“Not getting a notification when a new listing is submitted is something I’m sure nobody would want. Not sure how you intend to manage it”
Currently the admins of the site is the only ones able to publish new listings and the users only able to edit the information.
“Not getting a notification when a new listing is submitted is something I’m sure nobody would want.”
Depends on how you use GD. I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in using GD like this.
“Also we can’t tell the system to only send the email when the status is move from draft to publish only when the user wants. It will do it everytime, you should refrain from changing status instead.”
For users who don’t have the knowledge to code a workaround this is quite a strange recommendation. If you refrain from changing status you pretty much take away the ability to hide listings.
Anyways. I solved this with a workaround that involves custom code.
”
add_action( ‘post_updated’, ‘run_when_post_published_first_time’);
function run_when_post_published_first_time($post_id) {
global $post, $wpdb;
if($post->post_type !== ‘gd_place’)
return; // also check for autosave/revision
$result = $wpdb->get_var(“SELECT post_id FROM wp_geodir_gd_place_detail WHERE post_id=’$post_id'”);
if( isset($result) && !empty($result) ) {
// New listing
}
else
//listing already exists
}

“Forwarding emails from an account to another is something you do via your email account. With gmail for example this is how it is done:”
I thought you meant a wordpress filter, not email forwarding.
“but we are not interested in adding features that are only needed by 1 or very few members.”
Not sure how you get a feeling for how many needs a specific function since most users aren’t on your forums.
Thanks for the answers anyways.
You can set this to resolved.
