Hi Dr Obx,

Create a new XML file and add it to the __openerp__.py file as dependency. An example of such a template:

<openerp>
    <data noupdate="1"> 
       <record id="your_template_email" model="mail.template">
            <field name="name">Template title</field>
            <field name="email_from">${object.event_id.user_id.email or ''}</field>
            <field name="subject">${object.event_id.name} - Reminder</field>
            <field name="model_id" ref="calendar.model_calendar_attendee"/>
            <field name="email_to" >${('' if object.partner_id and object.partner_id.email and object.partner_id.email==object.email else object.email|safe)}</field>
            <field name="partner_to">${object.partner_id and object.partner_id.email and object.partner_id.email==object.email and object.partner_id.id or False }</field>
            <field name="auto_delete" eval="True"/>
            <field name="body_html"><![CDATA[
                <style>
                    span.oe_mail_footer_access {
                        display:block;    
                        text-align:center;
                        color:grey;                                
                    }
                </style>
                <div style="border-radius: 2px; max-width: 1200px; height: auto;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;background-color:#f9f9f9;">
                    <div style="height: auto;margin-left:12px;margin-top:30px;">
                        <p>ANY TEXT YOU WANT HERE!</p>
                    </div>            
                </div>
                ]]>
                </field>
        </record>
    </data>
</openerp>

As you can see you can add CSS etc in it. An important note is to add data noupdate="1" in it though! So the template is never reloaded.

Rob,

to loop throught the data which is not in current object, you can do that in python only, and send it to the template body...

you can get string of all the product details like this:

for lists in YOUR_DICTIONARY:

product_desc += """

<tr>

<td><b>%s</b></td>

<td> %s</td>

<td> %s</td>

.............[more_data]

</tr>

""" % (list['eproduct_id'], list['eproduct_qty'], list['emwosres']..........[more_data_reference])

then append it to the body
body = """

Hi,</br>

Please find Product details below:</br>

  <b><u>Product Details</u></b>: </br>

  <p>%s</p>

""" % (product_desc)

IF YOU DIRECTLY WANT TO SEND MAIL WITHOUT USING ANY TEMPLATE YOU CAN USE BELOW LOGIC

values = {}

values.update({'subject': 'Subject'})

values.update({'email_to': '[Email]'})

values.update({'body_html': body})

values.update({'body': body})

values.update({'res_id': ['CURRENT RECORD ID TO POST MESSAGE ON RECORD WALL']})

mail_mail_obj = self.pool.get('mail.mail')

msg_id = mail_mail_obj.create( cr, uid, values, context=context)

if msg_id:

mail_mail_obj.send(cr, uid, [msg_id], context=context)

OTHERWISE UPDATE THE BODY VALUE TO THE TEMPLATE AND SEND USING TEMPLATE ONLY

HOPE YOU GOT ME!!

By any chance, can I send an internal Odoo message instead or notification ?
