Hi ! When a user has a notification set for Global > New Story in the news module, he gets notified even when the admin edit the news after it has been published. Is this the normal behavior of the notifications ?

If this is what's supposed to be, how can I prevent a user being notified when a simple edit of a news is done.

Also, is this the same in all modules using notifications?

Thanks fo your answers !

Notifications occour when a news file is new or has been editied as it is to notify the user that the story has changed. I dont believe you can turn it off without turning the whole notification block off.

Yes, I've done some more testing and it seems to be the default behavior. However, this does not seem to occured in mylinks or in soapbox.

Can someon confirm that to me?

Finally, anyone have a "quick hack" suggestion for a workaround?

Thanks for any help !

submit.php
$result $story->store();
    if (
$result) {
        
// Notification
        
$notification_handler =& xoops_gethandler('notification');
        
$tags = array();
...
etc...

before the $story->store(); make a check to see if $story->storyid is set (indicating whether the story is new or not) - if you do a simple
$isnew = isset($story->storyid) ? 0;

and then change the notification clause to
if ($result && $isnew) {


Try that out - but remember that there is both submit.php and an admin file to submit news

Ok, you sent me on the good track Mithrandir, thank you. I edited the admin/index.php file and now, when I edit an article in the admin interface, users don't get notify. Thanks !

For some of you how maybe thinking it's usefull, I published the file I've hacked here: No notifications on Edit for the News module

Cheers !

** KICK **

I have the same problem. I've read the reply of mithrandir, but i'm not sure what to edit. I think i only have to edit admin/index.php.

Now I have this:

$story -> store();
        
$notification_handler = & xoops_gethandler'notification' );
    
$tags = array();
        
$tags['STORY_NAME'] = $story -> title();
        
$tags['STORY_URL'] = XOOPS_URL '/modules/' $xoopsModule -> getVar'dirname' ) . '/article.php?storyid=' $story -> storyid();
        >>>>
$isnew = isset($story->storyid) ? 0;<<<<
    if ( !empty( 
$isnew ) )
        {
            
$notification_handler -> triggerEvent'story'$story -> storyid(), 'approve'$tags );
        } 
        
$notification_handler -> triggerEvent'global'0'new_story'$tags );
etc....

The line marked with >>><<< is the only thin i've added. At the moment I don't have the facilities to test it on a test install and I don't want to test it on the main server.
Is it right what i'm doing?

btw. I use news 1.1

does someone have an opinion about this????

I already tried this:

if ( !empty( $isnew ) )
        {
            
$notification_handler -> triggerEvent'story'$story -> storyid(), 'approve'$tags );
         
// } DELETED BY ME
        
$notification_handler -> triggerEvent'global'0'new_story'$tags );
        
/*
            $poster = new XoopsUser($story->uid());
            $subject = _AM_ARTPUBLISHED;
            $message = sprintf(_AM_HELLO,$poster->uname());
            $message .= "nn"._AM_YOURARTPUB."nn";
            $message .= _AM_TITLEC.$story->title()."n"._AM_URLC.XOOPS_URL."/modules/".$xoopsModule->dirname()."/article.php?storyid=".$story->storyid()."n"._AM_PUBLISHEDC.formatTimestamp($story->published(),"m",0)."nn";
            $message .= $xoopsConfig['sitename']."n".XOOPS_URL."";
            $xoopsMailer =& getMailer();
            $xoopsMailer->useMail();
            $xoopsMailer->setToEmails($poster->getVar("email"));
            $xoopsMailer->setFromEmail($xoopsConfig['adminmail']);
            $xoopsMailer->setFromName($xoopsConfig['sitename']);
            $xoopsMailer->setSubject($subject);
            $xoopsMailer->setBody($message);
            $xoopsMailer->send();
        } //ADDED BY ME
        */
    
}
        
redirect_header'index.php?op=newarticle'1_AM_DBUPDATED );
        exit();
        break;


see the comments. But it seems like now there will be no notification sent at all when creating new articles.
