Send an Email upon Expiration

Hiy Jay,

I’m glad it finally looks like it’s stable :).

Thanks for the code. I was digging around the wordpress core a bit, and it seems doable. I have no ETA on this though, but will try to do this in the next 2 weeks. It’s a matter of changing stuff and testing stuff, but it should not be that much of a problem. It’s just finding the time to do it.

Hey Gabor,

Thanks for the reply. I understand that you’re currently preoccupied travelling and such – not to mention other projects, but any updates on this?

Are there any quick (read: easy!) changes I could make myself to my function above that could remedy the issue? i.e. hook into something other than “wp_trash_post” for example?

Thanks, Jay

Hiya,

I’ve solved it. Need to test stuff though for duplicate stuff. I shall upload 1.6.7 in the next two hours, internet permitting.

Gabor

Actually, I do not have the files on this computer. Sorry. I will do it tomorrow morning as soon as I get in.

You will get your messages once they are expired.

Gabor

Hey Gabor,

Hope you had a great Christmas. I’ve tested out the updated plugin, and I have the following to report:

If a post expires using the default expiration time as set within the plugin settings, then my email function is fired and it works perfectly. Great!

However, if an alternative expiration date is manually set on the Post creation page, and that expiration time is reached, my email function does not initiate.

Hope this makes sense. Can this be rectified at all?

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,

It was okay, as far as Xmases go. Yours was hopefully better. ?? Anyhow, I’ll take a look at it tomorrow. Possibly, I have ideas, but right now my mind is set on learning MongoDB and nodejs, and I’d need to spin up my cortex to deal with php. ??

I’ll give you an update tomorrow. Thanks for testing and reporting it! Much appreciated!

Gabor

Hi Jay,

Happy New Year! 1.6.8 should be up, and manual expirations should now fire as well. It was what I thought it was, fix took 20sec. Thanks! ??

Gabor

Hi Gabor,

Perfect! Finally got around to trying this out and all seems good ??

Can’t thank you enough for your help, you’re a lifesaver. I’ll mark this as resolved.

Thanks again, and all the best.
Jay
