Hi, Is it possible to configure ezpublish to send an email to someone once the content they have sent for publishing has been approved or declined by an editor or administrator? Andy

Sounds like you might need a custom workflow event. http://share.ez.no/learn/ez-publish/creating-a-simple-custom-workflow-event

By default, eZ Publish doesn't do that kind of stuff. it only e-mails the approvators whenever a new object needs to be approved, but it doesn't send any email when you approve or decline it. i'm working in a custom extension trying to add this kind of feature. maybe you can give it at try https://github.com/crevillo/ezapprovetanta

Hi Carlos, I've downloaded your ezapprovetanta extension and added it to my web site. I've activated the extension within the ez Setup area. Do I need to do anything else to get the workflow working? Thanks, Andy

If all went well, you need to add a "Tanta Approve" event to your workflow instead of the default 'Approve' one. it works just exactly as the default one, adding some things in order to difference the approve collaboration items from the default one. then, you just need to be sure that the people involved in the collaboration workflow are subscribed to "Tanta Approve Notifications" and not only the default "Approve Notifications" one. Hope it helps.

Hi Carlos, Are you saying that I need to edit the 'Before publishing' workflow that is currently using the default 'Event/Approve' and sends emails to the editors to let them know that they have content to approve or decline or should I create a new workflow using your 'Tanta Approve' for 'After publishing' to work with the 'after' Connection Type Trigger?

hi again. yep, sorry about my english. i know is not very understable :). what you need is to edit your before publishing workflow and add a tanta approve event. obviously this will only affect to new items, not the ones you previously have. if you add this tanta approve to your before publish workflow, then you can safely remove the default ez publish approve one. what tanta approve does is just create new messages when comment is added to the collaboration item, and also when it's approved or denied. in brief, it can replace the default one. let me know if you need further help and if you prefer to do it by gtalk or something. thanks for trying :).

Carlos,You're english is absolutely fine :-)The only problem is that no emails are being sent to the editors to let them know that content needs to be approved and no emails are being sent to the user who created the content when the content has been approved.Happy to talk on gtalk tomorrow - which timezone are you in? I'm in England.Andy

btw, i suppose you have setup ez publish runcronjob just like you did with default approve workflow, right?

I haven't changed the cronjob since adding your tanta approve event. It's set to run the 'frequent' cron jobs every 5 minutes. Do I need to change something to let the cronjob know about the new event?

Wops. sorry. your cronjob seems to be well configured. notification.php should be the one in charge of sending the emails. if it's not working, it has to be something else.

If I remove your event and add the default 'event/approve' back in - then the emails start being sent again. Has anyone else reported this problem? I was really hoping that your extension would work as I need to go live with my site in the next few days. Andy
