trigger Recordset: Specials is not empty

i have installed power cms2. I have added a section for specials. What I would like to do is, when the specials is updated, send a email to all the people in a data base table.

I have been able to send an email from the update page, but it also sends an email when other pages are updated.

I tride using the trigger function, Recordset: Specials is not empty, created a record from

Recordset: Specials
pcms2_contens

all

then i filtered using contengroup = form variable specials nothing happend.

If you are able to update the specials without issue then you should have UE applied to this page and have it trigger on the same trigger as the update. This way whenever the update occurs so will the emails.

i only want the email to be sent when the specials are updated not all of the pages

How do you update the specials? Normally updates occur on a single page with an update server behavior. If you were to add in Universal Email to this page that has the update server behavior on it and set it to the same trigger it should only send emails when this update occurs. Have you tried it this way? If so what is the result that you are getting. If you have any other troubles with this please post back with the update page in question.

i have added the specials just like any other page in the cms
i would like to be able to send an email when just the specials are update not home about etc.

Thanks for clarifying this, to make the UE server behavior only occur when the content of your new specials page is updated via the contents_update page you will need to modify the trigger for the UE server behavior. You will need to check on the posted ContentGroup to see if it is equal to specials, it might look like this:

if (isset($_POST["Update"]) && (isset($_POST["ContentGroup"])) && $_POST["ContentGroup"] == "specials")

the code above did not send and email when changed the email trigger
if (isset($_POST["Update"]) to
if (isset($_POST["Update"]) && (isset($_POST["ContentGroup"])) && $_POST["ContentGroup"] == "specials")

This is a custom update that you will need to be making in the code directly, the example that I posted was only an example. It is checking on the inserted ContentGroup to see if it is equal to specials. You may need to adapt this to fit the exact ContentGroup value that is being used. You should be able to see this in your db in the contents table for the content group.
