Email alerts for new content creation
By colinliu
Hi All,
I am working on a plugin that will allow users to register for email alerts when new content is CREATED for a object type, in this case "about". How do I do this as I'm not sure my approach is correct?
I looked into
register_elgg_event_handler
Which is fine but how do I create the relationship between the user and
object-type when the relationship is based on two existing GUID?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thx

You must log in to post replies.You could certainly create an object for each object type that the users subscribe to. Alternatively, you may consider using meta data instead of relationship.
How well do you think this new feature would scale? Any access control issue?
Hi Colin,
Did you get any success in this plugins? I am looking for similar plugins as mentioned in my thread http://community.elgg.org/discussion/view/1421644/email-alerts-from-all-users-in-case-of-new-blog-new-page-or-new-post-in-group
