I all,

I would like to make a patch to XOOPS 2.2+ (.3RC1 running), so the user or admin can set if the poster should receive own notifications. In particular, for the Forum.

So, questions.

1: Where does XOOPS Notification determine if the notification is about to go to the 'generator' of the event?

2: Would it be possible to add this as a pr. User option? (I guess so, just needs work...)

3: If 2 is Yes, would it be possible to even determine if it should only happen in special modules (like the forum)? (I guess so, just needs work... right?)

So, I guess if someone can point me in the right direction for question 1, I just need to do some hard work.. right?

you mean get notifications even when you post yourself? Doesn't that defeat the point of notifications in the first place?

Well, the point is, I'm working on doing a 'listserver' function for the Forum (CBB) and it would be nice to be able to get your own posts in email copy.

So, maybe the question should be:

How do I hack/patch XOOPS so a Notification Type can send-to-self if the user wants too?

The other big issue, of cource, is to get emails into CBB, but that's a different thread...

On a related mindset, it might be a nice option to enable some notifications to Force email delivery to the user... ?!? no matter the prefered delivery option set in the User Account...

there's probably a filter there somewhere that excludes the notification being sent to the uid of the poster. That's where you'll need to put your preference I guess...

Yeah.. looking in /kernel/notification.php, I find this:

function triggerEvent
    
...
        if (!isset(
$omit_user_id)) {
            global 
$xoopsUser;
            if (!empty(
$xoopsUser)) {
                
$omit_user_id $xoopsUser->getVar('uid');
            } else {
                
$omit_user_id 0;
            }
        }


Guess I need to handle this in the " if (!empty($xoopsUser)) " part, or make a CASE looking at the preference set on the user/notification.

If I add a special notification event to a module, could I simply add another param to the notification, like:

$modversion['notification']['event'][n]['notify_self'] = 1;

and check for this somehow?

I guess this could set the $omit_user_id and the poster would get the notification?
