Workflows can indeed send email notifications, however, they don't give users the freedom to select from the front-end which categories, tags, authors etc they want to subsribe too.

But Workflows is still a decent alternative for simpler user cases.

We tried the extension on  multiple websites, multiple hostings. Nothing was working. 

I tested for almost 14 days and the conclusion is that the problem was not myself, but the bugs of the extension

Submitted my problem on a joomla forum and found out that such a tool is integrated by default in Joomla version 4.x Workflows. In the meantime, this has been tested, and this can be used very well for me. A great value for Joomla.

I'm sorry but I will not be able to help further with this.

Unfortunately I will have to discontinue the extension. The main reason is the difficult debugging due to the complicated nature of the component.

Most people do not have issues with the component, but for those who have issues, the debugging is extremely difficult and time consuming.

Hello

This is the respons of the technical support team of het hosting siteground:

Further configuration troubles related to the extensions that you are using (in this case - content-notifications), are considered development issues and should be addressed by the extension developer, because such are not covered by our scope of support

There are no entries throughout our logs about other notification emails related to the execution of the cron-jobs, so nothing server side is blocking such emails - they are simply not send and this is something that the developer of the extension should take care of. You must contact the developers of the extension and ask what settings are required in order for all the necessary notification emails to be send out during a cron-job execution.


If there is anything server side related that we should check, feel free to contact us back at any given time.

My hosting checked the cron jobs and he asked me about the following ending of the cronjob

> 2023-06-20 12:52:40 (0.00 B/s) - ‘--max-redirect=10000’ saved [0/0] suggest that a file called --max-redirect=10000 is created with no content inside of it.

With that said, you might want to ask the extension developers if such output is expected.

Can you give me an answer please, thanks 

hello

I started a new website with no extra template or extension. I used the steps provided in the documentation. And it is still not working, it was not necesessary to refund. I only want support to use this extension.

The hosting was checking the cron jobs, and everything was correct - but no mails and no update confirmation.

A third part also tried to use the extension, the same problem. That is not normal that you sell an extension and it is not working. Just give me some support, and thanks in advance

I have already refunded the money. I am sorry but the extension should be working with the steps that I have provided in the documentation.

Hello

again no mail was send - can i have support please

i started with a whole new (empty) website - webdesign-caroline.online

1 article, i installed the extenion and plugins again and i made 3 cronjobs, on an other hosting (siteground). Now I will wait about 1 hour to check

if you want i make for you a super admin user, so you can check

The refund has been issued and will be finalized within the next 4 hours.

The amount will be visible back in your account within 1 business day.

It seems that the component will just not work as it should in your website.

I'm sorry for the trouble, I will issue a refund right now.

I created the last cron job once every hour, but no mail was send

No more mails in the queue

I see that the notification has been successfully been processed and the email queue has been created.

Now there is one last step to send the emails. You must create one more cron job that will automatically send the email queue for all processed notifications.

You can find the command for this last cron job at https://www.minitek.gr/support/documentation/joomla/content-notifications/sending-emails.

After you have created the cron job, emails will be sent. You can create a cron job that executes once every hour.

hello

No mail, no notification. 

Today i tried again, with a new notification, with the article joomla specialist, but no result

Sorry, but I still don't understand how to use this extension, I'm not a joomla beginner and worked a lot with cron-jobs, extensions, templates, css, scripts. But this extension still doesn't work as it should. Can you configurate this extension for me correctly?

thanks for your help

OK, i wait about 1 hour. And check again

The first one (Joomla specialist) has a pending Email queue because nobody is subscribed to that article.

The second one (test) has 1 subscriber. We must wait for the second one to be processed by the cron job. It will be processed once per hour, so we must wait until the cron job executes.

notification events (in dashboard) 2 pending

Follows: 1

no email queue

Ok, now create a new notification event for the article 'test', so that we can check that the cron jobs work correctly.

If they work correctly, you should see that the Notification event will be processed.

This means that the Updates and the Email Queue will be created.

is done, every hour

These asterisks represent the timing, which consists of five fields:

• minute
• hour
• day of month
• month
• day of week

Each asterisk represents a field in the cron expression, from left to right: minute, hour, day of month, month, and day of week.

By using * for all fields, you are instructing the cron job to run every minute, every hour, every day of the month, every month, and every day of the week.

To execute the script once every hour, you should use the following cron expression:

0 * * * *

This expression specifies that the script should run at the 0th minute of every hour, while the remaining fields can be set to asterisks (*) to indicate any value. This cron expression will execute the script once per hour, rather than every minute.
