Notify by email not working(NOT A BUG)

melgama · July 6th, 2005, 09:21 AM

When the users upload a photo put yes in this option:
"Want to be notified by email when users post replies?"

The users are just notify if after upload the photo click in "Receive Email Updates ".

This happened after the last update in my gallery - Pro, v5.12 (6/27/05 3:21 PM Build)

Thank you

Hello

You have a url and a test login that we can try uploading to your site.

I sent for you... Thanks

I´m still waiting for a update that can resolve this problem.

I dont see any issue here and this thread is quite old like months but at any rate download 5.14

melgama · September 6th, 2005, 04:05 PM

Yes... this topic is old but the problem still exist and is old too - since you saw my gallery I´m wainting an answer about this... I can´t believe that the problem is only with me and my users...
Maybe because my poor english you can´t understand me but I can put some prints if you want.

Have you downloaded 5.14 and tested?

Want to be notified by email when users post replies? If I mark yes to recieve notifications I surely get them

melgama · September 6th, 2005, 06:05 PM

Yep! My husband put a photo there marking YES to receive notifications http://www.melgama.com/galeria/showphoto.php?photo=1153 - I sent two comments but he doesn´t receive any e-mail.

Does your site send email as in set up to do php mail?

melgama · September 6th, 2005, 06:16 PM

ok I´ll try to do this... tkanks

Basically I do not see an issue here. Your server must send php mail and 2 things need to happen here. In admin options in admin you need to have this set to YES

Allow users to be notified of new posts via email?

Then a user needs to explicitly mark yes to be notified of all new comments on there photo when they upload it. This will insert a notify insert into the notify table as seen by this code in image-inc.php when a photo is uploaded.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

So again the global switch to allow notifications needs to be turned ON and the user has to specify they want to be notiffied and your server needs to send out email. I have tested this every which way and it works fine.

After the upgrade to 5.14 I (Admin) am not getting notices when a user uploads an image to my gallery. I was able to receive an email each time when using 5.13.
Noticed this today and wonered what had happened.

So something has happnened in 5.14 that was working for me in 513.
I have for Admin set to yes set to receive emails when a user uploads a picture.

My Site
user: test
pass: test

I can give admin access if needed.

Nothing has changed there.

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If you have the upload notify for admin set to yes you should get an email unless of course your server host has changed your php mail configuration or something. I get email notifications using photopost 5.14

You sure they did not add that fifth email paramter thing?

I have sent a ticket to athomhost asking if anything has been changed in last few days with regard to changes on server for emails.
Will let you know what they say as soon as get an answer.

I was getting emails when a user uploaded a picture before the upgrade so not sure what or where the problem is.

Chuck S · September 8th, 2005, 03:28 PM

No problem given the fact I am using 5.14 on a production site and get emails and looking at the code I can't offer any suggestions other than the fact that maybe your email setup changed. The coding I posted above is pretty specific and I do not see any errors at all there in image-inc.php in regards to new uploads.

If you have Notify Admin of New Uploads? set to YES and the user uploading is not an admin then you will be notified of the upload providing of course mail is working

iloco · September 8th, 2005, 03:33 PM

I have checked my forwarding in my server cpanel and it is set as has always been.
So nothing has changed in my settings. I am waiting on my host's reply and then if they say nothing has changed then I have no idea why not receiving emails when user uploads an image when I have admin set to yes to receive email.
Would any other setting effect this change.

Chuck S · September 8th, 2005, 04:45 PM

No the only thing it can be if you have the setting set to YES is that your mail on the server is locked down or needs the fifth parameter or is not set up properly.

iloco · September 8th, 2005, 04:50 PM

After doing some investagating I have found I am not receiving emails from post and replys that I have forums set to send to me as admin.
I am waiting on reply from host why this has happened with my emails.
Reason I thought it was Photopost is its only thing I had noticed but after farther looking I see my forum is not sending emails as well.
Sorry for not checking farther before posting here.

iloco · September 9th, 2005, 10:05 AM

My email is working now. I sent my host a email but haven't got a reply back from them.

Chuck S · September 9th, 2005, 10:46 AM

ah you edited your post above okay glad your host got your php mail working
