I have to admit that I don’t know anything about scripts, In our blog, there is five administrators (same level). How can ths script be modified to make sure the alert is sent to only one recipient (myself) ?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

P.-S. Sorry for the bad English.

I just tested again on one of my WP 2.8 installs and it worked fine for me. Me sure you have your admin email address set properly in your WP user profile. Also, you might make sure it is not getting blocked by a spam filter, etc..

You can now choose to send the email notifications by user level. See above for the option. This release has been tested, and works, in the latest release of WordPress – 2.8

ron G: Thanks!

foreach ($editors as $editor) {			
   $user_info = get_userdata($editor);
   $recipient .= $user_info->user_email . ',';
}

it should be:

foreach ($editors as $editor) {			
   $user_info = get_userdata($editor->user_id);
   $recipient .= $user_info->user_email . ',';
}

Good luck!

The only current issue is that an email is sent every time the draft is auto-saved. While the auto-save feature of WordPress can be turned off, I plan to come up with a solution to this.

function dddn_process($id) {

	global $wpdb;
	
	$tp = $wpdb->prefix;

	$result = $wpdb->get_row("
		SELECT post_status, post_author, post_title, user_login, user_nicename, display_name 
		FROM {$tp}posts, {$tp}users 
		WHERE {$tp}posts.post_author = {$tp}users.ID 
		AND {$tp}posts.ID = '$id'
	");


	if ($result->post_status == "pending") {

		$message = "";
		$message .= "Thanks for your post. \n\n";
		$message .= "Title: " . $result->post_title . "\n\n";

		$message .= "Message body .";

		$message .= "Many thanks";

		$subject = "Subject";

                $user_info = get_userdata($result->post_author);

		$recipient = $user_info->user_email;

		mail($recipient, $subject, $message);

	}

}


add_action('save_post', 'dddn_process');

?>

$admin = get_bloginfo(’admin_email’);
$poster = get_the_author_email();

mail($admin, $subject, $message);
mail($poster, $subject, $message);

but i end up with both emails going to the admin – do you see the problem?

I want use your plugin for my blog but I don’t get the recipient bis the function

$recipient = get_the_author_email();

I checked it to input the recipient into the message, but this part is empty. I don’t get the author email.

I hope, you can help me.

Thanks a lot

In case anyone else wants to be notified upon “Pending Review” instead of Draft (with the introduction of Pending Review in 2.3), it’s easy to do. Just change the line that says:

if ($result->post_status == “draft”)

to

if ($result->post_status == “pending”)

and it seems to work great.
