I don't think there's any UI for this, but it could be scripted. I would use the new Mail Sender API ( http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Mail+Sender+API ). Iterating the list of users from a group and getting their email address shouldn't be that hard. Hope this helps, Marius On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 12:22 PM, Pascal BASTIEN <[email protected]> wrote:

Hello,

I want send mail from xwiki to inform XWikiAllGroup of my xwiki upgrade

I tested with Invitation application and share by email without success. Both want email or xwiki username.

Is it possible?

You are right. A random sleeping in velocity, inserted in my loop will be great to avoid this. Or concatenate all email to send only one mail with Bc. ... ?

Just my 2 cents: If you plan to send a lot of emails though the Internet, then your emails may be rejected by the mail providers, considering they are spams.

Use $user.getProperty('email').value to access the raw value, display methods generate HTML code.

Since 6.2, you can do $user.getValue('email') :)

"it's a kind of magic" for $stringtool :-)

I try this: {{velocity}}

$user -> $user.getProperty('email').value - $user.getValue('email')

You can always do $someVariable.class.name to see the Java class name and then to look for the corresponding javadoc to see the available method. In this case, $user is a plain Java string so it doesn't have the 'getProperty' method. If you don't believe me, look for 'searchDocuments' in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/SRD/Navigation?api=xwiki&xpage=embe... You need a Document object. See http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/SRD/Navigation?api=doc&xpage=embed which has 'getValue'. #set ($userDoc = $xwiki.getDocument($user)) $user.getValue('email')

#end #end

{{/velocity}}

and this:

{{velocity}} #set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers'") #set ($allUsers = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) #foreach ($user in $allUsers)

#set ($MyUser = $xwiki.getUser("$user"))

getUser return an object of type User, http://maven.xwiki.org/site/docs/xwiki-javadoc-4.1.x/com/xpn/xwiki/api/User.... , which doesn't have any getProperty or getValue method but has getEmail. You really need to check the type of objects you are using.

#if ($email != 'mailto:') ## $user -> $email $user -> $MyUser.getProperty('email').value - $MyUser.getValue('email') #end #end

{{/velocity}}

without success :-(
