All, I am following the instructions from here (custom alert template) to set custom alert template for a list/library. I have a document library for which I would like custom alert email. Following are the steps I did:
Copy OOB alerttemplate.xml and name it alerttemplateTest.xml
Modified the existing template
SPAlertTemplateType.DocumentLibrary
Added new template to new alerttemplateTest.xml (
SPAlertTemplateType.DocumentLibrary.Test
)Ran the stsadm command:
STSADM -o updatealerttemplates -url <http://urlname> -filename <your working copy filename>
Updated
list.AlertTemplate
to the new template (SPAlertTemplateType.DocumentLibrary.Test
) for "Shared Documents" within a site through object model
For all the document libraries, the alert email reflect the changes i made in SPAlertTemplateType.DocumentLibrary
. But the emails for Shared Documents I set to SPAlertTemplateType.DocumentLibrary.Test
doesnt contain the changes. The emails contain changes for SPAlertTemplateType.DocumentLibrary
. Through the object model, i can see that "Shared Documents" has the correct template, which is SPAlertTemplateType.DocumentLibrary.Test
. Did i miss anything?
I appreciate any help on this.
Thanks!!!
