Messaging¶
The collective.addons Plone add-on use some of the Plone messaging implementations to create messages to the site admin, reviewers and the owner / creator of add-ons.
Messages To The Site-Admininstrator / Administrator¶
- The site-administrator / admiinstrator get an e-mail once a new add-on project have been added to the add-on center.
- If the project owner submit her / his project for publication, the site-administrator / administrator get an e-mail about this event.
- Once the text of a published project change the site-administrator / administrator will get an e-mail with the complete text of the project summary and its description. Thus he get an information, if the text of the project changes into a direction that has not been reviewed.
If the form field ‘contactForCenter’ in the add-on center contains an e-mail address the above messages will be send to this address. Otherwise the e-mail goes to the e-mail address of the Plone site.
Messages To The Project Owner¶
- Once a workflow status of his project(s) change the project owner will get an message (e-mail) which inform her / him about this new status.
- The project owner will get an e-mail once an add-on release or a linked add-on release have been added to her / his project(s).
- Once the site-administrator / administrator of the Plone site adds a new product version to the form field ‘Available Versions’ the owner of a project will get an e-mail to inform her / him about this event. The message ask the owner to update the versions list of the (linked) releases of his project(s).
Messages To A Possible Information Hub Of Add-on Releases¶
It is possible to create a hub outside of the Plone site, that drives the add-ons center, which could get an e-mail for every new published add-on (linked) release. This e-mail could be parsed and used to inform the user of the product about new (linked) releases from inside the product.
