    Folks,

    Any suggestions on how do I enable email alerting so that whenever any new article, review or news is posted in a PostNuke 0.764 site, an email gets sent to all users notifying them of a change or new entry.

    Thanks

    On a busy site, that could be very annoying, why not implement a Newsletter?
    pnTresmailer
    Newsletter [InvalidResponse.com]
    Shout-it [or something like that]

    You could easily set-up a cron-job [once week/month], I'm sure your users would be very gratefull, instead of 10-20 Notifications a day

    This is just an idea of course... you can do with your site what you want, oh and also, if your on a shared server, your host could be difficult after a while icon_wink

    yeah..will definetly look at it..I think it is a good suggestion. Now that I think about it , I think it would be better if I have a job running that aggregates all updates made during the day and sends out just one email every day with the updates...any thoughts on how to make this happen.
