CMFNotification
- Warning
- This product has not had a release in over 1 year and may no longer be maintained.
A Plone product that allows users to be notified when various events occur in the portal: item creation or modification, workflow actions, etc.
Project Description
CMFNotification is a Plone product that allows users to be notified when various events occur in the portal:
- when an item is created or copy-pasted;
- when an item is modified;
- when a workflow transition occurs.
Other notifications will be implemented but, for now, only the three above can be safely used. (In other words, do not trust the configuration form, which includes for example fields for discussion notification, although it is not implemented.)
CMFNotification is configured with rules:
- rules to decide who should be notified;
- rules to decide what mail template to use.
Besides these rules, CMFNotification handles extra subscription to any portal item. This allows authenticated users to subscribe to an item and receive notification, if the notification policy does not already include him/her in the list of notified users. These extra subscription may be recursive: if so, an user which has subscribed to a folder is notified for any event which occurs on the folder and any of its items (including its subfolders, etc.).
Dependencies
This version of CMFNotification has the following dependencies:
- Zope 2.10.x ;
- Plone 3.x.
Despite the name, this product may not work in a pure CMF portal. Minor changes may be needed. I thought about having an implementation which works for pure CMF portals, hence the name. However, use-cases rules and I did not have any pure CMF use-case... This may or may not happen in the future.
Important note: please note that the standard Secure MailHost (which is shipped with Plone) and its base product (MailHost) are not intended to send a lot of emails. It is highly suggested to install MaildropHost if you are about to do so.
