I have resolved the above issue, Now i really want help from someone to continue the further code implementation,
here I am producing my following approach,
1) Created ext plugin for custom template.
2) Created hook for custom velocity variables.
3) through session , i am reading velocity variables in ext plugin for template.
4) created a entry in database for templates and accessing this template in my another custom portlet.
5) I have embedded this custom portlet in control panel. and accessing created template in ext plugin from database entry.
6) next what i want here is, this template in control panel should be editable and applied changes in template should be apply to source template in ext plugin.

please anyone suggest me Is i am following proper approach? If I am right please help me out ,how i Can control in coding to make template editable in control panel?

I get strucked in this particular implementation. If someone push me in the implementation will be grateful.

How about if I use configuration mode concept here? If I use this concept, Is it possible to reach my requirement.? Or someone have other idea on this please post your reply.

Thanks in advance

Hi mario duck,
I am able to solve this requirement by following the below mentioned workflow,

1) place a mail template in directory structure
2) set mail template path in liferay property file.
3) access the mail template path through property file in a business code.
4) put variable values to template file from controller class and send a mail.

If you need any code help according to this workflow please mail me at [e-mail]

Hi,

I solve this problem, for my requirements in Liferay 6.0.6, in this way:

1) I made jsp hook of:
- ROOT/html/portlet/enterprise_admin/settings/email_notifications.jsp;
- ROOT/html/portlet/enterprise_admin/settings/definition_of_terms.jspf;
In detail, for email_notifications.jsp, I added one or more sections into lifeary-ui:tabs and saved its input values (subject and body) like the others(all notifications are saved as portletpreferences of portal).

2)I made my NotificationUtil.java that retrieves portletpreferences (example: String body = PrefsPropsUtil.getString(companyId, "MyPrefsPropsName")) and sends the message through MailServiceUtil.

I hope this helps.
