Question

Hello,

I would like to modify the way mailnotify script create links to modified topics, I think it would be more useful if the links pointed to differences since last notification.

Has anyone written a patch to do this?

Thanks,

Gael

Answer

No code yet unless I missed something. Related: Codev.EmailNotificationEnhancements, Codev.DiffsInNotifyEmail, Codev.WebNotifyToSendActualChanges.

I finally managed to do some modifications on mailnotify: I added a '-d' option so that in the message body links to modified topics use 'rdiff' instead of 'view' script. It's not exactly what I described in first place but it was easy to make it and I find it convenient.

See attached mailnotify patch.

Thanks for the patch, will list this in Codev.EmailNotificationEnhancements as this has been asked for before.
