Prevent email notification until approved?

What is the version of Community Answers you are using? Please upgrade to latest version.

I only just recently uploaded the latest version 1.7.1 version date 2011-08-27, and installed. We are currently testing it, and this was a problem that was brought up through testing.

You are correct. Answers moderation was added in the last version and this was missed to consider in it. You can quickly fix it by following the below procedure.

Find below code in components/com_communityanswers/controllers/answers.php at line 398

if($config[A_NOTIF_NEW_ANSWER] == '1'){

Change it to

if($config[A_NOTIF_NEW_ANSWER] == '1' && CAuthorization::authorise('answers.autoanswer')){

This will prevent notification before approving. However sending notification after approval require some more coding which I will do for next version.

So if I use this new code, it will prevent email being sent automatically, but the down side is, no email notification will be sent at all, once it is! approved, until this is introduced in new version. Correct!

So, what is the time frame for this new version with this feature, please.

As soon as possible.
