Email Notification for Comments
« on: 14 Dec 2002, 15:27:39 »
Hello all,

I just implemented an email notification system for 'comments' (those things you can post about missions, tutorials, snippets and tools).

  • Authors will receive an email every time a comment is made about their resource (they can't turn it off just yet, but they will be able to via their 'modify resource' page in the near future).
  • When you make a comment you can select to 'Allow email notification'. You'll receive an email (to the address stated in your profile) every time someone else makes a comment on that resource.


You'll also see a new 'modify' icon under any comments you make. This allows you to modify the text of your comment as well as enable/disable the email notification.

When you disable notification for a single comment, it automatically disables the notification for every comment you've made for a given resource.

So, for now, rest assured that authors will be notified of your comment whether they like it or not ::)

This is still really a BETA, open to suggestions, and may contain bugs. I implemented it in really quick time so I may have missed something.

Please let me know if you can think of a better way to do this!

And thanks to the dude who gave me the idea (can't remember who it was right now though).

cya'all

Maybe you could implement something to notify the authors through the Private Message system?

I am not afraid of that since snYpir really knows what he is doing. :)

BTW snYpir I am using one of your mods on my forum. ;)
