Email-notification configuration for watching a document

eXo Platform 3.5 provides the Watch document function in Sites Explorer that allows you to receive email notifications of changes on your selected documents.

To customize the email notification, simply change the configuration in the configuration.properties file. This file is defined at:

For Jboss: /server/default/conf/gatein/configuration.properties
For Tomcat: $TOMCAT_HOME/gatein/conf/configuration.properties

The relevant section looks like:



# Email content for WatchDocumentService

gatein.ecms.watchdocument.sender=support@exoplatform.com

gatein.ecms.watchdocument.subject=Your watching document is changed

gatein.ecms.watchdocument.mimetype=text/html

gatein.ecms.watchdocument.content=<![CDATA[Dear $user_name,<br><br>The document $doc_name ($doc_title) has changed.<br>

<br>Please go to <a href="$doc_url">$doc_title</a> to see this change.<br><br>]]>
