The checkbox could then default to whatever prior preference the user has set.
Thanks for working on this.
When set to 0, the notify table in the DB just doesn't get poulated at all. it's empty. I tried jprado's code tweak to function.php, but made no difference.
Hope this helps.
Want an option to have an html formatted full text of the comment in users email notifications and not only one notification but all comments.
And the reply link would be nice too and the reply form woulbe grate.(but there are more problems with authentification)
I have used it when admined my last forum, it was so good when you don't have to enter the forum just to see another smile in a comment.
i read all forum messages by email in this way.
if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array('comments.php','index.php','account.php','categories.php'))) $Head->AddScript('js/prototype.js'); $Head->AddScript('js/scriptaculous.js'); $Head->AddScript('extensions/Notify/functions.js');Should be replaced by:
if (in_array($Context->SelfUrl, array('comments.php','index.php','account.php','categories.php'))) { $Head->AddScript('js/prototype.js'); $Head->AddScript('js/scriptaculous.js'); $Head->AddScript('extensions/Notify/functions.js'); }Posted: Thursday, 1 November 2007 at 6:09PM
The Ajax doofer seems to run ok, and then the link will change to say "unsubscribe" , but no joy.
Because it appears this extensions relies on the whisper function within vanilla, "ENABLE WHISPERS" had to be activated within my configuration from the Vanilla settings page under the "options" header ("application settings")
However, the subscribe own feature enabled from the "notification" section of the account.php page (Notify me, when comments are posted in my own discussions), which sends an email to the original poster when the discussion they started receives comments, is still not functioning in my configuration.
The check box(Notify me, when comments are posted in my own discussions) on Vanilla's account.php ("notification" section) inputs the information into the SubscribeOwn field of the User table in the database, however, Notify's extension default.php does not seem to be properly calling, checking and integrating the LUM_User table, SubscribeOwn field when initiating the sending of the emails.
Seemingly, the emails are being sent BASED ONLY on the information contained within the LUM_Notify table on the database and NOT ALSO BASED on the information within the SubscribeOwn field within the LUM_User table on the databse. So it appears that when subscribing to the entire forum, specific categories or specific discussions via the panel links or notification section of account.php, that information is inputted into the LUM_Notify table and WORKS because that table information is included when checking to send emails but the (Notify me, when comments are posted in my own discussions) data is inputted into the LUM_User table which appears does NOT WORK because the informaton in that field on that table is not included in the information that is checked and emailed to the appropriate users.
This modification adds a basic call to the User table to get the information needed to email the original author of comments - since, as I stated above, the information stored to identify and email users in situations where comments have been added to their own discussions is not stored in the Notify table, along with the rest of the subscribe/unsubscribe data, but instead is stored in the User table SubscribeOwn field of the Vanilla database.
So far, through brief testing, adding this code has not caused repeat emails to be sent over the same comment in cases where the user who is emailed is subscribed to the entire forum, same cateogry, as well as has "Notify me, when comments are posted in my own discussions" set to receive comments added to their discussion.
Navigating to the Vanilla "conf" folder and adding this line to the settings.php near the other Notify extension info:
$Configuration['NOTIFY_ALLOW_SUBSCRIBEOWN'] = '1';Then complimented by navigating to Vanilla's extensions folder to the Notify folder, and adding the following code to the defualt.php within the Notify folder - about line248:
if ($DiscussionForm->Context->Configuration['NOTIFY_ALLOW_SUBSCRIBEOWN'] == 1) { $result = mysql_query("SELECT A.UserID,A.Email,A.FirstName,A.LastName,A.SubscribeOwn,B.AuthUserID, B.DiscussionID FROM ".$DiscussionForm->Context->Configuration['DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX']."User AS A, ".$DiscussionForm->Context->Configuration['DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX']."Discussion AS B WHERE B.DiscussionID = '$DiscussionID' AND B.AuthUserID <> '$SelfUser' AND A.UserID <> '$SelfUser' AND B.AuthUserID = A.UserID AND A.Notified = 0 AND A.SubscribeOwn = 1",$DiscussionForm->Context->Database->Connection); while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) if (($Whispered == 1 AND $WhisperUserID == $row[0]) OR ($Whispered == 0)) array_push($Notifieusers,array($row[0],$row[1],$row[2],$row[3])); }*** the above code should end just above the following line that is included by default: #Add all users who have subscribed to all, aren't already notified except the posting user
Hopefully the above modifications will help make this extension more useful and consistent at least temporarily until the next, more stable version is finished.
In my configuration, I also changed the following line to bypass the 1 email sent limit. As this limitation seems to have been implemented to prevent repeat emails but it appeared that only 1 email would be sent no matter how many comments were posted in different categories (ie users only received emails one time regarding one discussion in one category and never received any other emails informing them about comments posted in other discussions to which they were contributing. Alternately you can very likely just eliminate that mysql_query if you want your users to receive emails everytime a comment is posted to the discussions to which they are subscribing.
Approximately line:313:
(Was) mysql_query("UPDATE ".$DiscussionForm->Context->Configuration['DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX']."User SET Notified = 1 WHERE UserID = '$val[0]'");
(Changed - Notified = 1 to Notified = 0)
mysql_query("UPDATE ".$DiscussionForm->Context->Configuration['DATABASE_TABLE_PREFIX']."User SET Notified = 0 WHERE UserID = '$val[0]'");If it helps.
However, I have subscribed to the entire forum, not just specific discussions so you may be right about this aspect.
I really wish this add-on would work well, busy people rely on it, they cannot visit every day in case something has been added.
