Guest Entries Notification plugin for Craft CMS

Extend Pixel & Tonic’s Guest Entries (v1) plugin with email notifications.

NOTE: this plugin requires the Guest Entries plugin to be installed and configured.

Installation

To install Guest Entries Notification, follow these steps:

1. Download & unzip the file and place the guestentriesnotification directory into your craft/plugins directory
2. -OR- do a git clone https://github.com/dative/guestentriesnotification.git directly into your craft/plugins folder. You can then update it with git pull
3. -OR- install with Composer via composer require dative/guestentriesnotification
4. Install plugin in the Craft Control Panel under Settings > Plugins
5. The plugin folder should be named guestentriesnotification for Craft to see it. GitHub recently started appending -master (the branch name) to the name of the folder for zip file downloads.

Guest Entries Notification works on Craft 2.4.x and Craft 2.5.x.

Guest Entries Notification Overview

I've used the wbrowar/Craft-Guest-Entries-Email-Notification in the past, but I felt it lack support for multiple notifications hooks for the same Guest Entry section, and the ability to use templates for the email body.

Configuring Guest Entries Notification

Once you finish configuring Guest Entries, go to Guest Entries Notification settings:

You can add as many notifications you like, by clicking Add a notification at the bottom of the table. You can configure the following settings:

Setting	Description
Enabled?	Turn notification on / off
Section	Select which Guest Entries configured section you want to be notified of new entry. It will only display section that has a default author set.
Emails	Required You can enter one or multiple comma-separated email addresses. Each email address will be notified individualy, and in case of failure, the faulty email address will be logged in Craft's logs.
Subject	Required The email notification subject. The entry object is passed and can be used as such: New Blog Entry: {{ entry.title }}
Template Path	Required The template path to be used as the body of the email. The entry object is passed.
Format	Set the email format to either Plain Text or HTML

Guest Entries Notification Roadmap

Some things to do, and ideas for potential features:

• Allow email address to be supplied dynamically
• Improve settings validation that validates if email addresses are valid.
