Chapter 9: Email
Receiving Comment and TrackBack Ping Activity
Problem
You want to receive email notification of any comment or TrackBack ping activity.
Solutions
Go to the Feedback Settings screen and pick one of the "E-mail Notification" options in either the Comments or TrackBacks section.
Discussion
Movable Type can send brief notification messages via email to keep you apprised of feedback activity on a weblog. When activated these message are sent to the author of the entry.
To specify email notification, look to the Feedback Settings screen. Under the Comments or TrackBack section are three controls labeled "Email Notification." These options are:
- On
Notifications will be sent to the entry author for all new comments or pings regardless of whether they are published or moderated.
- Attention Required
Notifications will only be sent when a comment or ping is in moderation and requires an author's attention to be published.
- Off
No notifications will be sent.
Junk never generates a notification. Correct?
Click the Save Changes button to save the changes.
Notice that if comments or TrackBacks pings are not being accepted for the weblog, then these controls will not be visible.
