Notifications of New Postings by Email - Module

3 March 2010 at 6:48pm
hi
I've created a silverstripe module, my first, that enables email notification to one email address each time a posting is made anywhere in the forums. The use case here is for a group of forum administrators for a company to be notified under a group alias, e.g. forumadmin@yourcompany.com and then moderate with immediate effect instead of having to hunt through postings.
The code can be found at
http://github.com/gordonbanderson/SilverstripeForumModerationEmails
It decorates the relevant Forum class in order to avoid having to make changes directly to the Forum module in a 'hacky' way
Feedback welcome - as I said it is my first module
Cheers
Gordon

Nice addition. I know a couple people have been looking for this.
One of the features I have to implement in the module is a more robust moderation system so going to probably add forum email notifications, pending rss feeds etc but this module will help solve the issue in the short term!

hi Willr
Thanks for the comments. Email notification seemed the simplest option, and I based the module on the Embargo / Expiry one once I saw how the decorator pattern was used in that module.
I guess the only problem with email notification regarding possible spam content is if the email itself is placed into a spam folder and ignored
Regards
Gordon
