Email Title Format

[georgestefan]

Hello, I'm trying to make a custom email format and I've done almost everything, but I could not find were to modify the title:

I want to remove "Critical" and "id" from there and I didn't find where to make that modification. If can someone help me with that information...

Thank you!

Hello!

I think what you're looking for is probably...

<@subject>Hey - Stuff is happening with the automation system and I think you should know</@subject>

somewhere in your FTL. For a complete list of subject line options I'll have to refer you to the code a little, as the SubjectDirective class has some parameter options. Aliases override the default (but keep the Critical - and - id portions as you discovered probably), and the last SubjectDirective will probably have the final say.

Thanks a lot, this works great!

@phildunlap Also I have another question, I don't know if this is possible, I am relative new to mango, for example if I have this email alarm for a compressor, can I display in email last values for Low Pressure and High Pressure?

[phildunlap]

Glad that did what you were looking for.

Mongo will probably not give you the right search results, Mango is the name of the software.

It is not possible in Mango 3.1 but we've added a way to put points into the FTL context in 3.2. I believe releasing that update is not too far away but I can't say for sure.

In previous versions, the way to achieve this is having the event set a point in the context of a meta point, which computes the whole alarm message you would want with whatever points are in context and then this meta point has a change detector that the email is launched from. Or, you can cut out the first event detector and have the meta point take the source data point as its context, and then have the meta point raise the alarm with relevant other data.

Thanks again!

@phildunlap Hi again, I have another question about email formatting, I have an event handler which send me an email when a user log in, but the title is a little to complicated but I've seen that the title is generated with some code, it's there a way to have access and modify that?

Here is a picture with the title:

and this is the code which generate that title:

<@fmt message=evt.message/>

[phildunlap]

Hi George,

<#assign message><@fmt message=evt.message/></#assign>
<@subject>${message?replace("current undesired text", "desired text")}</@subject>

You can find other built in methods to manipulate the string, here, http://freemarker.org/docs/ref_builtins_string.html

Another possibility is overriding your i18n.properties file. Then you can change the rendered text to whatever you want globally.

@phildunlap Thanks, I'll try that.

I tried and works very well.
