Email templates
PageSeeder uses XSLT templates to generate email messages in plain text and HTML format.
The default templates can be found under:
[pageseeder]/WEB-INF/template/default/notification
To customize a message, edit a copy of the appropriate template and save it in:
[pageseeder]/WEB-INF/config/template/[project]/notification
Source XML
The source XML has the following format (except for the external template) and includes the constants listed; some of these might change depending on your global Properties.
<notification template="[notification template]"
hosturl="[host URL, including siteprefix]"
emaildomain="[email domain]"
[notification specific attributes]>
[notification specific objects]
</notification>
Email format
By default, messages are sent in both HTML, and plain text format – to customize this, see Email format.
Email headers
To customize sender, reply-to, and other properties or to override the PageSeeder default settings – see email headers.

From
When sender is not “PageSeeder”, the from address is the notifyFromAddress value in the group properties. The default value is:
[user full name] <[hash unique to user]--noreply@[domain]>
The other values for “From” are the following:
- Author – is the person, not necessarily a group member, responsible for the creation or modification of a comment, document or URL. It matches the
<author>, <modifiedby>or<statuschangedby>element in the notification XML. - Member – is a user with a PageSeeder account matching the
<member>element in the notification XML. - Inviter – is the member that generated the invitation – for self registrations, or confirmations, Group or PageSeeder is used instead.
- Group – is the PageSeeder group related to the email, the default is:
PageSeeder (DO NOT REPLY) <pageseeder@[domain]>
- PageSeeder – is always
PageSeeder (DO NOT REPLY) <pageseeder@[domain]>.
To
For a member, including author or moderator, the “To” field will be the email address of the account.
In the case of the group, an email is sent to each member of that group depending on their notification settings.
