Send e-mail notification on front end item submit was created by Gerben

Hi,

I searched the internet to find a answer but i can't find a solution for it so maybe there are some hero's over here.
I want to add a script thats sends a notification email when a user is submitting a new item on the front end.
I found this (for comments) but i can't find the save/storing code where i can add it:

$mainframe = &JFactory::getApplication();
$mail = &JFactory::getMailer();
$senderEmail = $mainframe->getCfg('mailfrom');
$senderName = $mainframe->getCfg('fromname');
$mail->setSender(array($senderEmail, $senderName));
$mail->setSubject(JText::_('K2_COMMENT_REPORT'));
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$body = " ".JText::_('K2_NAME').": ".$name." ".JText::_('K2_REPORT_REASON').": ".$reportReason." ".JText::_('K2_COMMENT').": ".nl2br($row->commentText)." ";
$mail->setBody($body);
$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->AddAddress($params->get('commentsReportRecipient',
$mainframe->getCfg('mailfrom')));
$mail->Send();

Does somebody have a good solution?

Greetings,
Geppie

Hi,

Hacking the core files is not recommended so you have to create a small plugin for that. You can start from the example K2 plugin from here github.com/joomlaworks/example-k2-plugin .

Thanks Lefteris,
A bit of a bummer that there isn't a plugin already for it :)
I will give it a try

If somebody want to manage this you can use this solution:

Add on top of itemgorm.php above the rule:

syncExtraFieldsEditor();

else {
			var data = {
    name: $('#title').val(),
    namefield: $('#yourownfield').val(),
    namefield2: $('#yourownfield2'').val()
};
$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/email2.php',
    data: data,
    success: function(){
    }
});

And this code inside email2.php

<? define( '_JEXEC', 1 );

// this depands on where you put the email2.php
define( 'JPATH_BASE', realpath(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../../../' ));

require_once ( JPATH_BASE . '/includes/defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE . '/includes/framework.php' );
$mainframeitem = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframeitem->initialise();

if($_POST){
		
    $name = $_POST['name'];
    $namefield = $_POST['namefield'];
    $namefield2  = $_POST['namefield2'];
    
  
           
$text = 'Titel: '. $name .' <br> new item uploaded with detail; '. $namefield  .' and '. $namefield2  .';
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

//send email
    mail("[email protected]", "Subject" .$name, $text, $headers);
}
?>

You forgot to to include the email2.php file. You can use Github so your code can be discovered from more people.

There used to be a good extension by Joomkit, which allowed you to set a notification in general and per category. Unfortunately for some reason they stopped offering extensions.

It appears that they shifted their business model.
You can ask them if they can open source it or simply put it on Github.
