I am wondering if I can use variables as part of the email subject. The actions allow me to choose a custom subject. Nevertheless my email client groups mails with the same title, hence I have to be quite careful to not oversee any mail. Idea could be to add the task title, e.g. "New task "
Off topic: I solved some other topic but I am blocked to reply to the same threat due to my newbe status. Any idea how to chance this as I like to share solutions with the community as well.
totally doable. are you comfortable editing the action? or do you need help?
actually, I just noticed thats one of my actions. ill add an option to include the task title to the end like that for you, next week, when I’m off Vacation.
Happy to hear and no hurry at all - vacation is important!
I created the actions via the admin browser interface if you mean this. If it is code in the config files: Would be OK but advise would be very helpful in this case. I use different actions and also plugins. Are there limitations or do they somehow use the same technique for email notification?
I do not know about the mid-term plan: Maybe some principle variables might be an interesting approach to make the usage easier for different purposes and different people?
what ill do is edit the code to present a checkbox option, allowing you to include the task title in the subject. so when you set up the action, the options presented would look like the below
Send a task by email to assignee
Event name = Task creation
Column = Ideen
Email subject = Neue Aufgabe
Include task title = true
if Include task title is true then the subject result will be like you requested, Neue Aufgabe: Task title(#111)
else it will be like previously.
you can then look at the commit, and see what code was added, and how it works, to apply to other actions that you use.
I replaced the 4 files withing the plugin folder and restarted kanboard. Nevertheless I now get a strange error page when entering the kanboard main page. When replacing with the original files everything works again.
I fully re-placed the plugin. Kanboard itself works. I also checked that the downloaded master contains the mentioned changes.
Unfortunately if I try to create a new proper action, there is no field to select to include the task title to the subject (see screenshot).
yes, next chance I get, for some reason I thought it already did. not sure why I thought that…
edit: I will add like I did the others, but after checking, if you leave the subject blank, it will defualt to include project name, task title, due in.
