EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

The main aim of the project was to manage too many notifications for subsequent edits and new taggings on nodes. This is the original proposal to the project

Work Done

- Email notifications without scheduling

This involved sending emails t tag subscribers on new tagging, found here. The issues were broken into the following subsections:

• Check whether a user has gotten any notification regarding new node creation or any of its tagging.
• Check the tags on a node.
• Get the list of users following the new tag.
• Check that for each of the users following the new tag, none is following the existing tags.
• Tests for the above conditions.

Tag addition Notification

This used the above conditions to send notifications. It was done in the following steps:

• Create a mailer template with the notification information.
• Trigger for the new notifications.
• Tests for the notifications. Here is the summary of the work merged.

Precursor to active Jobs

Future work to be done
