[wp-hackers] Category-Specific Email Notification Plugin

[Danny Dawson]

Sorry, I'm still having trouble trying to figure out where exactly to
insert that statement.  I tried inserting it before SELECT TITLE FROM
DB and I've tried inserting it before
 		if (isset($_POST['publish'])) $post_status = 'publish';
with no luck.  I've attached most of the relevant code (from the
beginning of the plugin) below.

    //********************************************************//
    //                    CREATE VARIABLES
    //********************************************************//
    if(!isset($wpdb->posts)) {
       $wpdb->posts               = $table_prefix . 'posts';
       $wpdb->postmeta            = $table_prefix . 'postmeta';
       $wpdb->users               = $table_prefix . 'users';
      }

    if(!isset($wpdb->email_list)) {
       $wpdb->email_list          = $table_prefix . 'email_list';
      }

    // add_action(hook, action, priority)
    // [priority 0-10 with 0 being the highest priority]
    add_action('publish_post', 'send_notification', 5);

function send_notification($post_ID)  {

    //********************************************************//
    //                   CONFIG SECTION
    //********************************************************//

      $from_email = 'intranet at fontshop.com';
      $nice_urls = 'no';     // yes or no
      $show_content = 'yes';  // yes or no - send the entire post in email
      $html_email = 'no';    // yes for HTML, no for Text

    //********************************************************//
    //                     OTHER SETTINGS
    //********************************************************//

      # Site Information
      $site_name = get_settings('blogname');
      $site_url = get_settings('siteurl');
      $blog_url = get_settings('home');

      # Set Global
      global $wpdb;

    //********************************************************//
    //                   GRAB POST STATUS
    //********************************************************//
		$prev_status = $_POST['prev_status'];
		$post_status = $_POST['post_status'];

		if (isset($_POST['publish'])) $post_status = 'publish';

		//********************************************************//
		// are we going from draft/private to published?
		//********************************************************//
		if ($prev_status != 'publish' && $post_status == 'publish') {

	    //********************************************************//
	    //               SELECT TITLE FROM DB
	    //********************************************************//
	    $query = "SELECT post_title, post_content FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE
ID = '$post_ID'";
      $row = $wpdb->get_row($query);

	    $post_title = stripslashes($row->post_title);
      $post_title =
str_replace(array("“","â€?","’","â€"","â€"","…"),
array('"','"','´','–','—','...'), $post_title);
      $post_title = utf8_decode($post_title);

	    $post_content = stripslashes($row->post_content);
      $post_content =
str_replace(array("“","â€?","’","â€"","â€"","…"," "),
array('"','"','´','–','—','...',' '), $post_content);
      $post_content = utf8_decode($post_content);

      if ($html_email != 'yes'){
        $post_content =
str_replace(array("<ul>","</ul>","<ol>","</ol>","<li>","</li>"),
array('','','','','* ',''), $post_content);
        $post_content = strip_tags($post_content);
        }
