Hi,
I can't seem to get the collaboration (ezapprove) notification to work.

I'm using the default cronjob.ini settings:

[CronjobPart-frequent]
Scripts[]=notification.php
Scripts[]=workflow.php

This settings in site.ini

[MailSettings]
Transport=sendmail
AdminEmail=me@mydomain.com
EmailSender=me@mydomain.com

And I have "Approval" checked in Dashboard > My notification settings.

And when i run

 php -C runcronjobs.php -s siteaccess_admin frequent

I get the following output

Using siteaccess siteaccess_admin for cronjob
Running cronjob part 'frequent'
Running cronjobs/notification.php at: 03/06/2010 21:26
Starting notification event processing

Running cronjobs/workflow.php at: 03/06/2010 21:26
Checking for workflow processes

Evento del flujo de trabajo ha sido prorrogado a una tarea programada (cron job)(4): 4

0 out of 4 processes was finished
Completing cronjobs/workflow.php at: 03/06/2010 21:26
Elapsed time: 00:00:01

But I receive no email. I can confirm that the subtree notification emails are sent correctly, and that the items to be approved show up in Dashboard > Collaboration, but I get absolutely no emails regarding collaboration. I also checked in eZ Publish logs, syslog, and mail.log and I see no relevant information.

What am I missing?

Thank you for answering.

Dashboard > Notifications > Approval is checked, so that's not it.

I am that user! I hadn't set the user account to receive collaboration notifications. After doing so (Go to My Account -> My notification settings. Under Collaboration notification, make sure that the Approval checkbox is ticked) that user started to receive collaboration notifications. Great! But then we upgraded eZ Publish from 4.2 to 4.3 and the collaboration emails are no longer sent! Ordinary notification emails still work. What is going on?

Problem solved by searching ez.no more deeply! This is due to a bug introduced into eZ Publish versions 4.3 and 4.4.

The solution at http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=17353 worked for me.

Thanks for sharing the information Andy!

@Gabriel, can you check if the above also fixes your problem?
