Where is the actual text used in email notifications?

Bradley Kyer August 25, 2011


I see the following files under ...\WEB-INF\classes\templates\email\HTML\includes.
footer.vm, header.vm, summary-bottom.vm and summary-topleft.vm

Footer for example looks like this:

--
$i18n.getText("template.footer.text")
-
$i18n.getText("template.footer.text.incorrect", "${baseurl}/secure/Administrators.jspa")
-
$i18n.getText("template.footer.text.info")

And the email received contains the following actual wording:

--
This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
-
If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://BlahBlahBlah/Administrators.jspa
-
For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

So, my question is - Where do I find the actual text "If you think it was sent incorrectly" that getText("template.footer.text") is referencing because I would like to modify the text, or add new lines / messages and even add other fields with their data/text. And since the actual text appears to be sorted somewhere, I woul dlike to follow the same pattern to modify it.

We are on Enterprise Edition, Version: 3.13-#330

Thanks,
Brad.

I think you want customizing text:

You'll want 'template.footer.text' in there. I think that goes back to 3.13, but is still accurate now...

That page seems to have been deleted. If you are going to link to documentation, ensure that the page will not be deleted. The other alternative is to also post the relevant information to this forum so that future users can find this helpful. This would be a great answer if the link still worked, or we had a simple folder path to a file. If someone can please update this, that would be great. Thanks.

Ok, found the actual folder and file location for the i18n values for email notifications: <Installation Location>\atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\classes\com\atlassian\jira\web\action\JiraWebActionSupport.properties
