The Notify module allows users to subscribe to periodic emails which include all new or revised content and/or comments much like the daily news letters sent by some websites. Even if this feature is not configured for normal site users, it can be a useful feature for an administrator of a site to monitor content submissions and comment posts.
The administrator sets the frequency of the emails in the notify administration interface. They can also set how many email failures should occur before notify stops sending notifications. Note that cron must be enabled for notifications to be sent out.
You can
- set up your site to run tasks automatically at required intervals by reading configuring cron jobs.
- administer notify administer >> settings >> notify.
- file issues, read about known bugs, and download the latest version on the Notify project page.
Warning
Nodes which include PHP code might in some circumstances break your web site. This is not a bug: if you are adding some PHP code into your content, you are supposed to know what you are doing.
Please see the following issue for further details: http://drupal.org/node/146521.
This module provides similar functionality to other contributed modules. There is a comparison of the comment notification modules on groups.drupal.org which may be helpful in deciding which one is right for you.
You are encouraged to also try the Subscriptions module or the Notifications module, as well as the Trigger and Action modules which are part of Drupal 6 core, as possible alternatives. These are extensible frameworks and are likely to see more rapid development.
