Feature: The notification mail about a new job is a Fluid template 

Description 

A job submitted through the Jobs New content element was announced with one fixed English sentence and the link to the job in the backend. The setting plugin.tx_academicjobs.email.template , labelled "Email content", was not read at all.

The mail is now rendered from the Fluid mail template JobCreated, with an HTML and a plain-text part on the core layout SystemEmail:

  • The title of the job is the heading of the mail.

  • The message is the text of plugin.tx_academicjobs.email.template . Its default is now empty, and an empty setting renders the default message of the template, in the language of the page the form was submitted on:

    A new job advert has been submitted. Please review it in the TYPO3 backend.
    Copied! 
    Eine neue Stellenanzeige wurde eingereicht. Bitte prüfen Sie sie im TYPO3-Backend.
    Copied!
  • A link opens the job in the TYPO3 backend.

The new setting plugin.tx_academicjobs.email.templateName , a site setting of fgtclb/academic-jobs and a constant of the static template, selects the template, JobCreated by default. The extension registers its template path under the key 20 of $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['templateRootPaths'] , so a site package replaces the template with a path of its own under any higher key. On TYPO3 v14, the mail also follows the template paths and the format a site sets in the core site set typo3/email. See The notification mail about a submitted job.

Recipient, sender and subject come from the same settings as before.

Impact 

  • Every installation sends a different mail: two parts instead of one, and the default message above instead of "A new job has been posted. Please check the TYPO3 backend:". The core layout adds the TYPO3 logo to the HTML part, and a footer in English naming the site to both parts. A site that set plugin.tx_academicjobs.email.template gets its own text. A site that wants the old sentence sets it there.
  • A site that set plugin.tx_academicjobs.email.template to the old default "A new job application has been submitted. Please check the backend." keeps that sentence, now in the mail, and no longer gets the translated message.
  • A site whose mail configuration sets $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['format'] to html or plain gets that part only.
  • A project that sent its own mail, by replacing the controller or by a listener, can drop that code for a template of its own.
