Hi Peter,

 

We’ve upgraded from DMX 3.04.08 to DMX 4.02.03. Our DNN core is 4.08.02.

 

We’re experiencing some strange behaviour with our notification emails. Particularly, the notification/portal/defaultpath property.

 

We has several portal aliases, lets say (appear in this order in Host > Settings ):

  1. www.portal-alias-1.com
  2. www.portal-alias-2.com
  3. www.portal-alias-3.com

 

Our EMAIL_DMX_NOTIFICATION_BODY template simply contains:

 

            My default path: {{valueof(notification/portal/defaultpath)}}

 

So, our expected result would be:

My default path: www.portal-alias-X.com

where X is the portal we logged into.

 

We log into www.portal-alias-3.com. These are our results.

           

TEMPLATE

PHRASE

RESULT

EMAIL_DMX_NOTIFICATION

Add

My default path: www.portal-alias-3.com

EMAIL_DMX_NOTIFICATION

Approve

My default path: www.portal-alias-1.com

EMAIL_DMX_NOTIFICATION

Edit

My default path: www.portal-alias-3.com

EMAIL_DMX_NOTIFICATION

Delete

My default path: www.portal-alias-1.com

 

Please notice the use of the same template renders different results!!

 

Using other templates while logged into www.portal-alias-3.com :

 

TEMPLATE

RESULT

EMAIL_DMX_NOTIFICATION_SUBSCRIBE

My default path: www.portal-alias-1.com

EMAIL_DMX_NOTIFICATION_UNSUBSCRIBE

My default path: www.portal-alias-1.com

 

Once again, we get the wrong results.

 

We then deleted our www.portal-alias-1.com from Host > Settings. The result is that all occurrences of the deleted alias were replaced by www.portal-alias-2.com .

 

Naturally, we would like to always have www.portal-alias-3.com when using that alias. How can this be done? We also tried the httpalias property with the same results… What is the difference between the 2 properties?

 

Thanks for all your help!

Hi Rad,
For DMX 04.03 I have completely rewritten the notification engine. I hope this eliminates your issues as well. I expect to release this within a couple of weeks.

Hello Peter,
 
We thought we would list a few « Nice-to-have’s » for the next DMX version, that would make our job a lot easier.
 
First, this is a rather critical point concerning Notification. Lets say we have 3 types of users: Webmasters (View, Edit, and Approve permissions), Publishers (View and Edit), and Subscribers (View only). If a Publisher adds a doc for approval, if the Webmaster modifies anything (metadata or content) before approving, no notification is sent to anyone. This is critical because the workflow is lost.
 
Second, When a Webmaster publishes a document, there should not be an Approval Request notification sent to other webmasters. It should be assumed that a Webmaster can approve his own docs, and does not need others’ permission. (Yes, we have multiple WMs…)
 
Thirdly, once a Webmaster approves a doc, a notification should be sent to the Publisher of that doc to inform him action was taken, and his document was approved. On the same note, a notification should be sent to other Webmasters to inform them someone else has approved the doc, and that no further action is required from them.
 
Finally, it would be very useful for Administrators to have an option that disables/enables Notification site-wide. This is especially useful for maintenance purposes, not to notify users unnecessarily.
 
When are you expecting the release of DMX 4.3?
 
Thanks again for the great product and support you’re providing!

Hi Rad,

Thanks for these details. Very helpful. I'll make a note of this. For the current release we're already in code freeze, so if there's anything that is not met in 04.03 it will be pushed to a later version. Send me an email and I'll give you access to the RC that is being prepared so you can have a look.

Thanks,
Peter

O, regarding the release date: I'm holding off for a week or two as for the coming two weeks I'll be out of the office.
