    Hello, we are working on a site for a client, and they want the following functionality for their directory:

    When the user updates their entry, the entry is still published but the new information (essentially a new version of said entry) is available for administrators to approve. The system sends an admin an email saying the user updated an entry, with a link to go check and approve it. Once approved, the new version of the entry is what is seen on the live site.

    Now, we are not sure about the versioning functionality as it pertains to Connections, but we have seen mention of a Notifications addon being worked on. Is there an ETA available on this plugin?

    Sorry, no ETA, yet. The basic frame works and seems to work well. The settings page is a bit of a nightmare because there are many events that can be setup trigger an email notification, each with its own custom message and recipients. the page is a huge long list. I don;t like it but I guess it’ll do for a first pass. What is holding up finishing it is creating custom shortcode that are entry specific so the message can contain the entry details rather than a generic dump of the entire info. I’m hoping to get this functionality baked in the 0.8 release of Connections due towards the end of the month so I can finish the notification extension. Honestly, I’m not sure I’ll be able to get it in this release because the API I’m working on now for custom metaboxes and fields is taking quite a bit of time to flesh out but it is coming along nicely.
