Customize Ektron HTML Form Email Layout

1
votes

I would like to know if there's a way to customize the email HTML body contents when submitting an Ektron HTML form.

For example, a form is submitted and the form data is emailed to [email protected]. Upon opening the email, there is a table containing the data from the submitted form. I want to know if there's a way to modify the HTML table which was generated for that email.

My goal is to experiment with some CSS to force word-wrapping in the table so lengthy textarea-input data will be wrapped appropriately.

I've never tried customizing it, so I don't know if there are any "gotchas", but these files look promising:

  • /Workarea/controls/forms/DefaultFormEmailBody.xslt
  • /Workarea/controls/forms/template_FormDataDisplay.xslt
  • /Workarea/controls/forms/template_FormFieldValue.xslt

The table is generated in "template_FormDataDisplay.xslt", and the individual table rows are generated in "template_FormFieldValue.xslt".

The usual "I want to modify something in the workarea" warning applies: Make backups of any file you change, and know that installing an upgrade to Ektron will overwrite any of your changes.

Are you using php? Because you can edit the way that email looks once you open it. This is an awesome tutorial:
