemplateservice)" that you could add into your Admin's Workspace. The tool will list all the registered email templates, and you can edit the templates on the fly if you don't introduce new variables.

Thanks,

- Zhen

Hello:

How do I change the text of site-manage email notifications in Sakai 2.7.1-tag (add participants email notifications)?

In 2.6.2, we were able to change a properties file (site-manage-impl/impl/src/bundle/UserNotificationProvider.properties) and add our wording and user instructions.

I see now that email templates are being used instead of the properties file approach, such as 'site-manage-impl/impl/src/bundle/notifyAddedParticipants.xml' - I've made changes to it but normal build/deploy/tomcat restarts have no effect.   I would appreciate any guidance on how to make our institution-specific wording changes to the email notifications, even if it means reverting back to the 262 way.

Thanks,
