Email notifictions

[defunctl]

Feature Request: Send an email notifications when a clone has been created to Editors and Admins.

At the very least add some hooks so plugin authors could write a plugin to do this.

Thanks

I've had luck with this plugin to at least define which admin email to send notifications to: http://wordpress.org/plugins/email-post-changes/

I have my users set as contributors instead of the BU Section Editor role that comes with the suite of BU plugins

Any update on this...

The plugin is great but we Admin users to be notified. We're trying to manage a site with over 2000 pages in different custom post types. Without email notifications how would we ever know?

I made something temporary for this but it does require hacking the source.

In bu-versions.php line 269:

        if ( 'default' == $page_template || in_array($page_template, $page_templates) ) {
            update_post_meta($post_id, '_wp_page_template',  $page_template);
        }

change it to:

        if ( 'default' == $page_template || in_array($page_template, $page_templates) ) {
            update_post_meta($post_id, '_wp_page_template',  $page_template);
            // hack: add an action to hook into once a clone is successfully completed
            do_action('bu_version_create', $post_id );
        }

I then created a small plugin to send notifications to all admins/editors or whichever roles you define, which is available here: https://gist.github.com/defunctl/6400343

Hope it helps.

So if you used the default WP role of Contributor would it not send email notifications anyhow?

Kind regards

It will only send notifications to the roles you specify on line 40 on dmg-versions-notifictions.php:

$roles = array('Administrator', 'Editor');

[limeybloke]

What I mean is if I don't use that plugin and just set the user role to be a Contributor would it not send emails by default?

Have you used this notification plugin in an production environment? How tested is it?

Ps thanks so much for helping!

Kind regards

I'm not sure what you mean. I'm not using http://wordpress.org/plugins/email-post-changes/. I am using my custom plugin which I have not yet tested in a full production environment, just a dev environment with about 10 testers. So far no issues. It's a small plugin, you can review the code and the hack to bu-versions is just to add an action to hook into once a clone was created.

Ok thanks

Ill take a look.

But what I was meaning is WP by default sends emails when a contributor submits a post for review. On that basis - rather than using the role Section Editor - if we use that role and the user create a revision would it then send the email?

I suppose what I am saying is the plugin revisions using the built in WP functionality?

Kind regards
