Hi
I am porting a site to Umbraco from another CMS. The old CMS allowed users to register for email updates on sections of the site. When a page was published in a particular section they would receive an email alerting them to this.
Does anyone have an idea how i can achieve similar functionality in Umbraco [v3 or v4].
I will be using the membership provider to allow users to register and i can ask them to choose from the page ids of the top levels of my site for their preferences.
What i'm unclear how to do is get an email out to them when a page is published.
Many thanks in advance
Dan

Take a look at 'action handlers', that's probably how you'd want to do it. Works in v3 as well as v4. You can find some info at http://www.umbraco.org/documentation/books/creating-and-using-an-action-handler and also some quick notes from an open space session at codegarden at http://www.umbraco.org/documentation/books/codegarden-2008/how-to-action-handlers. And obviously, search the forum and google for more info and code examples. cheers, doug.
