The MX Notify Control extension allows you to send customized notifications by emails/PMs based on different triggers.
List of triggers which you can use now:
- Member creating in CP
- Member registration (in case if you don’t have validation)
- User Register (Solspace)
- User Register (ZOO)
- Member Validation
- New Entry create
- Entry update
Tags:
Tags for message template: {mbr_username}, {mbr_screen_name}, {mbr_email}, {site_name}, {site_url}, {sender_id}, {member_id}.
For CP, User, Member register w/o validation - {password}.
For Entry Update/ New Entry you have {entry_id}
If you want to send notifications to member which just was registered or validate, please use tag {mbr_email} in the “To Email” field
!Also you can use regular EE templates for Email messages.
example of template for a new entry notification:
{exp:channel:entries channel="about" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
{body}
{/exp:channel:entries}
I will add more examples soon.
*Needs more triggers/settings? Just send me a note with what do you need!

Hi Max, tried to use this extension but I get a Javascript error saying that there is an “unterminated string literal” at line 248 somewhere around template =”. Any suggestions on how to get it working?

Hello Sambo,
1. is it possible to look on it inside your CP?
2. if not - open the page sources in browser and send me the js block with “template” variable.
Thanks!

Around about here.
[removed]template = “
<tbody class=\“event_{row}\”>
<tr class=\“header\”>
<th><span class=\“trigger_title\” rel=\”{row}\” id=\“trigger_title_{row}\”>Message #{row} </span><input name=\“Mx_notify_control_ext[row_order][]\” value=\”{row}\” type=\“hidden\”/><input dir=\“ltr\” 100%;display:none;\” name=\“Mx_notify_control_ext[trigger_name_{row}]\” id=\“trigger_name_{row}\” value =\”\” size=\“20\” maxlength=\“120\” class=\“name_input\” type=\“text\” rel=\”{row}\”><span></th>
<th><div 100%;\”><span right;\”>
<input value=\“Delete rule\” class=\“submit\” type=\“button\”></span></div></th>
</tr>
<tr class=\“even\”>

Could you add the ability to email the author of a post on entry update? I’m looking at this extension to manage a workflow where a user submits a post for approval, an admin can either approve or deny it and I want the original author of the post to get an email either way.
Thanks,

Max I pm’d you some control panel credentials so that you could see the errors more closely.

Sambo Could you please try the new version?
Wes Baker You can also try version in attachment – tag {author_email}

Max,
The {author_email} works great. However, it’s no longer using the template for the email. It’s sending the email to the correct person, with the correct Subject, but there’s no body to the email.
Thanks,
Wes

Hi Max,
I’m not sure what this extension is supposed to do but I set up a rule for email validation.
Am I right that this is supposed to override the standard EE member activation email? If so then it doesn’t do that, I still get the standard email. The link for that shows a screen that says “The URI you submitted has disallowed characters”.

Hi Max,
A while back Chuck Norton posted on the forum saying that when we register a new member the email doesn’t send. He gave you login info via PM. I’m now working on a new template for the email, but I’m having the same problem. I haven’t received any emails to test the output. Could you log back in with the info he gave you and check it out. I uploaded the lasted version 2.1.2 today.
Thanks!

Oh my! What do you know? The ) should be a }
*sigh*

Max,
Quick question - do you know if there is any way to send emails in CP_Registration based on which member group is being added? Example: registering a ‘subscription1’ member group would send that user a different email then adding a ‘subscription2’ member group.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello,
I started this thread over on DevotEE about some PHP errors I have been having with this add-on:
http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/support/mx-notify-control/viewthread/238/
Is that the best place for support, or do you prefer this thread?
Thanks,
Seamus
