I would like to customize the template of the email sent about flagged Message Boards posts

Issue

• When a user flags a message as inappropriate in Message Boards, the admin user receives an email notification.
• I would like to customize the subject and the body of this email template.

Environment

• DXP 7.1+

Resolution

• The original template files are located in \liferay_home\osgi\marketplace\Liferay Collaboration - Liferay Flags - Impl.lpkg\com.liferay.flags.service-version.jar\com\liferay\flags\dependencies (email_flag_body.tmpl & email_flag_subject.tmpl)
• You will need to override these files to modify the template.
• You will have to create a fragment module, using the following steps (original documentation: Fragment Template).

1. Create a fragment module:

   blade create -t fragment -h com.liferay.flags.service -H 3.0.9 FlagsCustomMailTemplate

2. Copy your customized template files into src\main\resources\com\liferay\flags\dependencies (custom_email_flag_body.tmpl & custom_email_flag_subject.tmpl)
3. Build the project using:

   gradlew build

4. The jar file will be created in the build\libs directory
5. Deploy the created jar (flagscustommailtemplate-1.0.0.jar)
6. In Control Panel > Instance Settings > Community Tools, update the settings for the template files as follows:
   Email Body: com/liferay/flags/dependencies/custom_email_flag_body.tmpl
   Email Subject: com/liferay/flags/dependencies/custom_email_flag_subject.tmpl
   Control Panel in DXP 7.3:
