   Hello guys, on my site, I need to be able to send an email to the authors of their post when I add a post to my favorites.
   Is there anyone who can help me?

   Yeah, It would be nice. Maybe next releases support this feature :)

   +1 This would be awesome to have. Maybe a hack could be fleshed out?

   For example this is what I'm using to fire off an email to an author letting them know that their post was published.

   //send email to author once entry is approved
   function _notifyContributers($post_id) {
      $post = get_post($post_id);
      $author = get_userdata($post->post_author);
   
      $message = "
         Hi ".$author->display_name.",\n
         Congratulations, your entry - ".$post->post_title." - has just been published.
      ";
      wp_mail($author->user_email, "Your image is now live on Videogame-art.com", $message);
   }
   add_action('publish_portfolio', '_notifyContributers');

   Ok so I was thinking, is there a way to combine the function I posted with the one below?

   function postfavorited(){
   	$postfavorited = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'wpfp_favorites', true);
   	if($postfavorited != ''){
   		echo $postfavorited .' Favorited'; }
   		}
   	}

   Maybe remove the "if" statement? Might try this out.
