with version 1.2.0 a auto subscription is possible, just install it, open the conf/settings.php and change the entry NOTIFY_AUTO_ALL to 1. All "Notify to ..." links will disappear and every user will be notified...
I should've been more specific with my request =P I have an "Announcements" category, and I'd like people to be notified of updates to it. (And while we're on the subject, can a different message be sent in stead of the one members get when being notified of something they *subscribed* to? E.g., "A new announcement has been made..." vs. "A new comment has been made to a thread you subscribed to...")
Great extension!
About that rewrite urls, it doesn't seem to respect mod_rewrite as URL_BUILDING_METHOD. The URL in the message is still in the "old" form.
May I also suggest using Discussion->Name somewhere in the message, to give the user a hint at which discussion the reply was to?
It seems after I installed the version 1.20 of Notify, I do not get any notification when new members register for the forum? It used to work with the 0.xx versions?
I upgraded from 0.2 to 1.2 today and am getting the following error everytime I post something on my site
Notice: Undefined variable: mTitle in /home2/vzx/public_html/temple/extensions/Notify/default.php on line 309
Notice: Undefined variable: mComment in /home2/vzx/public_html/temple/extensions/Notify/default.php on line 309
Notice: Undefined variable: mUser in /home2/vzx/public_html/temple/extensions/Notify/default.php on line 309
What am I doing wrong?
I just found out that the above error was related to setting NOTIFY_AUTO_ALL to 1. When I set it back to 0, I did not get any error. Strange!
Can anyone explain what's happening over here?
Something was pointed out. If you subscribe to the forums, you get notified about updates in categories that the role you belong to can't view. Clicking the link simply says the thread can't be found. Anyway to have the addon check to see if you have the permissions to view the thread before emailing you?
I've tried to get this extension to work and wasn't successful. Are there debugging options to enable to
figure out what's going on?
FWIW, the Zip2Database plugin DOES work for me, i.e. I receive backups, so I'm pretty sure the email
setup is fine.
Ok. I FINALLY got this working. Seems that I somehow accidently deleted my /js/ folder. Weird, eh? Anyways, here is my new question:
Using the global settings extension, how would I set so that everyone is notified for 1 specific category? and are notified of whispers sent to them? (Is that related to this extension?)
Also, how can we change the permissions so that people can't subscribe to full forums or categories by default (minus the one category that I can do with the global setting)? I don't mind if they subscribe and unsubscribe from their discussions, but I don't need them notified of all forum posts, especially since we haven't fixed the issue that it only notifies them of posts that apply to them.
When editing a user's settings as administrator (eg. through Search → Users), the "Notification" section does not show the user's settings, but the administrator's, thus not allowing an administrator to review and configure a specific user's notification settings. Is this behaviour intended? If so, I don't think the "Notification" section should show up at all for the administrator's panel, as it has nothing to do with a specific user other than the administrator himself.
Hello,
thanks for the Notify plugin. It works for me, but I have one thing I'd like to improve; The link provided only links to the discussion; it would be better if it pointed to the first unread comment in one discussions like the links to discussions on the discussion grid.
I dont know what Im doing wrong, but I just installed this addon and no emails are coming through to me. I checked the mail settings and they are all fine. Even changed them to different accounts just in case. I have it set to notify me for everything. I made a couple test posts but nothing comes through. What should I be looking for?
Thanks

Thanks again, hutstein!
However, what if individuals want the option to unsubscribe?

There needs to be a means for individuals to turn this off.
