notifications not working at all

I admit it - I was trying to change the notification email message (see other posts) but I soon gave up as it's a bit beyond me and not that important.
Any way I put the files back as they were and tested it and no emails came though on an item added nor a login failure or login/logout.
I un-installed and deleted the notification module and re-installed it and tested again and still nothing.
I have looked in the logs and there is:-
[Notice] Undefined index: url in file (removed for security...../)gallery.barlowtyrie.co.uk/images/smarty/templates_c/%%2775095255/matrix/%%E8^E87^E87E661E%%NotificationUserAdmin.tpl.php on line 76
so I cleared the caches.
Now I still don't any emails but nor do I get any errors on the screen or in the log.
I have tested the email set up and that sends me an email.
Bit stumped now....

I just tracked down the error in notification
edit line 708 in gallery2/modules/notification/classes/GalleryCoreEventNotifications.class
from:

return count($data) == 1 ?  $data[0]->getId() : $data[0]->getParentId();

to:

return $data[0]->getParentId();

this fixes the itemAdd notification, I'm not sure of the effect on any other notification types.
I cannot imagine wanting the itemId of the item that was just added, seems you would always want the patentId since that is the item you would be watching.

Also make sure you subscribe to the albums you want to watch by clicking the "watch" link in the sidebar for that album.
