If an Editor makes changes to a page and submits them for approval, the Publisher must then approve the changes before they are published to the live site. So far so good!

However, is it possible to setup SiteSupra so that when the Editor submits the changes, an email is automatically sent to the Publisher to notify them that changes are waiting for their approval?

If so, what needs to be done to achieve this?

If not, is this something that you are looking to develop in the future?

Hello Mike,
We have discussed your question and decided to add event which will be called after page is requested for approval, so you will be able to define this event to do whatever you want after page is requested for approval. In future email notification of publishers will probably be included in SiteSupra. When event will be added we will notify you.
Thank you

That's fantastic, thanks forthe quick reply! What you have proposed sounds fantastic. I think having the ability to build in email notification of workflow tasks, adds an enormous amount of power and value to the workflow feature that sets it above other competing products.

Keep up the great work.

Just wondering how things are going with the module to "add an event which will be called after page is requested for approval". ??

Any idea when this might be available?

Mike Hi,

We haven't had much progress with this enquiry yet. Frankly speaking I can't tell right now how much time we need to release it. That could be a couple of months or so. We've been busy with the Help Desk abd Plugin Exchange. The latter will be opened in a month and wil allow trading and selling SiteSupra blocks and modules. Also a new free banner management block will be released in a few days. Sorry to keep you on hold with that feature.

Regards,

I was surfig the SS forums and accidently found this.

The feature requested has been added in the latest SS build

For further details please see the file ".htedit", at the end there stands:

CODE

$suEVENTS = Array ( (...)    'onRequestApproval' => 'events:userRequestApproval', //  'onApprove'   => '',    'onApproveRequest' => 'events:userApproveRequest',    'onCancelRequest' => 'events:userCancelRequest',    'onDeclineRequest' => 'events:userDeclineRequest' );

Scheme 'events:userRequestApproval', means that on Approval request the function "userRequestApproval" from file "supra/su_events.php" is called.

Apologies for having to wait so long.
