K2 Notify on New Comment

As of this writing (End of 2009), K2 doesn't yet have an auto-notification when new comments are added.  I modified the item class by adding several methods and gave it this functionality.  To implement the modification:

  1. Back-up and replace the following files:
    yourwebsiteroot/administrator/components/com_k2/config.xml
    yourwebsiteroot/components/com_k2/models/item.php
  2. Login to your site's backend and go to the K2 component.
  3. Select parameters from the toolbar.
  4. Scroll down to the comments section and enter the email address to be notified.
  5. Test!

Download the K2 Comment Notifications modification.

Some of the scripts I write are to brief to be considered projects, or don't stand alone, and end up here as a snippet.
