What is iw.subscriber ?

This package allow Plone users to subscribe to contents. Then they will be notified on all creation/modification on this contents.

How to use iw.subscriber ?

You need a clock server. Add something like this to your zope.conf:

<clock-server>
  # path_to_plone_site is the real path to your plone site
  method /path_to_plone_site/iw_subscriber_tick
  period 60
  user admin
  password xxx
  # You need your *real* host here
  host www.example.com
</clock-server>

Or if you have a Virtual Host:

<clock-server>
  # path with a VirtualHost. same as apache.
  method /VirtualHostBase/http/www.example.com:80/portal/VirtualHostRoot/iw_subscriber_tick
  period 60
  user admin
  password xxx
</clock-server>

buildout configuration

If you use buildout, you just need to add the clock server part in the zope-conf-additional section of your plone.recipe.zope2instance.

In addition you can use the iw.recipe.sendmail to send mails via zope.sendmail (an asynchronous mail queue system).

Here is a simple example:

[buildout]
parts=
  zopeinstance
  mailer

[zopeinstance]
recipe=plone.recipe.zope2instance
...
zope-conf-additional=
  <clock-server>
    method /portal/iw_subscriber_tick
    period 60
    user admin
    password xxx
  </clock-server>

[mailer]
recipe=iw.recipe.sendmail
zope2location=${zopeinstance:location}
host=smtp.example.com
