Where can I find more velocity templates for Jira emails?

Mark McD

I'd like to re-do some of the internal emails that Jira sends out to put the most useful & important information front & center.

I figure I can't be the first person to try & tackle this task, are there any places where I can find examples around? If not, does anyone have any examples they could share?

It's difficult to point you to examples when we don't know what you'd like to end up with!

Anything you can generate in text or html, you can do with the email templates. It can be more easy to start with what you want to end up with as plain text, and then slot the velocity in to extract the variables you need from Jira. If you've not worked with velocity before, then I'd take one of the existing .vm files and try re-arranging them first. Take care not to amend the # and $ bits, and you'll find you can re-order your emails any way you like.

Although it's not really examples, it's well worth a read of http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Adding+Custom+Fields+to+Email for the comments (And the body of the doc eases you into email editing too)
