=============

ckanext-reminder

This extension has two main functions.

1. The extension provides simple email notifications for datasets which have a set data-expiry date. The extension relies on a daily cronjob during which datasets are checked if the reminder-data is set to current date. The email sending process is not retried in any way and the emails will not be sent if the cronjob fails to run for some reason.

2. The extension provides a subscription form snippet which can be added to dataset templates. Users can submit their email address and receive notifications of these specific datasets when they are updated. The user can unsubscribe from any datasets by clicking the link located at the bottom of the email.

Requirements

This extension is developed and tested with CKAN version 2.5.2 but versions starting from 2.2 should work fine. This extension also needs Bootstrap 3+ for styling to work properly. Bootstrap 2 should mainly be fine, but styles might be a bit off at least with the subscription_form template.
