Feature request: Use User in email template

[Sharoon Thomas http://openlabs.co.in]

For example, I have configured poweremail to send automatically an email when an order is confirmed. Is it possible to display in the email the login of the person who did the "Confirm order", i.e. the person who initiated the workflow transition ?

Regards,

Implementing the feature

Hi Sixela,

A new feature has been introduced in commit 137 to incorporate this:

You can use ${env['user']} env stands for environment and I propose to introduce more variables into it.
the env[xyz] will return the browse record equivalent.

So if you want to use the name of the user then you can use:

${env['user'] and env['user'].name or ''}

It's working great !

Thank you very much Sharoon !

[Alexis de Lattre (alexis-via)]

By the way, it would be great to be able to access the database name with ${env['db']} for example.

Feature request accepted.

[Sharoon Thomas http://openlabs.co.in (sharoonthomas)]

Can you check and revert? I have put in the feature

[Alexis de Lattre (alexis-via)]

It is working very well. Users can now put ${env['db']} to print the database name in their mail templates !
