I am guessing the answer to this question is "no" but just making sure. The only notification module I could find is for when photos are added. Any other way to make this happen? (I'm running 3.09)

thanks,
Todd

I'm sure the notifications module sends notifications to users when changes are made to watched albums.
I think that comments added and comments that have changed their state (published / not published) are in the list of things that you get notified on.

Are albums watched by default? I can't find anywhere to designate albums watched or not.

There is a 'modules/notification/views/comment_published.html.php' so maybe my install is broken. I did notice that in this php file it has email/url:

<?php defined("SYSPATH") or die("No direct script access.") ?>
<html>
  <head>
    <title><?= html::clean($subject) ?> </title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h2><?= html::clean($subject) ?></h2>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td><?= t("Comment:") ?></td>
  <td><?= nl2br(html::purify($comment->text)) ?></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><?= t("Author name:") ?></td>
        <td><?= html::clean($comment->author_name()) ?></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><?= t("Author email:") ?></td>
        <td><?= html::clean($comment->author_email()) ?></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><?= t("Author URL:") ?></td>
        <td><?= html::clean($comment->author_url()) ?></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td><?= t("Url:") ?></td>
        <td>
          <a href="<?= $comment->item()->abs_url() ?>#comments">
            <?= $comment->item()->abs_url() ?>#comments
          </a>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>

I have edited my comments module so the only thing that is required is name and comment.. Could this have broken notifications since it's set to report these two other fields (email and url)?

No. The user has to watch the albums they want to get notifications.
See image attached.

I don't know if you watch the root album all sub albums get watched or not.

geez don't I feel brilliant! I looked in that menu before but obviously not closely enough. Watching the root album does work for everything too (which I like). Thanks!
