Sending notifications on new content publish only

Monday 30 April 2007 5:05:38 pm

Hi

I need to tweak subtree notifications to send emails only when new content is published. I have lots of edits on my web site, and it generates too many notification events, so I need to discard edit notifications.

Is there any documentation on this issue (I haven't found any)?

Is the only way of doing this creating my own notification handler? If yes, is there any documentation how to do it?

Thnx

Yes, I found that solution also, but then I would lose all the stuff notification brings with it. (delayed sending of emails, digest messages...).

All I want to do is to filter out edits of existing objects.

I made a quick fix by adding

        if ($versionObject->attribute( 'version' ) != 1)
        {
             return EZ_NOTIFICATIONEVENTHANDLER_EVENT_SKIPPED;
        }

to kernel/classes/notification/handler/ezsubtree/ezsubtreehandler.php , handlePublishEvent function.

This could be done more elegant by custom notification handler, but the change is so small (the line is already there in the file, but commented), and we are currently in a tight time schedule.

I would add it as a feature request, but don't know where. :-)
