[TYPO3] Extension "comments" notification without the need to approve each comment?

[Thomas Hirt]

Sorry, for my incorrect description.

CODE
$templateCode = $pObj->cObj->fileResource($conf['templateFile']);
var_dump ($templateCode);

RETURNS
NULL

So I think "$conf['templateFile']" is the problem.
How can I fill my variable with the content of the file 
"ext_typoscript_setup.txt" where I have the following code:

plugin.tx_commentsemail_pi1.templateFile = EXT:comments_email/res/email.txt

(The User could the write the following typoscript code in setup, 
couldn't he?
plugin.tx_commentsemail_pi1.templateFile = whatever)

----------------------------------------------------
Thanks for that code snippet. But I cannot get it to work.
It return the string I put in...

CODE
require_once(t3lib_extMgm::extPath('lang', 'lang.php'));
$lang = t3lib_div::makeInstance('language');
$lang->init($GLOBALS['TSFE']->lang);
$string = 
$lang->sL('EXT:comments_email/pi1/locallang.xml:comments_email_subject_no_approval');
var_dump($string);

RETURNS
string(71) 
"EXT:comments_email/pi1/locallang.xml:comments_email_subject_no_approval"

My locallang.xml in pi1 Folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<T3locallang>
	<meta type="array">
		<description>Language labels for comments (hook) email without 
notification</description>
		<type>module</type>
		<csh_table></csh_table>
		<fileId>EXT:comments_email/pi1/locallang.xml</fileId>
		<labelContext type="array">
			<label index="tt_content.list_type_pi1"></label>
		</labelContext>
	</meta>
	<data type="array">
		<languageKey index="default" type="array">
			<label index="comments_email_subject_no_approval">Notification about 
new comment</label>
		</languageKey>
		<languageKey index="de" type="array">
			<label index="comments_email_subject_no_approval">Nachricht über neue 
Kommentare</label>
		</languageKey>
	</data>
</T3locallang>
----------------------------------------------------

I changed
class tx_commentsemail_hooks extends tslib_pibase {

into
class tx_commentsemail_hooks  {

Thanks for that tip!
----------------------------------------------------

I deleted the variable "$commentUri = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI'];"
You're right, it was unused!
----------------------------------------------------

OK, just single quotes are fine
----------------------------------------------------

UPS, I made a mistake....
I don't want do add a checkbox and input field to tt_news or tt_product 
flexform.
(Actually my code worked fine an the field apeared in tt_news or 
tt_products)

I want to add this two field to the comments extension!
So people can check the box when they whant to receive Email without 
approving each comment and
that they can define there path to the template for the email.

I found out that the file flexform_ds_spamprotect.xml contains the 
flexform where I want to add field.
But how could this work? Also through ext_tables.php?
No clue how this could work and where this information (if a box is 
checked or unchecked) is stored.
I looked in the mySQL DB but can't find any hint.


----------------------------------------------------

I bought dmitrys book yesterday...
I hope it will cover all this issues

Great help!
Thomas
