How do I hack MT so that I don't receive a notification when I post a comment to my own site? I tried an old hack but it didn't work in the current MT version.

Thanks!

Hi Jill.

CODE

lib/MT/App/Comments.pm

/* No email notification on own comments */
CHANGE THIS:
MT::Mail->send(\%head, <BODY);

TO THIS:
MT::Mail->send(\%head, $body) unless $author->email eq $comment->email;

Thanks. Tried it but I am still getting the email. Did a full rebuild after uploading the file too. Can't figure out why it isn't working. LOL

OMG care to guess what silly thing it was? I have two copies of the comments.pm file. The original and an altered one I keep in a seperate folder on my pc. I somehow managed to alter the original and was uploading the UN-altered copy. LOL!!!!!!!!! Boy do I feel stupid now. LOL

Thanks for your help!

Hi. Is there a way to check the entry author and comment author instead of using the email?

I've tried the following variations and none of them seemed to work.

unless $author->name eq $comment->author;
unless $entry->author eq $comment->author;
unless $author eq $comment->author;

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated
