The plugin works, I mean it sends eMail, but it doesn’t include a link to the new post or page at the blog.

Hi Gudlyf,
I think your plugin is just what I’m looking for. However, I can’t quite get it to work right.
I have installed the update-notify.php file in wp-content/plugins and I created a private post with 2 email addresses called update-notify.

When I attempt to publish a post, I get this error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/update-notify.php on line 45

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/update-notify.php:45) in /opt/lampp/htdocs/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 331

The only other plugins installed are two that came with WP – Akismet and Hello Dolly.

I hope you don’t mind supporting this code still. Any help you could offer would be great. Thanks!

Sometimes the “get_permalink($post_ID)” will write the Post page (w/ comments) link, and sometimes it writes the Archive page link.

I need it to always write the Post page link. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

thanks

Hello,

Am looking for a WordPress plugin with this functionality but is “Update Notify” still supported? Since latest plugin update is from May 2004.

Cheers

Great script–
Is it possible to get it to notify the email (which is me, for now) and include in the email the first 3-4 lines of the post, then the Post’s full url. And then could it be made to put the full title in the subject of the email sent out?

I’d be willing to pay tribute to you oh Gudly if you could do this. I need to repost some stuff to another blog or two and if I could sort of have your email pre package the email I get then I can do some simple edits and forward it to the other blogs.

Should be doable, right?

Hi Gudlyf, great little plugin! It works for me, except I have the same problem as Lindsay above mentioned. My ID is still empty and the link leads only to my main blog page, not to the new article.
Any ideas? I use WP 2.0.4.

Would be nice to include the title of the new post in the email as well (as a teaser ). Does anyone know how do write/do this with PHP?

Cheers, Anja

Very nice little plugin! Thanks Gudlyf! It works, only the thing that Lindsay mentioned is not working for me. I still have http://mysite.com/?p= with an empty ID that links only to my main page but not to the new written post.
Any ideas?

Would be great to include the title of the new post as well (as a little teaser ). Has anyone an idea how to do with PHP?

Cheers, Anja

I figured it out. This:
—
function update_notify() {

global $post_ID, $wpdb;
global $tableposts;
—

Should really be this:

—
function update_notify($post_ID) {

global $wpdb;
global $tableposts;
—

it works for me now!
