posting as an admin, can mail be sent?

[hdraye]

Hi
I have started a directory of firms in my town, as I build up the directory I will be adding info myself as an empty directry wont atract anyone.

What I want to do, is whan I am done entering a firm (or on demand) send an email to firm owners telling them that apost was done on their behalf and invite them to verify info entered.

Can this be done, and how please?

Thanx in advance and all the best

add from the admin panel, load up link_add.php and change the "add_ok.mail" template to "add_ok2.mail"

Load up add_ok.mail and save it as add_ok2.mail and then make all the chanegs and write it however you like.

thats all, everythign from the admin panel will use this tempalate and send them the customized wording. Its different in v.6 so im assuming your using 5.4

[hdraye]

Thanx, yes I am using 5.4
BTW, where can I see V6 features? I am changing lots of templates, so I need to know if it would work with v6 or I'd better wait for the new release.
I saw the demo and I cant see any difference, am sure I am wrong otherwise they wouldnt call it V6

thanx again and all the best

Did not work, it adds as normal, but no mail was sent, any ideas??

Thanx

line 138 change to :


$body = EvalTemplate($theme_path . "/mail/add_ok2.mail", $links_obj->email_template_fields);


on link_add.php (and your adding from admin panel right?)

[hdraye]

yes am adding from admin panel
and the line you mention is identical to the one already in link_add.php (in admin folder, right?)

is there a switch I have to check in order to notify owner?

[inspireme]

huh? im really confused, if you are adding from the admin panel it sends the defauls "add_ok.html" email to them, i have asked you to make a change where a different customised template is sent. If nothing is beign sent then its a problem with your php sendmail.

[hdraye]

I dont know
if I fill the form as a user (add_form) I get the mail (2 mails)
if I fill from admin panel, no mail at all, not before the changes nor after

Make sure that when your adding it from the Admin Panel that you put a check mark in the field that says "Notify Link Owner" next to the "Submit" button

bingo
Stupid me, it was always there, and I was asking about it, and looking in all the wrong places :|

Thanx, now how can I have always on??

yep, it is easy to miss the checkbox and the wording to notify the link owner immediately to the left of of the submit button...

as for the check box itself, you'll need to edit the link_add_form.html and add the checked value

<input type="checkbox" name="notify_link_owner"
value="1" checked style="{vertical-align: middle;}">Notify Link Owner

Thanx, I know
I've been adding lots of links the last 5 hours, and I am acting like a robot without even checking where I click

Thanx again

As an old boss once told me, "When you are cutting down tress, you need to stop every once in a while and sharpen your axe." Always thought that was good advice.

Nah, he said "Don't pee into the wind, you'll get your shoes wet." He REALLY liked his shoes.
