The Email page allows you to specify email control options for a blog including email notification, contact, and comment notification properties.
Notes:
- Telligent Community Server checks a user's permissions to ensure he/she has read permission before allowing him/her to see the contents of an application, such as read permission to a blog before allowing the author to receive comments or feedback from it.
- When users unsubscribe from a group, they are automatically unsubscribed from all sections within it including the applications (i.e. blog).
- If a forum or blog post contains no subject, the first 64 characters of the post are substituted as a subject.
To set the blog email properties:
- In your blog list, click the name of the blog.
- Click a blog post.
- Click More.
- Click Manage blog.
- Navigate to Configure > Blog Setup > Email. (Alternatively, navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > Manage my blogs > Select a blog to manage > (blog title) > Configure > Blog Setup > Email.)
- Set the Email page property:
- Email Notification - You can specify whether you want to be notified when a reader adds a comment to a post, all feedback (for the blog) or all comments (for the post). Emails are sent to the owner private email address specified in Settings > Options. If the Send notifications option is disabled in the author's personal Settings > Notifications tab, he/she will not receive email notifications even if the Email Notification property is enabled on this blog setup page.
If you elect for the owner to receive comments or feedback ("All feedback" or "All comments"), more options will appear:
- Multi-user blogging - If you specify yes, all authors specified for the blog will receive the email notifications of comments or feedback.
- Enable the email blog author form - This option must be set to yes if you want the Configure the Blog - Links widget Contact Author tab to work for this blog. Otherwise, set it to no.
- Contact email address - The address to which Contact Author contact attempts will be sent.
- Send notifications for SPAM comments - If you specify yes, you will be able to review these comments.
- Moderation notifications - The threshold number of comments awaiting moderation that will trigger the moderation notification.
- Click Save to apply the settings.
