Notifications
This is a complete Subscriptions/Notifications Framework aiming at extendability and scalability. It allows any number of plug-ins defining new event types or subscription types or a different user interface.
The package consists of a main notifications engine, which is a lightweight module handling just the basic event processing and message queueing and delivery, and a half dozen plug-in modules which add several event and subscription types and a simple UI. More plug-ins are coming...

Compatibility: For using with OG <= 6.x-1.1 you need to use the 6.x-1.0 release of Notifications. OG 6.x-1.2 and 1.3 will work with Notifications 6.x-1.1. For newer versions use the latest (either rc, beta or dev) of both. - Mail to Web allows posting replies to notifications by email.
- Team Notifications provides an UI for subscribing other members of your team.
Features
- Immediate or digested notifications, allowing multiple digest formats for deferred notifications. Digests are configurable and themeable.
- By using the Messaging Framework, notifications are not limited to email. Other methods like SMS or XMPP can be used.
- Pluggable subscription and event types. Currently included: Content subscriptions (thread or node, author, content type), Taxonomy
- Event and message queueing, fully scalable and configurable. Uses token module for message composition and text replacement, thus it supports pluggable tokens
- Mixed subscription types. The engine supports any combination and any number of conditions for defining a user subscription of author x content x type x tag x group... (You may have to code a custom UI for it though)
- Pluggable and fully configurable user interface. A UI module is provided but it can be disabled and replaced by a custom UI module.
- Configurable per content type. You can have different types of subscriptions and a different UI for each content type
Dependencies / Requirements:
Note: The development of this module is done in sync with Messaging Framework, thus latest stable version of Notifications will work with latest stable of Messaging, and same for dev versions.
