Send email to article author

Hi,

Is it possible to send email to article author?

At the moment, I receive a request in my mailbox and forward it manually to the article author.

Waiting for your response, thanks in advance.

Hi Ron,

You could do this with Custom PHP. You'd need to get the article ID from the page URL, then use that to look up the author ID and find their email address.

Hi Greyhead,

thanks for your comment.

I'm not very good at custom PHP. Is there a manual or example of this?

Regards Ron

Hi,

am I the only one in the world who has this problem?

Have searched and searched but keep coming up with older Joomla versions like 2.5 and 3😟

You can read the article author email from the users table using a ReadData action, in the where conditions you need to use id = id_of_article

Do you have Joomla 3 or 4 ?

Hi Max,

Thanks for your comment.

I am using Joomla 4

regards Ron🙂
