Forum Notifications

Hi Joe,

I just started a portal for my family, and I have already received a couple of feature requests from them already. I have implemented these requests, as they are not that major, but I would appreciate it if they can be included in a future build.

1. Include the message body (just the newly posted one) in the email notifications -- it's easier for the Blackberry crowd to see the update directly in the email notification

2. Ability to set the "from" email to a static email. This will allow the recipients to add this static email address to the "white list" or the contact list, so that it won't be mis-treated as SPAM by the SPAM filters

3. Include the "from" email address and name in the notification body. This is because of #2.

Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to create a .zip file with the changed files and email them to me along with a statement that your contribution is licensed under the CPL I will consider integrating your changes when I have time. joe dot audette at g mail dotcom

1. is ok if its a config option. I can probably add the config option if you haven't done that.

2. I don't really know what you mean by static email address. The from address used is the one from sitesettings and it should be set to the the same as the email account you are using to send mail (ie smtp settings) or some mail servers will perceive it as spoofing an address and this may trigger spam blocking. I don't see what prevents adding it to a white list as it is now, it always comes from the same address.

Best,

Joe

Re: Forum Notifications

FYI, I just implemented an option to include the post body in forum notification email so it will be an option in the next release.

Best,

Joe
