guestbook notification

Permalink
I've set up a blog using ProBlog which employs the standard guestbook.

We're setting up moderation and I'm imagining sometime in the future they may want to change what email receives notification.

Am I right that we would have to update every instance of the guestbook? This seems like insanity.

An alternative seems to be to hard-code the email into the guestbook controller (saving to /blocks/guestbook to prevent overwriting).

Not sure if this makes sense or if there is another way. Would be nice to have this be more global (over-rideable per block) so c5 can be a better blog tool.

Duplicating the /concrete/blocks/guestbook/controller.php to /blocks/guestbook/controller.php and manually setting/replacing the 'require approval' and 'notify email' variables seems like the way to go with this one. That way we don't need to update any blocks or single-page controllers. Just upload the new controller and it's set globally for all guestbooks. Sweet.

If there are any other ideas out there I'm definitely open to suggestions.
