<h4>What about Notify On Action?</h4>
<h3>How to Use it</h3>
Ways to use this plugin: 
 * Send Standard Notification 
 – Create a new Notification Type in the form below (i.e Notification Name is “SaluteMyFriend”) 
 – Add this code in the Theme/Plugin function when you want the notification to be submitted:
<pre> if (has_action("noa_notify_on_action")){ 
 do_action( "noa_notify_on_action","SaluteMyFriend", $args);
 }
 </pre>
Once the do_action executes, an email notification will be send with the information on the “SaluteMyFriend” Notification Type
<pre><code> * Send Notification with Application Specific Data
 You can also submit arguments to be sent in your email. For example, lets say you would like your email template to include application specific information which varies depending on where the user clicks, then you can pass that argument into the do_action function. 
 - Create a new Notification Type in the form below (i.e Notification Name is "SaluteMyFriend")
- Wherever you want application specific data to be in the email, create a %xxxx% tag. (i.e In Message text box include %arg1%, %arg2%)
<pre>
 if (has_action("noa_notify_on_action")){
 $args = array("arg1" => "Good Morning",
 "arg2"=> "Joe Doh" 
 );

 do_action( "noa_notify_on_action","SaluteMyFriend", $args);
}
 </pre>

In the Notification Type you the tags %arg1%, %arg2% to substitute the values sent. The name of the tag (i.e arg needs to match in the template and in the $args variable.

The name of these arguments need to match between the Notification Type template and the argument sent by the application. For example, if you write in the message of your Notification type "The price of %product% is %price%", then your code will look like this:
<pre>
if (has_action("noa_notify_on_action")){
 $args = array("product" => "Computer",
 "price"=> "$850.99" );

 do_action( "noa_notify_on_action","ProductConfirmation", $args);
}
</pre>


You can use these %args% only in the Body of the message.

* Send Notification to Application Specific Recipients</h3>

If the recipient needs to be specified by the application, use the keyword "recipients" in the arguments array. 
 if (has_action("noa_notify_on_action")){
 $args = array( "recipients" => array("john@gmail.com","giulia@yahoo.com"),
 "product" => "Computer",
 "price"=> "$850.99" 
 );

 do_action( "noa_notify_on_action","ProductConfirmation", $args);
 }
 </pre>

This will send the Notification Type template to John and Giulia\'s emails.
</code></pre>

The WP-Announcements plugin is ideal for websites or blogs that would like to display a site wide announcement, featured post, important message, community notice, advertisement, survey form, email subscription form, emergency alert or anything you can publish in a post as a marquee or popup window using ShadowBox-JS or ThickBox.
WP-Announcements provides two announcement options:
<ol>
<li>
A customizable marquee that displays an assigned post title linked to that actual post. The marquee can be displayed by calling the php function wp_announce_marquee(”) anywhere in your theme, using the WP-Announce-Marquee Widget or using the Shortcode [wp_announce_marquee] anywhere in your post or page content.
</li>
<li>
A popup window using ShadowBox-JS or ThickBox that displays the title and content of an assigned announcement post. The popup will only show up once for each website visitor per active popup post as a cookie is created. You can also set a popup window for each time a website member logs into the admin dashboard.
</li>
</ol>
WP-Announcements activates checkboxes on the add/edit post page to allow easy assignment of announcement posts. An admin page under the settings tab is also included to toggle announcements on or off and to manage all posts saved as announcements for easy retrieval and reuse of reoccurring announcements in the future.
Works with WordPress and WordPress MU 2.8.1
