I don't know if this is something that has been discussed. An hour of searching on the forums hasn't yielded anything meaningful, so here goes.....

Scenario
G2 installation has user registration/album creation disabled (also comments, BTW). Admin wants to automagically update a known list of regular visitors of new/updated content via email.

Of course this could be done manually, but that seems self defeating. What would be most desirable is something that generates an output something like this:

Quote:
Case 1 - addition to an existing album

Hi $someone,
Content has been added on http://somewhere.tld/gallery/main.php to this album:
http://somewhere.tld/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core:ShowItem&g2_itemId=164

or :D

Quote:
Case 2 - addition of album(s)

Hi $someone,
A new albums have been created on http://somewhere.tld/gallery/main.php
so head on over there and check out:
http://somewhere.tld/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core:ShowItem&g2_itemId=164

Does the panel know if this exists or not, and if not what approach would be the best in order to create this functionality?

Regards & TIA,
-Colin
