Description: Currently notifications are only triggered by (successful) page edits. Remembering pmwiki as a collaboration tool, one would surely also want to be notified if a colleague adds or updates a file on the site. (Actually every change on the site may be relevant.)

Thus I would like pmwiki to do also notifications on successful uploads.

An improvement of the solution that follows below can be found in recipe NotifyOnUpload. ThomasP August 14, 2006, at 05:50 PM

Reviewing the script/notify.php, it seems the only things needed are an array $UploadFunctions similar to $EditFunctions, code similar to

if ($upresult == "success")
  foreach((array)$UploadFunctions as $fn) $fn($pagename,...);

in HandleUpload() in scripts/upload.php that is executed on sucessful upload, and the registering of an UploadNotify() function (defined similar as PostNotify()) as one upload function in scripts/notify.php:

$UploadFunctions[] = 'UploadNotify';

The last line could of course be made optional using a config switch.
