Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] external emails

[Daryl L. L. Houston]

I'd think this would be pretty easy to implement.  Just add a database field 
and a textbox to the template.  Then, in the portion of the calendar code 
that does the emailing, you'd split the text field on commas or returns and 
perform the email routine for each address.  The main pitfall that springs to 
mind is that performance would take a hit as the emails were sent out (the 
longer the list, the longer the load). I think you'd find the code to screw 
with in calendar/class.uiprojects.inc.php, though other files to look at if 
you don't turn anything up there are soprojects and boprojects. Look for the 
string "REJECT" and go from there.
