Configuring email and messaging
You can configure the default behaviour of ResourceSpace with the following configuration options
System settings
To change the email address that system emails are sent from, navigate to Admin > System > System configuration and change the 'Email from address'.
The 'Email notify' address is no longer used. This has been replaced by $email_notify_usergroups.
TIP: If the address does not belong to a real user you can instead set up a dummy user account with the required email address and a secure password,then add the user to a dedicated notifications usergroup, log on as that user through user edit page and set their preferences as required. Then finally set the group ID in the $email_notify_usergroups e.g.$email_notify_usergroups = array(8)
User settings
In the include/config.php file you can set the following options
$user_pref_resource_notifications |
This sets the default user preference for receiving notifications about resource state changes e.g. resources submitted for review. This default can be changed by users. From version 10 the legacy resource submission notficitions have been replaced by actions so this option only affects a few notifications e.g those sent when a resource file is replaced or those sent to admins when $send_collection_to_admin is enabled |
$user_pref_resource_access_notifications |
This sets the default user preference for receiving notifications about resource requests* |
$admin_resource_access_notifications |
