Customise notifications

Dries,

Please file this as a suggestion or enhancement in the bug tracker as this is not possible now without tweaking the notification system.

It was also discussed a bit during the summer camp

I think I found it (at least it works like you want here on a live ezp 3.4.6 site):

in file kernel/classes/notification/handler/ezsubtree/ezsubtreehandler.php

around line 122 uncomment the part that checks for an updated version.

So change

...

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

....

to

...

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

....

Thanks for the pointers Paul.
I've managed to do what I wanted to do by implementing the code you gave, and also by changing:

if ( !$contentClass )
            return EZ_NOTIFICATIONEVENTHANDLER_EVENT_SKIPPED;

with

if ( !$contentClass ||
        	$contentClass->attribute( 'name' )!="News Article" )
        {
            return EZ_NOTIFICATIONEVENTHANDLER_EVENT_SKIPPED;
        }

where obviously "News Article" is the name of the content class of the content that I want to be queued for notifications.
This works fine. It'd be great, as a suggestion, if in a future release these things could be configured in the notification ini file.

Thanks again for the help.

Dries.
