Hey there,

I was wondering if CCK Signup currently supports, or is planning on supporting subscriptions/notifications for site visitors who signup to events anonymously. It appears that the two building blocks for that - the possibility of anonymous signups in CCK Signup; and anonymous notifications in Notifications module (see #740678: notifications anonymous subscribe support, patchs and notifications anonymous module.) - are both available.. so all is left is to combine the two :D

Would be a great thing to have, please let us know if you have any plans on this.

Cheers,
Martin

No plans at this time, but like you said, most of the pieces are already there, so it should be a matter of putting them together (anonymous node creation, and anonymous notifications). As far as I know, there's not much this module would need to do aside from documenting the process.

Hmm,

I would think you would need one more config field which would allow you to select the email field from the signup node that should be used for the notifications.

And then that should be passed on to Notifications - possibly without any changes, but considering that 4.0 is a whole new version, maybe with some small adjustments..

I assume you won't be looking into this too soon, but would you be interested in a patch? (obvious question :D)

Cheers

I'll definitely take a patch that does this--I think the approach you outlined above sounds good.

So I gave this a try..

Unfortunately after 4 hours of work I wasn't able to make even the normal registered user signups work with notifications/messaging 4.x.. What I found out is that hook_messaging should be replaced by hook_notifications_templates, and a bunch of $op's inside hook_notifications should be adjusted.. and also the way the $node object is sent on instantiating an event.. but somehow the pieces just don't come together and it doesn't quite work with the right template etc..

Anyway.. I just went for a simple hook_nodeapi solution which works just as good and takes 30 min of time to write :)

Cheers

PS. The very annoying bit is the lack of documentation from the Notifications people, and the fact that the module seems to be without a maintainer :/

Note that CCK Signup does not yet work with Notifications 4.x: #1002770: Notifications 4.x compatibility.

figured ;) almost got it to work.. but not quite..

anyway, my interest in this is gone for now, so good luck with the module ;)

Version: 6.x-1.x-dev » 6.x-1.0-beta2

I'm not able to get Notifications 6.x-2.3/Messaging 6.x-2.4 to work either. Does a user have to be subscribed to an event content type or will CCK Sign-up notifications send notifications without being subscribed like the Signups module?
