    Hi guys!, I'd like to remove the "Suscribe to Forum" and maybe even "Suscribe to category" options, since I think it maybe too much overhead and mails going out from the server.
    Which is the best way to approach to this?

    Thanks!

    thanks.

    Updated and works like charm.

    I found another bug (depends on users). I have noticed that, notifications are also sent if users edit their post. This morning, a notification was sent 4 times because user made 3 edits after adding it.

    Users were all over me asking why they are getting repetitive emails. I then compared the emails (forwarded by them) and found the edits. Users gave few suggestions:

    - Do not send notification on edit; just new discussion and new comment
    - Make a user option (OFF by default) to get UPDATE notifications in case of edit

    In any case, I am not sure how we can check if this is an EDIT or new discussion/comment. Any idea how that can be detected? May be the easy option is to turn it off at the moment.

    Thanks again for responding and providing the fix so quickly. Much appreciated

    To garysmith:
    Thanks for the feedback mate, I'm glad it's working now :)

    To chitoso:
    Thanks for reminding me, I need to make a UI for this. But for now it will work if you download your conf/settings.php file (important: make sure you are editing the version from the server, it is a file that has changed since you installed Vanilla and you need the current version or you will lose settings) and you will see these three lines:
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_ALL'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_DISCUSSION'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_CATEGORY'] = '1';
    Change the 0s to 1s where applicable. So if you change "ALL" to 0, it removes the ability to subscribe to the whole forum, and "CATEGORY" the ability to subscribe to whole categories. So you want it to look like this:
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_ALL'] = '0';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_DISCUSSION'] = '1';
    $Configuration['NOTIFI_ALLOW_CATEGORY'] = '0';
    Sorry for the messy way of doing it.

    To iamspammer:
    Yes that is a good point, it isn't a bug but it is something to think about. I will have a think and a look at the code and get back to you on that one mate.

    That extension looks cool but I didn't use it this time, instead I just copied code from another extension and modified it, always works like a charm ;) Maybe I will try SetList in the future.

    To iamspammer:
    It no longer sends emails for edits, just new posts as requested. Good idea.

    To chitoso:
    With version 1.7 you can change those settings with checkboxes instead of editing the code ;) Sorry for the inconvenience, I really don't know how I forgot to do that before now :)

    Happy to help mate :)
    Now my main priorities with this extension are to make it faster loading and compatible with Low-Cal Vanilla. I started looking closely at Low-Cal Vanilla today and I will keep doing so to find out what's getting mucked up. I've also emailed the author of that extension in the hopes that 2 heads will be better than 1 :)

    I'm not quite sure. After the updating with the latest default.php file, it seemed to work. Later on I got the message again so I disabled the extension. Then I enabled it again and it seemed to be OK for a while but it then gave the same error again when posting comments in threads. I don't know how to reproduce it. I don't know if it is sensitive to server time outs perhaps? But I don't have any issues with email from my main Wordpress blog anyway.
    It's in http://palmdoc.net/forum if you want to check it out
    At the moment I enabled the extension but I am getting the error

    Well instead of taking a lot of space up on this discussion why don't you email me, my email address is in Notifi/default.php. I signed up at your forum but it appears you disabled Notifi again so I can't test it. Anyway I'll wait for your email.

    Many thanks for the work done on Notifi. Version 1.7.3 is working very well for me.
    Would it be possible to configure it to just post the first e-mail of each discussion? This would enable people to go to the forum on the web if they were interested in the topic and would not block up everyone's e-mail too much with the answers. I am working with a group who are used to an e-mail forum and getting them to accept Vanilla has been an uphill struggle. Our old forum (MailMan) works by e-mailing the question and the answers are sent only to the person who asked the question. This person then has the task of summarising all the answers and sending the summary to the forum. If we could use Vanilla in this way the summary would be redundant.

    A few ideas and wishes if you're doing a rewrite:

    1. Shift focus from notification only when there is something new to subscribing by e-mail (but with the option to only get a notification when there is something new if the user so wishes).
    2. Send the mail with the correct headers, so it's sent as a reply to the actual thread - thus allowing for threaded e-mail notification.
    3. Send the e-mail with the from-address not as the system normal, but as the user who wrote the posts (if that e-mail is public).

    Would also love to see a different type of mail for editing comments, moving threads etc.

    Love the extension!

    Best,
    Daniel

    I seem to running into an error. Whenever I add a new comment to a discussion, with Notifi activated, I get the error below. I ran into a similar error with other emails that Vanilla sent (such as lost password), but I added 'date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London');' to the /library/Framework/Framework.Class.Email.php file and it fixed it. I tried a similar approach with Notifi's Framework.Class.Email.php but it didn't fix the issue. Any ideas?

    The error occurred on or near: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Denver' for 'MDT/-6.0/DST' instead

    Are you using Notifi 1.7.3 and Vanilla 1.1.5a, or are you using older versions? The reason I ask is that if you use the latest version of both, the Framework.Class.Email.php file in the Notifi folder will be skipped, it isn't needed anymore with Vanilla 1.1.5+.

    Hmmm...
    Well let's do an experiment.
    Open extensions/Notifi/default.php and find lines 273 to 279, they should be this: // Include the custom email class
    if (!isset($Configuration['DEFAULT_EMAIL_MIME_TYPE'])) {
    include_once('_includes/Framework.Class.Email.php');
    }
    else {
    $Configuration['DEFAULT_EMAIL_MIME_TYPE'] = 'text/html';
    }    Replace them with just this: $Configuration['DEFAULT_EMAIL_MIME_TYPE'] = 'text/html';and tell me what happens, and if it does work, if the emails look normal or like a bunch of code.

    I have Vanilla 1.1.5a install with Notifi 1.7.3, and Notifi doesn't seem to be working at all.

    Here's the PHP warnings from the apache error log:

    tekhammer's issue was fixed, was just an oversight on his end.

    Still working on tate's problem, hopefully we can fix that soon.

    reedloden, yes declaring the array was overlooked in the last release. It has been in the code for a while but I had been waiting to do some more things before releasing another version. I guess it causes problems on some PHP installs though so I will release the update.
    As for the KeepEmailing column, yes the logic in the installer is all screwed up. It has always been a problem and I need to fix it. It's hard because the original author of the extension Notify, which Notifi is based on, used this bad method of installing and upgrading (no offense to him, I am sure he is a good programmer, we all make bad judgements) so it is hard for me to keep upgradeability from old versions while fixing the installation code. I tried once with version 1.5 and it broke the extension haha, so I need to take the time to really fix it fully.
    So, I will release a bugfix now that fixes some PHP errors and warnings and the installer problems (hopefully). The new features are still coming, but of course bugfixes are more important :)
    I will be watching this discussion closely to catch any bugs caused by the installer changes. It should be ok though.

    Can this extension be setup so that Notification is on by default for the person who starts the discussion? For example, they get an email as soon as someone replies (the next email should not be sent until after the original poster has replied)

    I had a previous forum setup like this and it was great because it reminds new members to come back and check out the replies they recieved, instead of having them forget that they posted there

    Yes it can, I put that option on the Account tab. In that tab, click Notification on the left, then check "Automatically subscribe me to discussions I have started". It should be selected by default.
