I have a question, I work with DMX 03.03.02. When a user subscribes to a collection for example named "root" he gets an email notification when a document has been add or changed. This all works fine. But when a new collection has been made beneath the collection "root" for example "sub1" and in that collection a document is added or changed the user doesn't get an email notification. It seems logical that a user would get a email notification because he is subscribed to the parent collection. Can this be fixed somehow or is this all ready fixed in a newer version of DMX? Mark

Hi Mark, There are 2 reasons why this is not so and probably won't be in the future: 1. Traversing up or down the document tree is processor intensive as they can be indefintitely nested. Operations are kept as much as possible 'local' to a collection and its children. 2. To prevent a potential email flood. If a substantial number of people subscribe to the root of the whole document tree it potentially generates a flood of emails as every change is notified to all of them. What I'm trying to say is that the behavior for 'subscription to a collection' is 'by design', not a bug. Peter

About Bring2mind

Bring2mind is the company of Peter Donker, a DotNetNuke enthusiast who has been involved with the platform from the very beginning. At the same time as the market for modules emerged, he realized there was no good document management solution for the platform yet and he set about creating this. In part he based the module on his experience with other document management systems he used while working as a researcher. His module, Document Exchange, was an instant success and has since become the premier document management solution for DotNetNuke. In 2004 he created Bring2mind as a vehicle for the module and is one of the few successful businesses solely based on a DotNetNuke product.
