EEC.MS - ExpressionEngine add-ons

Hi Max, thanks for all your great work, I get a lot of use out of your addons.

Could you tell me if it is possible to send an email to the author of an entry, or multiple authors of an entry with MX Notify Control? It doesn’t seem to be at the moment, but maybe it is a simple feature to add?

So instead of entering the {mbr_email} tag in the the email to address, enter something like {author_email} ?

I have a site using the Solspace User Module where entries can have multiple authors assigned. 

I need to send notification emails to these authors when an entry is either created or updated.

Thanks again for your time.

     

do you try to use {author_email}?

Yes, I just tried that but I haven’t received any mail. I can however send mail from EE’s Communicate tool, so there doesn’t seem to be a problem with sending mail. Is this something you have built in already?

     

Ok great, I have this sort of working, but I am not able to send to multiple authors.

     

Ok, I’ve modified ext.mx_notify_control.php to look for additional authors added with the Solspace User Module. If they exist the mail goes to all of them, if not the mail goes to the author assigned by EE. So should work with & without the User module.
