Is there a plugin that will send an email when a document is published or edited? I thought I saw this before but have not found anything. Would OnDocPublished and OnDocFormSave be the best events for this?
Send email on document publish?#

Here's a modified version of one originally written by Rachel Black.
I doubt it needs much explanation.
I've used a chunk named "Emailer" with the placeholders and email text.
The plugin would need the appropriate System Event ticked.
Tested quickly, but it seems to work.
$e = &$modx->Event; if($e->name == 'OnDocFormSave') { $pageid = $_POST['id']; $pagetitle = $_POST['pagetitle']; $editor = $modx->getLoginUserID() ; $editedby = $modx->db->getValue('SELECT `username` FROM `modx_manager_users` WHERE `id` = 1'); $message = $modx->getChunk('Emailer'); $message = str_replace("[+id+]", $_POST['id'], $message); $message = str_replace("[+pagetitle+]", $_POST['pagetitle'], $message); $message = str_replace("[+editedby+]", $editedby, $message); $to = 'someone@somewhere.com'; $subject = "Doc edited report"; $sender = $modx->config['emailsender']; if(!mail("$to", $emailsubject, $message, "From: ".$sender."\r\n"."X-Mailer: Content Manager - PHP/".phpversion())) { $modx->logEvent(1,3,"$to, $subject, $message, $sender", "Email"); } return true; }

Getting carried away with this plugin business.
Here's an improved version with configuration parameters for :
which plugin event, to email address, email subject & chunk name.
Plugin code :
$e = &$modx->Event; if($e->name == ''.$piEvent.'') { $pageid = $_POST['id']; $pagetitle = $_POST['pagetitle']; $editor = $modx->getLoginUserID() ; $editedby = $modx->db->getValue('SELECT `username` FROM `modx_manager_users` WHERE `id` = 1'); $message = $modx->getChunk(''.$tplChunk.''); $message = str_replace("[+id+]", $_POST['id'], $message); $message = str_replace("[+pagetitle+]", $_POST['pagetitle'], $message); $message = str_replace("[+editedby+]", $editedby, $message); $sender = $modx->config['emailsender']; if(!mail("$to", $subject, $message, "From: ".$sender."\r\n"."X-Mailer: Content Manager - PHP/".phpversion())) { $modx->logEvent(1,3,"$to, $subject, $message, $sender", "Email"); } return true; }
Plugin configuration settings :
&to=Mail To;string;someone@somewhere.com &piEvent=Plug In Event;string;OnDocFormSave &tplChunk=Chunk Name;string;Emailer &subject=Email Subject;string;Who's been messing with my site?

Thanks, that is a great help indeed.
BTW - I have often wondered, is $_POST['documentVariable'] the way to access document variables in a plugin? What about template variables, can these be accessed in the same way $_POST['tvName']?

This sounds helpful.
Guys, be sure to put in the repo and not let this cool stuff buried in the forums.
Thanks.

This is a print of the TV array using the event OnTVFormSave
Array ( [id] => 11 [mode] => 301 [params] => [stay] => [name] => Name [caption] => Name [description] => Name [type] => richtext [elements] => [default_text] => @DOCUMENT 37 [display] => [rank] => 0 [template] => Array ( [0] => 6 [1] => 11 ) [chkalldocs] => on [categoryid] => 16 [newcategory] => [save] => Submit Query )
So I suppose you could access them via a plugin using the appropriate $_POST['whatever'] format.
Adding on to the original plugin you can add the conent of the page with $_POST['ta'] so you could see what they'd done!
