WEB CONTENT FOR EMAIL TEMPLATE

Webcontent for Email Template
This blog will give you an understanding how the journalcontent can be used as a body of the
Email that you want to send as a Notification.

Follow this Steps

step 1:Create a journal Content as per your own requirement.(This article name I'm assuming as Email_Template)

step 2: Specify the name of the JournalArticle in portlet.properties file.So that any point of time you can change the name of the Journal as per your requirement

journal.Emailtemplate=Email_Template

Step 3: Use the following method to invoke the mail trigger which will send an Email with Journal Article

as the body of the email template.

/****** Method to get Journal content as template ******/

public static String getEmailTemplate(long groupId){
String emailTemplate=”";
JournalArticle jae = null;
try{
jae =JournalArticleLocalServiceUtil.getArticleByUrlTitle(groupId,GetterUtil.getString(PortletProps.get(“journal.Emailtemplate”)));
}catch(Exception e){ }

if(Validator.isNotNull(jae)) emailTemplate = jae.getContent();

}

/**************This method should be invoked with appropriate parameters specified  which will send email****/

public void sendMail(String toAddress,long groupId ){

String emailTemplate =”";

String fromAddress = “satya@gmail.com”;
String fromName =”satyam”;
String subject = “Invitaion for my group”;

emailTemplate  = getEmailTemplate(groupId);

try{
InternetAddress from=new InternetAddress(fromAddress,fromName);
InternetAddress to=new InternetAddress(toAddress,”unknown”);
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(from, to, subject, emailTemplate, true);
MailServiceUtil.sendEmail(message);
}
catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
