Group Notifications

[Fisher]

I'm a beginner to php scripting. I want to have more than 1 group and
I don't want one group to be getting notifications of uploads for the
other groups. How can I get groups into the notification list (not
just users)?

Currently notifications support only users, I'll have to add group
support.

Thanks, Samuli!

Recent version 1.8.4.1 has initial support, but didn't have yet time
to test it.

I installed it yesterday and created 3 users in a group, and set the
notification for e-mail to the group on a file upload. When I
uploaded a file, none of the users got an e-mail notification.

I'll test it myself as soon as I have time.

Hello,

we need to notify groups about uploads in specific folders. 

E.g. someone uploads to Folder1, we want to notify only users that have access to that folder.

We can not define seperate rules for uploads to specific folders. How can this be accomplished?

Thanks.

So you would need to have automatic rule which would send specified message

a) when upload is done in any folder

b) to every user that is assigned to that folder

?

Sounds like a rule which is hard to define in the UI, so I think I should add possibility for defining custom functional rules, meaning there could plugin script for determining what to do. It could be applied to

a) which events apply (script could have a function that return TRUE if it applies, in your case it would apply only for upload events, perhaps with some logic for which folders)

b) which users are mail recipients (script could return list of users based on the fired event, in your case it would just retrieve list of users for the folder)

and so on.

Perhaps at some point, I'll open issue for this.
