[4.0] Notification in Workflow can't be read by not administrator user

[paternax]

In the transition part of the Workflow component it is possible to create notifactions for users, which have to take the next step in the workflow. The information about the generation of new notification is sent by email which contains a link to the backend. The notification system is only accessible for administrators, so that users which have only a user group based on Registered can't read the notification.

There should be an option to send the whole notification per email, so that also not administrator user can read it.

@paternax I'm not sure what the use case would possibly be for a non-administrative user to receive the email. However I can see that workflows is not using the new mail templates which it probably should and that would resolve the problem. If no one beats me too it I will take a look at this

For example frontend editors who submit new blog posts could be informed about the change of stages.

ah - i see the problem now.

The email received is as folllows

The status of an Article has been changed 

Title: Typography, changed by Brian Teeman, new state: Basic Stage. 

Please log in to http://localhost/joomla-cms/administrator/index.php?option=com_messages&view=message&message_id=5 to read your message.

There should be an option to send the whole notification per email, so that also not administrator user can read it.

The problem is that there is no extra text to that email. It is complete but the link that a non-admin user cannot use suggests that there is something more that they can not see.

You can "fix" this for now by creating a language override for COM_MESSAGES_NEW_MESSAGE_BODY
