how to set a different message for an email templa

Question

I created a custom module and had used the calendar object to create an event and the code is as follows

def create_calender_event(self,cr,uid,ids,context=None):
    calendar_obj = self.pool.get('calendar.event')      
    for rec in self.browse(cr,uid,ids,context=context):
        if rec.action:
            for rec_res in rec.action:
                calendar_obj.create(cr,uid,{'name' : rec_res.act_ion,
                    'user_id' : rec_res.asgnd_to.id,
                    'start_date' : rec_res.due_date,
                    'stop_date' : rec_res.due_date,
                    'allday' : True,
                    'partner_ids' : [(6,0, [rec_res.asgnd_to.partner_id.id])]
                },context=context)

This will create a event in respective user's calendar, but it uses default template message.

How can i replace the calendar invitation template message by custom message ?

Answer 1

It's email template with xml id "calendar_template_meeting_invitation" is used to send invitation. So find this template and change to whatever you want. Under template its called "Meeting Invitation" email template.

UPDATES================================

on calendar.event object create and write method calls the method create_attendees which create all attendee and send email invitation by calling method _send_mail_to_attendees code ref, so you need to overload that function and remvoe that statement so it doesn't send email when attendee is created rather send invitation when you want.

Answer 2

you can do like this from py file

1) get the template_id and browse the object
2) the template body will be stored in 'body_html' field
3) store the body_html field in one variable, lets say: old_body
4) then add your customized code to template's 'body_html' field and write the values into template using the above temlate_id
5) send the mail, using send method
6) then write back the old_body value back to the template.

just for idea, refer this....

template_id = template_pool.search(cr,uid,[('name','=ilike',template_name)])
if template_id:
template_obj = template_pool.browse(cr, uid, template_id)
body = template_obj.body_html
body_old = body
count = 0

body += "

template_pool.write(cr, uid, template_id, {'body_html':body})
template_pool.send_mail(cr, uid, template_id[0], record.id)
