Notify

That's actually a really easy fix. It involves removing the & from the variable name in the function declaration and adding it where the function is called.

OK, I have removed the ampersand from line 224 and the error went away, but which line do I add it to?
Also, the Subscribe to forum link appears to do something then changes to Unsubscribe to forum but it does not stick.

Ouchhh!! Notify and MySQL problems. I'm getting MySQL errors when a non authenticate user try to reach the "search" page and "category" page. Also when everyone tries to reach the sing in page, what it is certainly not good at all. How to solve this. There is any solution? Any help is appreciate it.

My notify extension is now working but I had to post a sticky discussion at the top of my forum to let members know how to be notified. How hard is it to apply a check to that notify box through code? Is it a matter of adding a 'true' or 'false' next to something in the code? I'm going to look into the code and mess around. Wish me luck!

So still no definitive fix for this gadget?

Hi,

I too could use more hand-holding to address the error identified by Wanderer. I'm not a programmer so I don't understand your short-hand Mark wrt "function declaration" and "function is called". Could you give me specific lines of code to find and replace in default.php? I'm handy enough with a text editor to do that.

Excellent forum tool! Thanks!

Thanks,
Christopher

Or just an updated version of the plugin would be super for us web designers who don't know a lick about php and how it works.

Can't get hold of hutstein, maybe someone knows his details?

Hi @all,

sorry for all the troubles with this extension. I hadn't so much time in the past...

I'm working on an updated version! That hopefully appears soon...

Wanderer

Good to have you back mate!

Yeah!

I've added a category selection to the notification control in the account panel, where you can easily un/subscribe every category. There are also all discussions listed that you've subscribed to...

If you have any suggestions... just post it

garvin

Request #1: The ability for an admin to turn off those options or hide them all together. I'd prefer only to allow the viewers to my forum to subscribe to specific discussions, not whole categories or even the forum in general. Mainly because the forum will use this for only works with whispers back and forth between a client and the administrative team (that way, we can set up 3 categories, rather then a category per client). And, how notify worked last time, if they subscribed to the whole category, it would send them a notification whether or not they had access to the message that was most recently updated.

But, I don't want to remove the option all together from ALL categories, since we do use an Announcements-type category that is read-only and email alerts would be nice for that, too. So, maybe admins can choose which categories are "subscribable."

Request #2: I'd like to have the most recent comment inserted into the email. That way, if its something they need to respond to, they can log into the forums and do so. Or, if its just a "status report" or a "thanks" type message, they don't have to log in to read it. Maybe a link back like - "don't reply to this email, reply in this discussion instead: >link<"

garvin

And by "request" I mean "suggestion." Really, I'd just like for it to work : )

Thanks hutstein, is that in the 0.2 update now? And does it fix the problem with the error: "Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any longer. in /usr/www/users/client/forum/extensions/Notify/default.php on line 224"

garvin

@cavery - no. The last time the add-on was updated was in July of last year. He is currently working on the new update.

hutstein

I´d need some "beta" testers that can test the new version for me on a non-productive system. If you have interest. Just send me an private message with your E-Mail and I will send you the files

jeffk

I offered to be a beta tester a couple of weeks ago and never heard back. How's it going? Need any more testers?

garvin

I'm beta testing it right now. I have to test one change, but currently - its not working for me. I'll post again if it works when i apply this latest change.

garvin

It is not working just yet. Close, but we're getting those allow_call_time_pass_reference errors.
