As you seem to be suggesting, an alternative approach in Joomla1.5 is to go to the messaging section in the console, go to settings and select “Mail me on new Message”. Then update \administrator\components\com_messages\tables\messages.php to provide the message content rather than just telling you there is a new message. However, I think this would involve greater changes than the change I suggested above because you would have to alter the number of arguments going into the ‘send’ function in that file and alter how it is called etc, so it seems like too much effort for the same result. However, I’m only a newbie so could have this wrong.

-search for “foreach ($users as $user_id)” in /components/com_content/controller.php
-add the following lines at the top of the loop:
### EXTRA LINES ADDED HERE TO SEND EMAIL NOTIFICATION
# Invoke JMail Class
$mailer = JFactory::getMailer();

# Set sender — array so that my name will show up neatly in your inbox
$mailer->setSender(array(“me@mydomain.com”, “myname”));

# Set recipient — this can be a single address (string) or an array of addresses
$mailer->addRecipient(“yourname@yourdomain.com”);

# Set Subject
$mailer->setSubject(“New article submitted”);

# Set Body
$mailer->setBody(JText::sprintf(‘ON_NEW_CONTENT’, $user->get(‘username’), $post['title'], $section, $category));

# Send once you have set all of your options
$mailer->send();

### END OF EXTRA LINES

-no need to change any other files, unless you want to modify what ON_NEW_CONTENT says (or add a new constant), in which case edit “\language\en-GBen-GB.com_content.ini”.

Regards.

Do you think it’s possibile modify this code…
Then you must change the file \administrator\components\com_messages\tables\messages.php
————————
$subject = sprintf (JText::_(‘A new private message has arrived’), $sitename);
$msg = sprintf (JText::_(‘Please login to read your message’), $siteURL, $message);

to insert in the message the direct link to backend-content or the Article title?

Thanks in advance

The English (BG) language file is now /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_content.ini

Change the entry here to what you wish.

Then in /components/com_content/controller.php ~~ line 218 change the foreach loop here to say :

foreach ($users as $user_id)
{
JUtility::sendAdminMail($adminRow->name, $adminRow->email, ”, JText::_(‘New Item’), $post['title'], $user->get(‘username’), JURI::base());
$msg = new TableMessage($db);
$msg->send($user->get(‘id’), $user_id, JText::_(‘New Item’), JText::sprintf(‘ON_NEW_CONTENT’, $user->get(‘username’), $post['title'], $section, $category));
}

No, with the version J1.5.X it doesn’t work. But you change it too.
You must change the com_messages.ini in your language folder.
——————
PLEASE LOGIN TO READ YOUR MESSAGE=the website url (%s) public. %s
——————

Important is the “%s” at the end.

Then you must change the file \administrator\components\com_messages\tables\messages.php
————————
$subject = sprintf (JText::_(‘A new private message has arrived’), $sitename);
$msg = sprintf (JText::_(‘Please login to read your message’), $siteURL, $message);
————————-

the change of this is the variable $message.

good luck!

cheers

Cheers and keep up the great work!

If I come across something I’ll post it here.
