Introduction
This article describes how to customize the CoreOne Suite email templates and translate them into other languages.
Concept
The e-mail templates are stored in XSLT format and are transformed to an HTML file with XML data at runtime. All available e-mail templates can be overwritten by creating the corresponding files in the following folder:
C:\ProgramData\itsense\Templates
| Info |
|---|
NoteWhen creating templates, always keep in mind that certain e-mail clients such as Microsoft Outlook can only display a limited subset of the HTML / CSS functionalities. Simple DIVs are already displayed incorrectly there. It is therefore recommended to use a table layout and / or to test the templates well! |
Structure of the templates
The templates are all built according to the same pattern. For each notification there is a main file which references all template parts. The file "EMailVerification.EN.tpl" is listed below:
...
Line 1 |
| References the default template header. This contains the customer's logo and the general design in a standard installation. | ||
Line 3 |
| References the default template before and after the heading as well as the actual heading in the current language. | ||
Line 12 |
| Output of the Verification PIN | ||
Line 15 |
| References the default template footer. |
Multilingualism
The templates can be built up multilingual. To do this, add the extension of the corresponding language to the corresponding template file. If no language is specified, the file is used as default.
...
The language used is always determined via the core identity. If no language is defined there or if a language is defined that has not been translated, the default template is used.
