Email to specific user when their photo receives approved comment

Yes, I see. am working on it, also on custom text. Stay tuned…

Please install the current dev version: WPPA+ API Version: 6-4-14-005.

The owner is now corrected as soon as a thumbnail or fs image url is calculated.

Added Table IV-F5.3 and 5.4

5.3: Custom email text. You can use html, keywords: w#comment, w#thumb and w#id, see the helptext.

Example that works on my dev site:

The comment is
<blockquote style="background-color:#cccccc;">w#comment</blockquote>
The thumbnail is <img src="w#thumb" />
<br />The fullsize image is<a href="https://beta.opajaap.nl/testpage/?photo=w#id&slide&single&occur=1">here</a>

IV-F5.4 Sublect. Do not leave this empty.

ok, it all works good. thanks… is there a keyword for the photo name? and… can i basically use ANY keyword there is on the entire system? like custom field keywords, etc?

No, currently onlythe 3 i documented. Pls tell me others you want, it is simple to add them.

i need to be able to address the NAME of the self-portrait… so i guess the photo name

and it would be useful to just add the ability to use any of the custom field keywords, that way i can use those fields too.

the original one also had the commentor’s name too… “Henry Jones commented on your self-portrait”

Ok will do it tomorrow

ok thanks, sorry if i wasnt clear earlier. after that it should be all set for a long time, thanks again. you are the best.

The current dev version 6.4.006 can do it.

Note the thumbnail url is w#tnurl

You may use the following keywords: w#comment for the comment content, w#user for the commenters name and the standard photo description keywords w#name, w#filename, w#owner, w#id, w#tags, w#timestamp, w#modified, w#views, w#amx, w#amy, w#amfs, w#url, w#hrurl, w#tnurl, w#cc0..w#cc9, w#cd0..w#cd9.

On my test site this works:

The comment is
<blockquote style="background-color:#cccccc;">w#comment</blockquote>
The thumbnail is <img src="w#tnurl" />
<br />The fullsize image is <a href="https://beta.opajaap.nl/testpage/?photo=w#id&slide&single&occur=1">here</a>
The commenter is w#user<br />
Custom data: w#cc0 w#cd0<br />
Permalink: w#pl<br />
Rating: w#rating<br />
Album: w#album

great, thanks again. should be all set on this issue now. Enjoy!

Question on this….

my account is the initial owner of all imported photos. If a new user registers and changes their first and last name to the photo name, they become the owner automatically. Then, if a comment is posted on that photo, they receive the email stating that a comment has been left on their photo.

My question is… before a person registers and enters their first and last name, my admin account user name is the “owner”. This means that any comment received on these photos will email me.

If there any way to just make the photoname the owner on all photos?

also, please exolain feature IV F 5.1 (Notify users who has commented this photo earlier.)

maybe i need to bulk rename all my admin owner photos to something else so that i dont get all approved comment emails on the photos that have my username as the owner?

let me ask, if i download the csv file of the ohotos, open it, change the owner names to whatever i want, upload it, will it work?

You can not yet import photo info .csv files!

Changing the photo owner of all your photos can be done by a simple php snippet:

<?php
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->query( "UPDATE ".WPPA_PHOTOS." SET owner = 'pietje' WHERE owner = 'johnny'" );
?>

This changes all the photos where the owner is johnny to have the owner set to pietje.

If you paste this in the ‘test area’, just below all the global ... lines near the top of wppa-settings-autosave.php and open the settings page, it is done.

IV F 5.1: If user james commented on a photo, and after that user mary comments on the same photo, james gets an email with the comment of mary.
