[ZendTo] Re: Pickup Notification Email - Only one is sent...is that normal?

[Marlon R Deerr]

Hey Jules,

 

I actually just go around to test this.  I am now receiving an email
each time a user downloads a dropoff as expected.   Obviously, this is
not ideal as I don't want to be notified of subsequent downloads of the
same dropoff by the same recipient.  I guess for now, this is better
than just getting one notification period.  Any idea when the next
release will be available so we only get notified for the first pickup
by each recipient?

This is a really odd one left over from when I forked the original
Delaware Dropbox project.
For some bizarre reason they chose to only log the first download of a
file from a drop-off, and not any subsequent ones.

I have changed this so that it sends a notification email for the first
pickup by each recipient. That way you get to hear if all your
recipients have downloaded it, but you won't get snowed with emails if
some recipient accidentally tries to download the file 1,000,000 times
due to some bug in their web browser.

This will be in the next release.

If you want to make a quick and simple change before then, so that you
receive an email for *every* download by a recipient, look in
/opt/zendto/lib/NSSDropoff.php. Around line 658 you will find a line
that says

          $extantPickups =
$this->_dropbox->database->DBExtantPickups($this->_dropoffID,
$whoWasItEmail);

Comment out that line by adding
        //
at the start of it. Then you'll receive an email for every download.

Cheers,
Jules.

	We are noticing in our environment that when we send a drop-off

the first person that picks it up.  We do not get notified for every
other person on that same drop-off. Is this just the default behaviour
and is there a way to get notified for ALL pickups?

	 

	Thanks,
