[SOLVED] Receive email notifications about new comments made on product reviews

[mandrin]

Hi there,

 

I would like to receive an email notification when a client has made a review/posted a comment for a particular product.

 

I know that the module I need to edit is the built in module: Product Comments.

 

I know that the location of the modue is: yoursite/modules/productcomments

 

And I know I need to add a mail call function to one of the files there.

 

I have seen people say that the "productcomments.php" files needs to be edited.

 

This is where I get stuck...

 

Could someone please clearly define the mail call function and please exactly show where it must be put, in the relevant file.

Any solutions? A lot of people have been asking how to do this.

Thank you for your assistance

 

I did reply, but unfortunately, I am not a coder and don't know the exact syntax and exact location to put the string.

 

I have not been lazy and googled the hell out of this But what is basic for coders is not for a non-coder.

 

My further reply is in the link you posted above.

 

Kind regards,

Sweeet! Got it figured out. Thanks Vekia!

 

I am running PS 1.5.6

 

I edited the following file: mywebsite/modules/productcomments/controllers/front/default.php

 

And I added the followin line: mail("[email protected]","new review","new review posted on website")

 

After the first "$comment->save();" on line 110, like so:

$comment->title = Tools::getValue('title');
                $comment->grade = 0;
                $comment->validate = 0;
                $comment->save();
                mail("[email protected]","new product review","new product review posted on website");

                $grade_sum = 0;
                foreach(Tools::getValue('criterion') as $id_product_comment_criterion => $grade)
                {
                    $grade_sum += $grade;
                    $product_comment_criterion = new ProductCommentCriterion($id_product_comment_criterion);
                    if ($product_comment_criterion->id)
                        $product_comment_criterion->addGrade($comment->id, $grade);
                }

It's there in the middle...

 

Again,  thanks for your help Vekia
