It'd be fairly simple to use hook_nodeapi and just detect there whenever someone creates a new node and send it off right away. PHPMailer is a nice library for actually sending the emails. --Kyle Mathews kyle.mathews2000.com/blog http://twitter.com/kylemathews On Thu, Jan 28, 2010 at 7:51 AM, Ernst Plüss <ernst.pluess@gmail.com> wrote:
Great Module, but it seams that it only sends mails to known users. In my case the email addresses are taken form a cck field.
Any other ideas?

You might want to have a look at: http://drupal.org/project/notifications and its associated modules too.

Thanks for the hint!
I need a solution which sends the email right after the node has been created (30-60 Seconds delay would be ok).
I had a quick look at the rules scheduler code. Unfortunately it's not a real timer solution. It just wirtes a record to the db. The next time cron is run all sceduled rule sets which have expired are executed. I think it's not a good idea to call cron every 60 Seconds.
Is there a way to tell drupal (or apache) to do something in x Seconds?

You could use the rules module, in a fairly complex way:
Add you email sending rule as a new rule set. Enable the rules scheduler component, and set it so that 30 seconds after a new node is created the rule set is called with the node inserted. This might work, is probably over-complicated, you won't like the UI, but it's very flexible.

Hi Drupalfriends
How can I send the contents of a node by email after it has been created?
I installed the print module and tired to call their methods from hook_nodeapi up on $op=='instert'. But it turned out that at this
point
not all node information is saved, which causes a lot of funny side effects (access control, strange messages on screen, etc).
The best thing I found is to have a hidden iframe, when the contents is shown after the user hits send. The link of the iframe would call a call back url which triggers the mail functionality. But I'm not really happy with this solution.
Any ideas are welcome?
Best Regards Ernst
