Customizing summary alerts

We have a wiki page with a few updates a day. People setup the alert to get a daily summary of the changes.

In this summary email, most changes (new pages, updated pages) are just displayed with title, modified, and modified by columns.
Only a very few are also displayed with the wiki content of the page.

As many consumers want to see the changes offline in there email, I would like to know, how to setup the alert, so that all changes come with the wiki content

    Hi J,

    Please clarify; do you want the actual changed wiki content to be added to the email

    Yes, I want to see them the changes so that they are informed what's new.

    BTW, the wiki pages are under workflow, so I assume that users with read permission only see approved changes

    Actually, it works, but not always. I wondered, why in the summary report wiki content of some pages is included, and sometimes not.

    What I found out is, that only content of those pages, which have been approved at least once (after creation), and are changed after an approval, is included in the summary.

    So is this a bug Of course I want to see wiki content of created wiki pages in the summary report, at least once they are approved after its creation.

    Normally you'd change the underlying XML files but I don't think you can include dynamic content.

    Alternatively, you could go about this programmatically. Using the built-in event handlers you can grab any event fired, including when a wiki is changed.

    Nick Swan has written a very informative article about the subject here.
