Comment Moderation - Notifications?
20 January 2010 at 3:56am
Hi,
I've done about a dozen SilverStripe implementations and all of my clients are complaining about the lack of email notifications for comment moderation. I agree with them that the lack of this feature is sort of unacceptable, because if you don't enable moderation, your blog will get spammed to Death, and you don't want to have to go into the admin panel every single day just to Check if there are any new comments. I want to be Notified when I have a comment to moderate.
Am I missing something, or is this feature simply just not available? Could anyone offer me any advice on how I could Add it?
Thanks,
Garrett -

You could decorate the PageComment object, in the decorator override the onAfterWrite() function to do something like
$email = new Email();
$email->setTo('email@email.com');
$email->setSubject('New Comment');
// .. all the other options
$email->send();So after writing the comment it will trigger the onAfterWrite() when sends that email. You could also do some more fancy things like check page comments are moderatable

Thanks for your reply, @willr, though I'm afraid I don't know enough about the core code to fill in the missing details myself here. Where/what is the decorator override, and where is the onAfterWrite() function?

I haven't tested it but it would be something like this - http://pastie.org/787023. Once you get that code working you could easily extend the Email functionality - eg set a custom template, add the comment to the email or a link to it at least.
You would then add it to page comments like DataObject::add_extension('PageComment', 'CustomPageComment');

GREAT! Thanks for the fleshing-out, @willr! I will definitely try this out.

I've implemented the code and tried to extend it with code form http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=email. I would like to include a link to the page the comment has been made on in the email.
How can I include the page url information in the email?
mysite/code/PageCommentEmailNotification.php
<?php
class PageCommentEmailNotification extends DataObjectDecorator {
function onAfterWrite() {
$email = new Email();
$email->setTemplate('NewComment');
$email->setTo('email@ddre.ss');
$email->setSubject('New Comment ' . str_replace(array("http://", "https://"), array("", ""), Director::absoluteBaseURL()));
$email->populateTemplate(Member::currentUser());
$email->populateTemplate(array(
'Comment' => $this->owner->Comment,
));
$email->send();
}
}?>

Hi!
Can’t you use 'Page' => $this->owner->Parent()->Link() in the PopulateTemplate() array?
Hope it helps,

Thanks Juanitou, don't know why I didn't think of using $this->owner->Parent()->... myself. I ended up using:
$email->populateTemplate(array(
'URL' => Director::absoluteBaseURL() . $this->owner->Parent()->URLSegment,
'PageTitle' => $this->owner->Parent()->Title,
'Comment' => $this->owner->Comment,
));
