Reporting comments.

Loony BoB · February 20th, 2006, 11:08 AM

I noticed that when testing the reporting of comments, it sends an email to the 'webmaster' email. Is there a way to set it so that it sends out a traditional reported post to all admins & super mods, as per a normal post in another thread?

The program only sends an email to the main administrator of the site based on the admin email noted in Admin => Global Options

Is there any way that you can set it so that it sends emails to more than one person, though? We have about 17 moderators, but we expect to have hundreds if not thousands of comments and images to moderate, and to screen them all would be a huge pain. We'd likely have to disable screening, but we would then need some method to warn ALL moderators, so someone would respond in good time.

This could be best done by either:
1) Emailing to all members of a certain usergroup as per the forums (in my opinion the best and most ideal method)
2) Allowing more than one email to be entered into the admin email field on Admin => Global Options.

When dealing with a large site, and I'm sure you do desire to cater to large sites, these kind of options would be an immense help. I'm confident that this kind of improvement would benefit such groups.

Why not make an email distribution list on your server and use this as the admin email of our program.

That might be workable - I'll have to talk to our server guy - however again, I think this would be a great option if you are able to implement it, as it would greatly improve the professionalism of the system for companies that are run by more than one person, such as our own. I noticed you said that if a feature "isn't currently a feature in PhotoPost PHP Pro, we can more than likely add it in a matter of days." - surely this would be an ideal feature that can only benefit the users, and thus yourselves? I admit I'm not too intelligent when it comes to coding stuff up but I think that this shouldn't be a massive change in the way PhotoPost works.

If it would indeed take a lot of time then I understand - as I said, I'm not too smart on that sort of thing, that's more Samuraid's (our server guy) specialty.

Well you can post whatever suggestions you wish in the suggestions forum. Next time our product goes into beta we prioritize the customer suggestion and determine what gets put into the mix.

Sounds good enough to me.

I think Samuraid is looking to see if he can code up something at our end anyway, but if you are able to get this implemented at any time, that'd be awesome. Thanks!
