Hello We would like to be able to customise the format of a notification depending upon the folder where the event took place. For example, if we have a folder named Invoices then we would like to send a notification to subscribers where the content is specific to Invoices. I am thinking that I'll need to intercept the point where notifications are generated and make some changes there; maybe creating necessary entries in the dmx_notifications table with the appropriate template? Does anyone know a good place to start looking and will I need to purchase the partial DMX source code? Thanks Mike

I thought that the lack of documentation meant that someone from Bring2Mind was monitoring this forum. Is there no one that can point me in the right direction?

Hi Mike, This can't be done inside DMX even with the partial source. The existing notification engine can't be extended in the direction you wish. You'd need to write your own notifications engine. All DMX events are logged to DMX_Log so you can hook into what's happening there. It tells you what action was performed by whom on which DMX item and when. Peter

Hi Peter Thanks for the clarification. I'll follow your suggestion and trigger some action from the dmx_log table. Mike

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.
