how to set a different message for an email template in odoo? - odoo

Question

I created a custom module and had used the calendar object to create an event and the code is as follows
def create_calender_event(self,cr,uid,ids,context=None):
calendar_obj = self.pool.get('calendar.event')
for rec in self.browse(cr,uid,ids,context=context):
if rec.action:
for rec_res in rec.action:
calendar_obj.create(cr,uid,{'name' : rec_res.act_ion,
'user_id' : rec_res.asgnd_to.id,
'start_date' : rec_res.due_date,
'stop_date' : rec_res.due_date,
'allday' : True,
'partner_ids' : [(6,0, [rec_res.asgnd_to.partner_id.id])]
},context=context)
This will create a event in respective user's calendar, but it uses default template message.
How can i replace the calendar invitation template message by custom message ?

Answer 1

you can do like this from py file
1) get the template_id and browse the object
2) the template body will be stored in 'body_html' field
3) store the body_html field in one variable, lets say: old_body
4) then add your customized code to template's 'body_html' field and write the values into template using the above temlate_id
5) send the mail, using send method
6) then write back the old_body value back to the template.
just for idea, refer this....
template_id = template_pool.search(cr,uid,[('name','=ilike',template_name)])
if template_id:
template_obj = template_pool.browse(cr, uid, template_id)
body = template_obj.body_html
body_old = body
count = 0
body += " For %s Study Notes PDF Click here "%(url['subject'],url['url'])
template_pool.write(cr, uid, template_id, {'body_html':body})
template_pool.send_mail(cr, uid, template_id[0], record.id)
template_pool.write(cr, uid, template_id, {'body_html':
body_old})

Answer 2

It's email template with xml id "calendar_template_meeting_invitation" is used to send invitation. So find this template and change to whatever you want. Under template its called "Meeting Invitation" email template.

UPDATES================================
on calendar.event object create and write method calls the method create_attendees which create all attendee and send email invitation by calling method _send_mail_to_attendees code ref, so you need to overload that function and remvoe that statement so it doesn't send email when attendee is created rather send invitation when you want.
