[TYPO3-english] Send email to fe_users upon news creation

[Jeppe Donslund]

On creating a new news record I get this error: |<strong>ERROR:</strong> 
No class named: tx_newsnotify_tcemainprocdm|

The code from tx_newsnotify_tcemainprocdm.php:

class tx_newsnotify_tcemainprocdm {

	function processDatamap_postProcessFieldArray ($status, $table, $id, 
&$fieldArray, &$reference) {
	
		if ($table == 'tt_news') {
	  	switch ($status) {
	    	case 'new':
	      	/* Send email code */
	      	// The message
					$message = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";
					
					// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we 
should use wordwrap()
					$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
					
					// Send
					mail('jd at masters.dk', 'Fra seatrout.dk', $message);
				break;
			}
		}
	}
}

I have tried to register the class in ext_localconf.php with this:
$GLOBALS 
['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php']['processDatamapClass'][] 
= 
'EXT:m_st_sendnewsnotification/class.tx_newsnotify_tcemainprocdm.php:tx_newsnotify_tcemainprocdm';

Should t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php the change to a file in tt_news?


Regards
Jeppe
