Hello, in order to receive a notification immediately when a user post a new content on the site in notification settings I chose:

send notifications immediately
subscribe me to each new record

(I am not following the section/categories though)

Anyway, when I log into the site I do see notification for new records awaiting approval, but the email are not being sent

I have this cronjob running every 30 minutes

wget -O /dev/null " http://mysite.net/index.php?option=com_cobalt& ;task=cron.sendAlert&secret=xxx" > /dev/null

(the domain is just an example and the secret word is different)

The cron seems to be running normally

Please let me know if I am missing something here.

Thank you

Try

curl -A "cobaltcron" " http://domain.com/index.php?option=com_cobalt& ;task=cron.sendAlert&secret=xxx"

I also tried to just copy/paste the cron url in the browser, still no alerts are being sent

I will try a different format anyway, just to see what happens

Note that notifications that was showed in the list are no longer considered to be unalerted. SO if you check notifications in the list before cron, nothing will be sent.

Also note that there is parameter how often. If it once a day, then only next day trigger will send notifications.

I know but it's not due to that.

But I just noticed this in my type configuration

cobalt_email_alerts

can this be the problem? I guess so...

BTW how is there any possibility to disable email alerts at all, but global admin still receive an email when a record is awaiting approval? Should I maybe make my user a moderator. Have to look into that...

Every event in sction parameters have access level. Set all everts and also Allow Follow only for special users. Then only those users will see subscribe button and get notifications.
