E-Mail Notification of Comments
I requested a new feature today for Roller - the ability to receive e-mail notification when comments have been posted. I mentioned this wouldn't be too hard using the mailer tag library. So I got slightly motivated and did it myself. I think to add it to Roller, we should make it a little more configurable, but here's what I added above the form in weblog/comment-form.jspf:
... define mailer and c taglibs of course ...
<c:if test="$\{param.method == 'update'\}">
<mt:mail server="smtp.domain.com">
<mt:setrecipient type="to">[email protected]</mt:setrecipient>
<mt:from><c:out value="${param.email}"/></mt:from>
<mt:subject>Comment: <bean:write name="blogEntry"
property="title" scope="request" /></mt:subject>
<mt:message><c:out value="${param.content}"/>
<c:out value="${param.name}"/>
<c:out value="${param.url}"/>
</mt:message>
<mt:send>
Doh! An error has occurred sending comments notification!<br />
<mt:error id="err">
<jsp:getProperty name="err" property="error"/>
</mt:error>
</mt:send>
</mt:mail>
</c:if>
I had to put those \'s in their in order to get past Velocity. The one pain with the mailer tag library is everything comes through with the spacing as set in the JSP. That's why the name and url variables are squished all the way over to the left.
