Customizing Feedback Server Notifications

Post by Eric Lachance »

In Feedback Server, when a user rates a topic, adds a comment or does a search with no result, we receive an email notification. That's all good.

I found that the email template is available as an HTML file on the Feedback Server, and that I can change the text and style of it. However, I haven't found what are the different variables I can use in those email templates. What I'd like to add is the (stupidly missing) name of the documentation I'm receiving notification from. It's all well and good to get the notification, but with 7 different manuals, knowing which one it comes from would be a very smart thing to have!

Does anyone know what variables I can use, such as in the following example?

Code: Select all

	    <h1>Topic Rated</h1>

        <p>Topic Title: <span id="TopicTitle"></span></p>
        <p>Topic Path: <span id="TopicPath"></span></p>
        <p>Topic Rating: <span id="TopicRating"></span></p>
        <p>Average Rating: <span id="AverageRating"></span></p>
        <p>Timestamp: <span id="Timestamp"></span></p>

So... no one uses Feedback Server with multiple webhelp outputs and cares where the notifications are coming from? Or no one has a clue what variables are available?

We're planning to implement the Feedback Service later this year, and this would definitely be a feature that we need (we'll be tracking as many outputs as possible). Hopefully, you get a response soon! :)

Actually we did get a response - this is currently not possible. There's no customization possible of these notifications.

I did submit a feature request, but there's no telling how long it's going to take to implement. I guess we'll just have to hold on tight.
