Redmine

Hi there,
you can activate that in Adminstration -> Settings there you have the chance to activate a checkbox:

Select actions for which email notifications should be sent.   
Issue added
Issue updated
News added
Document added

Hi Karl,

Thanks for the super quick response.
All boxes are checked, but email notifications aren't sent when comments are added to news tickets. I'm filing this because I'm not sure if it is a bug or a feature that hasn't been implemented.

I'm also not being notified of any comments made on news items. As with Yoshi, all the checkboxes are ticked in my install. It's not a dealbreaker, but it would be a nice feature to have.

Or did you mean something different?

Is it possible to change the actions shown in the "Email notifications setting"; remove an action or add another one ? And if possible, how (I am new with Redmine)?

Thanks,

Any update on the likelihood of this feature?

We're trying to make more use of the News feature internally, and it'd be very helpful to receive notifications when someone has commented on news ticket I've posted, or responded to a comment I've made on a news item.

This was something I thought was built-in as well...I just started using Redmine here for a new project at the college where I need to work with staff from the different divisions and one of the first things that they tried to do was comment on the news item I wrote, which was a summary of our meeting from last week. Luckily I noticed that a comment was made and was able to reply to it, but I did not receive any notice in my inbox that a comment was made.

After turning on all of the available notifications in Redmine's settings area, I am still not receiving any comment notifications and after reading this issue it does not seem like something that is currently implemented, but it sure would be useful :-).

Has there been any work done on this yet? It still appears to be a missing feature (or is it just broken)?

We even don't get emails if a new News message is commited. Nice to have that for comments on them also, but what is worng with our setup?
Checkbox mail on "News added" in Administartion Config is set.

Is there any way to ne notified about news, without enabling notification for all changes in project?

• issues changes itself (all changes on field of ticket itself)
  • yournal changes on issues, aka comments
• documents
• files
• wiki
  • wiki comments
• board threads
• Roadmap changes (issue added or removed from version, fields on version changed, version added)
• changesets (news added or chnaged)
  • comments on news

Notification dekivery immidiately, daily, weekly. Configure many sets as pair of content type and delivery period, eg. issue changes immidiately, roadmap and news changes weekly.
