email user when question answered

Posted by redee on May 13, 2006 at 1:04pm

i'm creating a website where people can post a question. I want the admin to be able to post an answer and also email back the user if their question has been answered. (together with the answer).

I currently manage to use flexinode with 2 textarea, 1 for question and 1 for answer, and has managed to hide the answer field for non admin. Ideally, i want admin to answer in the answer field, and when he/she press submit, the answer get post in the website, as well as send in email.

could anyone help me with this?

thanks
redee

The topic module might do what you want. Also, using the subscriptions module, someone posting a question could be automatically emailed whenever there is a comment on their question, which might save you some time.

Hope they provide some inspiration.
