[Tiki-devel] Tracker notification options

Hi all

I seem to have designed myself into a corner on a client site, regarding how to send "nice" notifications from tracker items...

This is a "news" tracker, so i possibly could have used articles or a blog, but i think the notifications problem would be the same for them.

One main issue is that they use "Daily Reports" a lot:

    https://doc.tiki.org/Daily-Reports

...which are great, but users subscribed to them only get the item creation/modified notifs in those digest report emails as a one-liner, so the normal individual emails about this tracker don't get sent, which makes sense.

Also, the client wants them to be "pretty" html emails, preferably with a formatted teaser text and an image if possible.

So i thought of plugin ListExecute, but that only sends to individually users or emails, and this needs to go to all the users in a group, so i was looking at adding that as a new minor improvement to Search_Action_EmailAction, but the way that plugin works that wasn't as trivial as i was hoping...

So i thought i'd ask here :)

Has anyone got any thoughts as to existing features in Tiki that would do this? Using newsletters somehow maybe..?

Any suggestions gratefully anticipated!
