Sending notifications on new content publish only

Hi

I need to tweak subtree notifications to send emails only when new content is published. I have lots of edits on my web site, and it generates too many notification events, so I need to discard edit notifications.

Is there any documentation on this issue (I haven't found any)?

Is the only way of doing this creating my own notification handler? If yes, is there any documentation how to do it?

Thnx

Hi Igor,

You can also define a CustomEditHandler that sends a mail only when a content is created : http://serwatka.net/en/blog/ez_publish_3_8_new_custom_edit_handler

Yes, I found that solution also, but then I would lose all the stuff notification brings with it. (delayed sending of emails, digest messages...).

All I want to do is to filter out edits of existing objects.

It would be good to see that as a default option in the ini files I think as it is something many sites would find useful. Perhaps even with the ability to limit this behavior to certain subtrees or site sections.

Another badly needed setting is the ability to receive notifications about added locations which currently requires a hack.

I suggest you put in a feature request and post the link back here so people can support it.

I made a quick fix by adding

        if ($versionObject->attribute( 'version' ) != 1)
        {
             return EZ_NOTIFICATIONEVENTHANDLER_EVENT_SKIPPED;
        }

to kernel/classes/notification/handler/ezsubtree/ezsubtreehandler.php , handlePublishEvent function.

This could be done more elegant by custom notification handler, but the change is so small (the line is already there in the file, but commented), and we are currently in a tight time schedule.

I would add it as a feature request, but don't know where. :-)
