In Alfresco, I have multiple workflows in which i send an email based on certain events. Each e-mail template uses the same layout and design. Therefore, I want to import a "shell" template and pass in different variables based on the type of workflow and event.

// lib/utils.html.ftl
<#macro shell greeting>
   ${greeting}
</#macro>

So as example, I have a task-assignment.ftl template, where I want to import my base template.

// task-assignment.html.ftl
<#import "./lib/utils.html.ftl" as utils>
<#assign greeting="${greeting!'Hello User'}" />
<@utils.shell greeting />

My problem is the value of the path to the file in the Freemarker <#import >.

I can't figure out how to get the path in a format that Freemarker understands and Alfresco can provide.

var file = companyhome.childrenByXPath("/app:company_home/app:dictionary/app:email_templates/cm:test/cm:utils.html.ftl");


logger.log(file[0].url) => /d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/08234083-23948234-2349834/utils.html.ftl

<#import file as utils>

Caused by: freemarker.core._MiscTemplateException: Error reading imported template string://d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/08234083-23948234-2349834/utils.html.ftl

Does anyone know, how to get the path to the file in a format that Freemarker is happy with and Alfresco is able to provide?

I'm using Freemarker version 2.3.20 and Alfresco Community version 6.1.2.

You can use the import your base template if that's also in your classpath. See the below code snippet.

<#import "../refresh_script.html.ftl" as refresh>

<div id="Rec1" class="info">
    <div id="Ctrl_top_read" class="titremontre hd" ><img src="${url.context}/images/deployment_report.gif" alt="icon"><span class="titlebox">${msg("mostread")}</span></div>
    <@refresh.displayRefreshButton />
    <div onClick="Display(this)" id="bt_top_read" class="button buttonUp"></div>
    <div id="top_read" class="montre bd">
    <#if topread?string?trim=="nodata" || topread?string?trim=="error" || topread?string?trim=="invalid">
        <div class="${topread?string?trim}">${msg("${topread?string?trim}")}</div>
    <#else>
        ${topread}
    </#if>
    </div>
</div>

To get the Noderef in ftl file.

Define <param name="destination">{node.nodeRef}</param> in your action alfresco includes the noderef as a hidden input field.

Then youy can do document.getElementById("{}").value or YAHOO.util.Dom.get("{}").value to get the nodeRef.

  • Thank you for the reply. How is it related to the question? I*m pretty sure I didn't formulate my question very well. The question is: how to import an Alfresco [NodeRef](http://dev.alfresco.com/resource/AlfrescoOne/5.0/PublicAPI/org/alfresco/service/cmr/repository/NodeRef.html) (as example pointing to task-assignment.html.ftl) in the Freemarker template (as example shell.html.ftl)? – Kim Skovhus Andersen Apr 22 '21 at 08:55
  • I have updated my original answer and added the code snippets to get the noderef un ftl file. Hope this helps – Arjun Apr 22 '21 at 16:35
  • I'm testing in the JavaScript console. In the JavaScript input: var file = companyhome.childrenByXPath("/app:company"....etc); model['file'] = file[0].nodeRef; Then in the Freemarker input: <#import file as utils> 'Error reading imported template Node Type: {http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}content Node Ref: workspace://SpacesStore/34987sdf-9a8sdfa-asdfasdfasdf87 – Kim Skovhus Andersen Apr 23 '21 at 10:04
