[campsite-support] 4 tiny questions and 1 bigger one

    Hi,

    some tiny separate questions about the system:

    1) Can we set up an administrator and Chief Editor accounts in that
    way that they are NOT receiving an email notice of every change or
    addition in the system? (only one administrator is enough getting these)

    2) It is possible to link straight to an article by giving a link to
    somebody. How about linking to a specific attachment? I was trying to
    get the download link form admin (article page) but I get this:
    "Error: At initialization: Invalid language code 'attachment' in URL."

    3) Can you send email feedback via a form, ideally in a way that the
    response given could be tied to a specific article, and also be
    accessible through a direct link?

    4) Is it possible to send press-releases / article links via email?
    These wouldn't be automatic but merely for selected people and
    different articles goes to different people.


    This question may be a bit bigger:

    - Is there any way / tool to import previous news articles for this
    system? Of course it is possible manually to add them but when you
    want lots of articles from totally different type of system imported
    here, it is not very feasible to add them one by one.

    It would be nice if any of you have any experience on these issues.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, if you have already created the users, go to Users/Staff, select the
    user, click on Click here to customize user permissions, then uncheck the
    User will be notified on several events option.

    You can also change the default settings for those user types by going to
    Users/StafF User Types, or create your custom user types.

    I am not sure I understand your question completely. In any case, in the
    article edit page, you can go to (Link to public page), right click and
    then save the url. Or you get it from the front end (public site). You can
    also do the latter with the attachments (e.g. if you want to mail a link to
    an attachment). Otherwise, you can create links to other articles via the
    Internal Link button in the WYSIWYG editor.

    You can create such forms, but there is no straightforward way how to tie
    it to a specific article. Can you describe the use-case scenario a bit
    (especially the "accessible through a direct link" part).

    Hm, again, can you describe it a bit more. There is a way to use the
    Campsite subscription feature and tie it with the Cream CRM to send out
    newsletters, or individual articles, or whatever to select people (with all
    the regular CRM filters), but I am not sure that was the question.

    Some people have done it in the past, but we're just about to implement a
    standard way of doing this. (Please see:

    All the best,
