Hi. I have just upgraded the facebook-like statuses module to version 6.x-2.0 and the rules to send out emails when user posts or updates status is no longer working. Any configuration that I have missed out? Thanks for your help.

It works for me. I've attached a sample rule that sends an email when a status is updated and displays a message on the site to let you know the rule fired successfully.

Your mail server may just be having a slow day or something, or possibly your spam filter is rejecting your emails.

If you keep having problems, I would delete your existing rule, clear your Drupal caches (run update.php) and then re-build the rule from scratch. This is probably not a FBSS problem -- FBSS just fires a trigger, and it does that successfully. Rules is responsible for sending the email, and your server is responsible for passing it to your inbox, and your email client is responsible for showing it to you -- those are the most susceptible points of weakness (other than a botched upgrade).

Deleting the old rule and recreating the rule works well. Thank you!

Good, I'm glad it worked, especially since I apparently forgot to attach the exported rule as I said I did... :)

Would you mind attaching that rule here when you get a chance? :). I've been trying to create one with no luck and seeing your example might help me. Thanks in advance.

@mrwhizkid,

The original question was this:

That is not your question. Please don't:

  • Ask questions in issues that are unrelated to the original topic
  • Reopen closed issues for an unrelated question
  • Reopen closed support issues unless you are the original poster

However, you are welcome to open a new issue. If you do, it helps if you explain the steps you have already taken to try to solve your problem, including searching for issues like this one.
