You may have read my previous blog of Html Mail Action inside alfresco 3.4d.If you have not read this , than before continuing with this you need to read that blog.
Below is the screen shot of site invitation page in alfresco using which we can invite user to join site.
Normally if we want to change site invitation template , than we need to modify invite-email.ftl file which is located at /Data Dictionary/Email Templates/invite location.Now as you all know for adding HTML content inside any templates in alfresco the custom action should support HTML content.Previously we have created an action which supports HTML content.Now in this case for site invitation it executes in built mail action, which does not supports html content.For this we need to modify site invitation workflow so that it executes customized mail action.
Follow below steps for that.
Step 1 : Customize Site Invitation Workflow
File which needs to be customized for modifying this workflow is located on below location tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/workflow/invitation-nominated_processdefinition.xml.Content of that file is as below.
First is changing tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\bootstrap-context.xml file and making redeploy true and than restart server.
Second is do hot deployment of workflow.One of my colleague has written very good blog on Hot Deployment of Alfresco Workflow.
Step 2 : Change Site Invitation Java Custom Action
First we will modify a file which is referenced in site invitation workflow.In that file we will set html parameter true.Below will be the content of that file.
Now we will modify another file which is actually sending mail.In this we need to create our html action if the parameter html is true and we will set html parameter true if we want html content.Below is content of that file.Check line number 114 and 115 for this on below file.
Step 3 :Add html content in site invitation template
Now modify the content of site invitation template, as we are doing normally.
Below is the screen shot of site invitation page in alfresco using which we can invite user to join site.

File which needs to be customized for modifying this workflow is located on below location tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/workflow/invitation-nominated_processdefinition.xml.Content of that file is as below.
In above file if you notice line number 15.We have changed java package.For redeploying workflow definition there are 2 ways.#{bpm_assignee.properties['cm:userName']}
First is changing tomcat\webapps\alfresco\WEB-INF\classes\alfresco\bootstrap-context.xml file and making redeploy true and than restart server.
Second is do hot deployment of workflow.One of my colleague has written very good blog on Hot Deployment of Alfresco Workflow.
Step 2 : Change Site Invitation Java Custom Action
