Chapter 5 CMS extension

Imar · April 12th, 2007, 11:40 AM

I think the problem may be in this:

Protected Sub txtsubject_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles txtsubject.DataBinding

You handle a DataBinding event. However, does the TextBox get databound? I think it doesn't so this event never gets called.

Can't you set the Text property directly in Page_Load or in another event? Since I don't know how your page is structured, it's hard to suggest something useful.

Cheers,

Greetings,
I have completed all the sugested modfications and they all work great. Actually, I have built this into a much larger CMS by extending all the classes etc.
BUT I need to add a Author subscription email to article. That is, when submiting an article for publication, an author is given the option to choose if they want to be notified each time a comment is added to their article. (Note that I have extended the amin section to allow for Authors, Editors, Admins etc). Currently what I have been able to achieve is for the Admin to be notified each time a comment is submitted, but since the Admin is NOT going to be the only author, I would rather have the Original submitter to be the the one getting the email.
Do you have any Ideas or code snipets that can show me how to get this. Note that Admin currently get emails on comments insert.
Cheers,

What area of the solution do you need help with? Do you have any specific questions?

I need suggestion on how to implement email subscription.
That is, an author of an article gets notified whenever a comment is posted to their article.
I already have comments implememted and the admin gets notified.

I understand that, but what do you need help with this? If you have the comment feature, and you know how to send email notifications, what is it you don't know how to do?

Simply look up the address of the author that created the article, and send him / her an e-mail as well.
