  I'm hacking the NS-Comments "index.php" file in order to make it send me an email when a new comment is posted.
  
  I add (after line 1169 - after the data is inserted into the pntables) the "core" postnuke sendmail string like:
  
  

  Code

  pnMail('myemail@mysite.es', "New Comment", "please read", "imagicweb_post" );

  and it works.
  
  But I would like to include in the body of the message the subject of the commented story, as it has previously INSERTED in the database...
  
  Can someone give me a hand on this?
  
  Thanks!

  I also wanted something like you did.
  
  In the index.php I added after row 1143:
  

  Code

  // mrpq
        $maxTextLenght=15;
        $aspace=" ";
        if(strlen($comment) > $maxTextLenght ) {
       $comment = substr(trim($comment),0,$maxTextLenght);
       $comment = substr($comment,0,strlen($comment)-strpos(strrev($comment),$aspace));
       $comment = $comment.'...';
    }
  
          global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS;
          $site_url = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_HOST'];
          $from = pnConfigGetVar('adminmail');
          $email2 = "<mail1@somewhere.com>,<mail2@somewhere.com>";
          $subject2 = ""._YOURHOMEPAGE." "._COMMENT."";
          $message2 = "<table border=0><tr><td><b>"._SUBJECT.": </b></td><td>$subject</td></tr><tr><td><b>"._CONTENT.": </b></td><td>$comment</td></tr></table><br>"._THEURL." <a href=http://$site_url/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=$sid>http://$site_url/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=$sid</a>";
          pnMail($email2, $subject2, $message2, "From: $from\nX-Mailer: PHP/\nMIME-Version: 1.0\nContent-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n", 0);
         
  //mrpq

  
  
  Try it on your own risk.
  If someone knows a better code, please let me know.

  hey, It seems GOOD!
  Anyway, the best hack will be the one who send the mail to the admin but ALSO the the one who has published the news story...

  You know that the mail comes from your PN Site!
  But if the user is logged in, it's possible toe get the users vars with the pnUserGetVar() function.
  
  Replace:
  

  Code

  $from = pnConfigGetVar('adminmail');

  
  With:
  

  Code

  $from = pnUserGetVar('email');

  
  
  I don't suppose you want to know who published the news, but published the comment.
  To see the username who send the comment, place a another tabelrow between the tag.
  
  

  Code

  <tr><td><b>"._POSTEDBY.":</b></td><td>$uname</td><tr>

  
  
  Regards,
  
  MRPQ

  Great, thank you very much!
  
  I think this hack must be in PN 7 final or in 8 as a default choice... But I guess this choice should be available in the Administration -> Settings section... and this is a more deep hack...
  
  Also I have asked at noc.postnuke.com for receiving mail when a Private Message is posted...
  
  Have a nice day!
