More information on the hook is here. Basically, the reason it’s not working is that the Transition Hooks pass the entire post details but the hooks you are linking to only pass the post ID. You’ll need to make more code amends by hooking to a function that collects the entire post and then passes that to the publish function.

I have rewrote your plugin in order to serve my needs. However, I got an issue. Now the plugin sends e-mails only when publishing new posts. When editing a post, I also would like to have Subscribe2 send an email notification to registrants.

I tried using instead of:

add_action(’new_to_publish’, array(&$this, ‘publish’));

to use:

add_action(’publish_post’, array(&$this, ‘publish’));

or wp_insert_post, or edit_post. Actually, it works, Subscribe2 sends the new e-mail. However, the Subscribe2 variables are not shown - TITLE, BODY, LINK, etc.

I cannot find anything about the hook ‘new_to_publish’ on the internet.. Can you help me?

Thanks,
Hristo

It may be that your host is only allowing web traffic on port 80 and blocking all other ports. At least you now know that you can get your site working by using the relay server. Thanks for you feedback - this little plugin may help some but obviously not all!

I finally called the host who actually confirmed that using the mail() function makes the mail go out through their relay server directly and therefore increases my limitation to 1000 per day instead of 250. So, I’m actually good now.

At this point I’m willing to try something else for you if you like since I have some time before the site actually goes live, but I’m out of ideas.

Regarding the c&p - I should have known it wasn’t done on purpose! Tried it on firefox ok, but apparently it doesn’t work in Avant (IE basically).

1) not by default, if you are prepared to pay $40 I’ll email you the amended code.

2) It is possible with the Subscribe-to-comments plugin but not with Subscribe2.

I’ve tried the above on one of my blogs and it worked - it might be a case of playing around with the settings and checking that your host isn’t blocking outbound traffic on ports 25 and 465.

As for the copy and paste question - it works for me in Safari 3.1.1. What browser are you using?

1) is it possible to sent HTML emails to all subscribers (also to users not registered yet)? I would find useful because my blog is an image based one..

2) is it possible to also notify each new comment? If not, I would suggest to introduce this feature in future versions as “full subscription”

Many thanks again for the great job, Alex

I remembered seeing a screenshot of the gmail settings on the shiftthis site (from the smtp plugin link you have in your sidebar) which shows tls not ssl. Tried changing ssl to tls, but that did not work either.

Finally I tried the smtp info for the account the email is being sent from (which is not gmail) and did not get anything using those settings either.

**completely different question, but why can’t I highlight and copy from your comments? No big deal, just curious.
