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

[Bernard Munslow]

Hi Jeppe,

No need to tamper with the files in the tt_news module at all.

Have a look into the link I send in the last mail.

All you have to do is create a new extension with the kickstarter, and 
create the file with the hook.

You'll probably want to instantiate a hook in TCEMAIN.  Your class can 
be something like this:

class tx_felo_tcemainprocdm {

function processDatamap_postProcessFieldArray ($status, $table, $id, 
&$fieldArray, &$reference) {

      if ($table == 'tt_news') {
          switch ($status) {
              case 'new':
                  /* Send email code */
		break;
...
		}
	}
}
}

HTH.

.- Bernard
