Custom notification logic

Hi @alessandrotesoro,
Thanks for your message.

Not currently, no. If you let me know what you were hoping to do, I can always investigate viability for the notification or as an add-on.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi there,

Thank you for your reply, I don’t think an add-on is required for my purpose since not many people will find it useful, it’s specific to a project I’m working on.

Basically I need to send a notification to specific user roles ( if they are allowed to view a specific page ) when a new media file is added to a specific page.

Quick question, is the plugin expensive in terms of server resources usage? Since I’ll most likely have to build the notification myself I was wondering how your plugin makes sure it won’t crash the server if there’s quite a few users that are supposed to receive the notification.

Hi @alessandrotesoro,
In that case, it might be worth looking into making something custom that only handles the functionality that you need rather than relying on or trying to adapt a plugin.

BNFW tries to handle sending as efficiently as possible however, it doesn’t yet do anything particularly ‘clever’ when doing this. From experience and my understanding of BNFW users, those with larger websites and lots of users, usually have better hosting plans, and those can deal with sending out lots of emails better.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Jack
