notification

Hi Folks,

I created an issue in the Issues Queue about this last week but perhaps it belongs here... as a discussion.

I've got a community site with a strict membership criteria: in order to be a member one must be approved by two existing community members. Hence, the question is - what is the best way to implement such workflow. Your advice would be appreciated a lot.

During registration process new users supply the names of already registered community members who can recommend them.
These 2 members receive notification emails with activate/decline links, and make their choice.
In order to activate new user's profile it must be confirmed by both of the specified community members.

Hello!

I will soon begin development of a new module ordered by my employer. I'm posting the details here in hope that some of you can tip me about more efficient ways of doing things, or suggesting already existing modules as building blocks. I also hope that this module will be useful to more people than just my employer.

Please comment on how you are invoking email notifications, in general and for taxonomy subscriptions. Does anyone see a problem with workflow and drupal access model and/or 3rd party modules that supply that type of functionality?

With workflow, the natural point at which an announcement notification message should be sent is when the content changes to a certain workflow state -- e.g. "Posted". And the tools I see available for this task range from "send a tokenized email to a role" via the Token module (token_action.module) to the Subscriptions module.

Hi, I'm setting up a community driven site, where many of the events are managed by the community members, including registration. So, just to simplify the idea, every time a user registers an account in the site, a poll is created and members vote to approve or decline the application. Currently application form is no more than a set of cck fields in a specific content type. This node is created in the "applications forum", so members can cast their votes.

Now, the question is, should this kind of functionality require a single module or not?

I've found several approaches here..

Notifying users of new content, events, actions is something that is common to enterprise level applications, social network or simply a blog. Notification can happen in many forms and via many mediums, some of the prominent ones being e-mail, instant messaging, SMS or live feed. Solutions uptill now have been separate and distant to each other, even though the problem is essentially the same, that is some message needs to be relayed to one of your user. The medium and carrier would differ and so would be the urgency and priority of delivery.

HI,

I am new at drupal. Would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks,
