Wwwboard notification

[Vwman]

I have 4 people that need to be notified by email when ever there is a post to our wwwboard forum. Ideally, the entire post would be passed on to these people. I was thinking Formmail would be good for this but I would need one post to trigger both cgi scripts and I'm not educated enough to do that. Maybe the information can go from one script to the other.

It doesn't have to be particularly fast or fancy, just reliable. If necessary the people can go look at the post but I would prefer all of the information to be sent.

I understand html pretty well but I'm new to perl cgi scripts so please treat me like the dummy I am.

Thanks for anything you can do to help.

Tom

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Vwman,

did you get anywhere with this, sorry no one responded. Does it do any emailing right now when someone posts? Or is it just submitted to the board?

formmail could do it I would think. When the user submits their post it writes it to the db/flatfile and then can email as well right in the end of that same script. You could send it to the 4 people or maybe just use an alias/group that goes to those four people. That would make it easier to manage if those people change in the future.

Thanks for asking. I appreciate your interest! I've not had a lot of people jump in to help on this one.

I pretty much finished it up last night with the help of a man from another forum.

We took the necessary code to do the mailing and added it in to wwwboard.

I'm quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Thanks,
Tom

Glad you got it sorted.
