Best way to add extra info to assign notification email

Question

Hi, 
 I would like to add extra information to the notification email template. More information regarding the record that is being assigned. When I add $contacts_name using the insert button it doesn't seem to be working? Is there an easy (read: non programming) to add extra information to the assign notification mail?

Hi Jeroen Somhorst

I created a Document.php which is extending the core file (custom/modules/Documents/Document.php) :

<?PHP

require_once('modules/Documents/Document.php');
class CustomDocument extends Document {

    function set_notification_body($xtpl, $document)
    {
	    $document->load_relationship('accounts');
	    foreach ($document->accounts->getBeans() as $acc) {
            $xtpl->assign("CUSTOMER", $acc->name);
        	$xtpl->assign("CUSTOMERNUM", $acc->customernum_c);
    	}

        $xtpl->assign("NAME", $document->document_name);

        return $xtpl;
    }

}

And my custom/include/language/en_us.notify_template.html

<!-- BEGIN: Document_Subject -->
SugarCRM - {CUSTOMER} - Document {NAME} assigned
<!-- END: Document_Subject -->
<!-- BEGIN: Document -->
{ASSIGNER} has assigned the Document {NAME} to {ASSIGNED_USER} for {CUSTOMER} ({CUSTOMERNUM}).

You may review this Document at:
{URL}
<!-- END: Document -->

You have to add the whole assignment templates otherwise it won't display the other notifications.

Is this ok for you ?
