Plugin Update – Notifications 2.0

Plugin Update – Notifications 2.0

Hi guys,

I updated the Notifications plugin. Now you have the possibility to also set up email notifications in addition to the Twitter posts.

You can set if you want to send emails or post to Twitter, or both. Also the text for each can be different. In case of the Twitter text you are obviously limited in terms of the number of characters, which is not the case for the email.

In order for this to work, your server must have the mail server installed correctly. There is a test button which you can use to send test email and see if the emails are working.

If you are installing this for the first time, follow the instructions in the documentation. If you are updating the plugin, simply replace all the files as well, the settings.php is only on your server so it will stay untouched. Then go to your Control Panel and setup the plugin again to update the settings.php (you will just have to specify if you want to enable the email notifications and specify the email address, the email text etc.) Then make sure you also update (replace) the dailyNotificationsCron.php in your load/crons/ directory, this the updated script which will post to Twitter or send the email.

Enjoy
