Notify Page Updates for Tagged Books
This allows you to configure notifications to be sent to users within roles defined via tags applied to parent books.
For example, if a tag with name Notify
and value Admins, Viewers
is applied to a book, updates to pages within will be notified via email to all users within the “Admins” and “Viewers” roles.
Considerations
- The sending of emails may slow down page update actions, and these could be noisy if a user edits a page many times quickly.
- You may run into email system rate-limits with the amount of emails being sent.
- By default, languages/translations are not handled in this example.
- This could be abused to send a mass of emails to user groups.
- You may prefer to use the in-platform notification system which was added in BookStack v23.08.
Options
- You can customize the email message, if desired, by editing the lines of text within the toMail part at around lines 31-34 of the
functions.php
code.
