[FLOW3-general] Understanding MVC - Sending email, where?

["Christian Müller (Kitsunet)"]

Hi Kira,

I think it would be in order to define something like an EmailService to 
which you give the ContentPage Subscribers and it sends the mail and 
call this Service in your publish() method.

If you want to get more sophisticated you could define either an 
observer for the ContentPages so that the observer is notified when 
publishing happened (you don't even need a real observer, you can use 
Signal / Slots for that) and additionally you could abstract what should 
happen on publish by defining something linke publishing rules, one of 
them being to send the mail.

Cheers,
Christian
