    Hello, the current available version of this plugin (somehow) works on my Vanilla installation. Now I'm wondering if users can automatically be subscribed to a certain category when they're approved. Can anyone help me on this? If this needs to be hard coded, the category ID is '1'.

    Thanks! :)

    @cavery:

    I'm afraid I won't be able to be of much help (I'm a PHP newbie). I visited the URL you posted and it gave this 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/cavery/christopheravery/forum/extensions/Notify/default.php on line 224

    Are you sure you are using the latest revision of the add-on? The referenced line in the default.php file in my installation reads:

    $SubscribeOwnStatus = CheckSubscribeOwn(&$this->Context);

    There was also another discussion about it where Hutstein and myself were whispering back and forth doing some beta testing on a new version. I can't seem to find it, however the beta testing was "getting there" but there were still some functionality that needed to be fixed (such as the sending of the email). Visually, the new version looks awesome, but its still not functioning correctly. Its probably been a month since I've heard from him on it.

    So here we go again... It took very very long, but finally I got it. I hope it works for everyone...
    the Notification Control in the settings panel is still missing, but you can allow/disallow the subscribtions directly in the conf/settings.php with the following items:

    $Configuration['NOTIFY_ALLOW_ALL'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFY_ALLOW_DISCUSSION'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFY_ALLOW_CATEGORY'] = '1';

    Also, the notification setting is made available, however it doesn't seem to work very well. Not yet, at least.

    However these settings won't stay on...
    --Notify me, when comments are posted in the complete forum
    --Notify me on new comments in the following categories

    And this setting won't turn off...
    --Notify me, when comments are posted in my own discussions

    ***Later...
    and no emails received either :-(

    ***Later still...
    yup, got an email, spam filter caught it so I missed it

    where is "script.js" because I am also receiving the same issues. No email, I have to refresh the page after subscribing to the forum for it to give me the option to unsubscribe. While in my personal notification settings, I click a box and the little Ajax graphic appears but nothing ever happens. I'll refresh and the setting was never changed.

    The email does get sent though. Is there anyway I can remove the "subscribe/unsubscribe" lines from the sidebar and just make it mandatory that everyone gets the notification on their discussions, or discussions they are participating in (as in personal Whispered discussions?)
  5.  # 66
    There's one small issue with your latest release. You've got two extra line feeds in both your default.php and ajax.php files. It broke the Attachments extension. Took me forever to find that the problem was being caused by Notify.

    Once I removed the line feeds, both extensions started working great!

    Otherwise, your extension works PERFECTLY! Keep up the good work!

    Here is a question. Because I still seem to be having some issues. Should I delete the notify-related columns in the database since the information inside are from the old version? And just start that stuff from scratch? Would that help me?

    It is very easy to get the extension run with Notify, now I won't integrate it directly to the extension, maybe at Notify 1.1...

    just open the extensions/Notify/ajax.php and enter the document root directly to the file

    function SetNotify(Type,ElementID,Value,Elem,Class,NewText)
    {
    var ajax = new Ajax.Request('http://localhost//vanilla/extensions/Notify/ajax.php',
    ...

    the http://localhost/vanilla should locate to your path to vanilla...

    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...")

    Thanks again, hutstein!

    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?

    Well, as admin I decide people are to get notifications so the option is on by default.
    However, what if individuals want the option to unsubscribe?

    OK it's official, setting NOTIFY_AUTO_ALL to 1 pisses people off because they continually get emails every time a message is posted.

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

    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.
