can a feature be added such that whenever someone gets mentioned, the mentioned user is sent an e-mail? node_add, node_edit and in comments as well?

Agreed, this is a great idea.

However, I'd do it as a trigger (for the Drupal core Trigger module) so that a user can set up any action when a user receives an action, be it an email, a tweet or any other action the site builder desires.

I am currently on holidays, so don't expect the feature straight away, but you will see it withing a week or so.

Cheers,

xcellent! really appreciate your effort. But unfortunately for me, I sort of need this feature working this coming week. So if you can please outline/describe/elaborate your logic to me so that I can implement it...? I'll need some assistance as I'm not a drupal guru. But I'll try...

Regards,
Z.

Hi zarooch,

If you need something done by a certain time you have two options, do it yourself or pay someone to do it for you.
I'm not going to do this during my holiday, nor would I likely rush the job because someone else NEEDS it done, as I do most of my Drupal development in my own time I can only promise to do something when I have time to do it.

The best I can do is point you to triggers documentation and you can figure out the rest yourself.

Hi zarooch,

That's great news. As I am likely to look at rolling this feature into a 1.1 build, it would be nice if you could post a patch with your changes so that I don't duplicate anything that's already been done and so that your internal build can be easily be upgraded to 1.1.

If not, that is also fine, but it would be appreciated if you did.

Cheers,
Deciphered.

Hi there,

Just wondering if any update is available on this, before writing my own trigger...

Cheers
