Maybe it's the lack of sleep, but I'm struggling with what seems to be a simple task. Essentially I want to send an email to an admin when a record is updated via grocery crud. This email would only need to contain the new record--basically just saying "hey just a heads-up, this was changed in your database." Would it be easiest to do this directly in the grocery crud model (bad practice, I know)? Or via the controller calling the model? Thanks.

you can use a callback function called 'callback_after_update'

This worked perfectly, thanks!

Hi guys,

 

i am sending an email on callback_after_update and callback_after_insert..

Email View is sent without any issue... but not able to send any columns from the updated or inserted record into the email view.

 

just stuck on this only

Actually i am able to pass array successfully and show all fields when i add and update. 

 

Just one issue now.. there is one field receipt_no which is sent as subject only when a record is inserted ... but on update this field does not get passed.

 

This field is hidden and autogenerated. this autogeneration should happen only while inserting record.. so i have not added it to the edit_fields function.

 

i guess that is the reason its not there in the array whilst  doing callback on update any fixes..

I don't quite follow your thinking...

Ok, you auto generate this field. This is not stored anywhere while inserting a new record? On an existing field?

Autogenerated field is stored in database.. but is hidden in the form..
