Hi guys, I've been spending a great deal of time over the last few weeks planning the design of my new website. However, there is one thing that could make life so much easier.
How about an option to have just one of your components (EasySocial seems the most logic, hence my post here) handle all of the email notifications for your other products?
In the same way that you can have ES handling profiles and avatars, it would be great and a lot less hassle if we could have ES doing the same for email notifications.
It would be so good if my users were able to subscribe to daily and weekly digests of what has been going on across the site. A single email would show EasyBlog, EasyDiscuss and EasySocial community updates, all in one place.
If you added the ability to include new joomla articles (selectable by category), this could cater for core Joomla and CCK article updates to.
To take things even further, why not include an SDK so that third-party developers can push publish and push their updates through the same system? It makes sense if all email notification activity could be handled in a single extension and ES is the best candidate IMHO.
The SDK could let the developers choose to have an email send immediately (an important notification), or have it included in the daily or weekly digest.
This would be one of the strongest selling points (as if more were needed) to make EasySocial the must have Joomla community extension. If you like, charge for it as an add-on, I'd pay, but I think including it would be better, as I think third-party develops would flock to support it, as it's less hassle for them and they'll be getting I undated with requests from us to support it.
Just a thought!
