Email notification on scheduled publishing

    Recently, I added a scheduled publishing date on my upload form for posts. Since then, no more notifications are sent out although there are subscribers for this cats. I checked in class-S2-core.php and the post transition from ‘future’ to ‘publish’ is properly recognized, but then it returns on the following code (line 421):
    if ( (isset($_POST['s2_meta_field']) && $_POST['s2_meta_field'] == 'no') || strtolower(trim($s2mail)) == 'no' ) { return $post; }
    What is this ‘$_POST[‘s2_meta_field’]’ ? How do I set it to ‘yes’ or else different from ‘no’?

  • @hittheroadjack,

    That field come from the “Subscribe2 Notification Override” meta box on your content authoring pages. If you can’t see it then open up the Screen Options.

    The checkbox can be configured to be checked by default where it says “Disable email notifications is checked by default on authoring pages?” in Subscribe2->Settings under the Appearance tab.

    Thanks for fast reply.
    I understand now what the function is and how the checkbox works. The German translation is somewhat misleading and can be misunderstood. It should better read ‘Keine Email-Benachrichtigung von Editier-Seiten senden’ to make clear that this is the metabox which is set by the default setting.
    What I have not fully understood is: why is it also valid if no one is on an authoring page with this post?
    Some of our posts are uploaded by Gravity Forms and the post is created automatically from the form with a scheduled publishing date – no manual editing. And when the scheduled time is reached, it is again published automatically – no one on a authoring site.
    In my opinion the checkbox should be ignored if nobody is manually editing on it.
    Anyhow, I’ll set the default to ‘not checked’ and that should do the job for me.
    Thanks again.

    @hittheroadjack,

    The check box is simply a post_meta, if you are using another method for writing your content the meta entries still get created by the WordPress code and anything hooked to it.

    If you update the German translation I’ll happily add it to the repository.
