Creating custom notifications

We would like to create notifications selected via our own template for a selection of subtrees. I have not found any documentation on how to do this. But I have been looking at the nofification/settings page and associated templates. I presume we will have to customise these.

Could somebody confirm this is the way forward and/or give us some other information?

thx
Clive

Hi,

I would recomend you this way, if it fullfills your needs, we have used with success in our projects, there is nothing wrong with it.

Actually you are customizing ezpublish templates , that's right, and on the other hand this way you are reusing ezpublish built-in notification for content objects, that it is also right

I am trying to do this by overriding the standard notification templates i.e.

[notification_settings]
Source=notification/settings.tpl
MatchFile=notification_settings.tpl
Subdir=templates

[notification_edit]
Source=notification/handler/ezsubtree/settings/edit.tpl
MatchFile=notification_edit.tpl
Subdir=templates

This is because I only want to set subtree notifications.

This does not seem to work art first try. The 'handler' variable set up in setting.tpl (notification_settings.tpl) in my override isn't being set.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

The notification system is now documented here: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/features/notifications
