Subscription/notification

Thursday 04 March 2004 4:09:53 am

Are there any doc. on how the notification works, and how to eZ implement this? Did a search, but this url was the only doc. I found:

http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/reference/modules/notification

Bård wrote this july 23. 2003(topic eZ.no-notification):
"Yes, we will add documentation on how to do this. We should probably do a tutorial on how we implemented the notifications on ez.no".
(*http://www.ez.no/community/forum/suggestions/ezno_forum_notification*)

Does this documentation exist? Tried the search, but didn't find anything.

Best regards

NOTE: email-subscription on articles on a news site when they're published or contains specific words(registered by the user). The user register keywords, and his/her email-address. Then he/she get an email when a new article is published.

WISH: I want to implement a subscription-function on my news site directly(like the right-menu here: http://www.sfgate.com/newsletters/ ), without first implementing a "Subscribe button".

This is the code for the "subscribe button" (which I actually don't want to use):
<form action={"/notification/edit/"|ezurl} method="post" name="SubscribeForm">
{include uri="design:gui/button.tpl" name=Subscribe id_name=SubscribeToNodeButton value=Subscribe}
<input type="hidden" name="SubscribeNodeID" value="{$node.node_id}">
<input type="hidden" name="SubscribeNodeName" value="{$node.object.name}">
</form>

The action above takes the user to another template(the one below), where the user is able to fill inn a word(a word which we're going to do a check on. If an article contains this word, then we're going to send him/her an email with the url to the new published article which contains this word). The user fills in his/her e-mail address, and selects when the e-mail shall be sent (select list).

The QUESTION is: I want to implement the code below into a news-listing template, AND DROP THE BUTTON "SUBSCRIBE"(which takes me to another template), without the user have to click on a "subscribe button" to get to these fields listed below.

E.g. at the end of a news sites article listing I want these fields, and a Register-button, so the user only need ONE CLICK instead of two. BUT, the action below only gives me a blank page. I've included the hidden tag from above(SubscribeNodeID, which is 22), but I think I miss something. DOES ANYONE know if I'm missing any hidden tag..or is my ACTION wrong?

<form action={concat($module.functions.edit.uri,"/",$rule_type,"/",$rule_id)|ezurl} method="post" name="Edit">
