I'm sure there's a way to this...
I want the an email notification sent to the Author of a topic (or anyone subscribing to the topic) everytime a replys is being posted...
How can I do that?
I already enabled "Require Registration" in the Main Forum Configuration but that doesn't do it... |

| Not sure..I see in the admin configurations where you can have an auto-email generated when a moderator / admin moves a topic, but I dont see any settings or mods at snitzbitz to email a topic author everytime a reply is received. Are you sure you want that feature? Depending on the topic the member might be getting a ton of these 'response' messages and not be happy about them filling his mailbox? |

Well, the reason I'm asking is that I've seen it on other forums, where there's a checkmark you can select that basically says "Subscribe to this Topic" and an email is sent to that member everytime there's a reply...
You can always uncheck it when you want to stop receiving for that specific topic (Macromedia.com has a great example for this...)
Anyway, more than anything, I would like the Moderator of the forum to be notified when there's a new topic, so he doesn't have to be on the forum al lthe time.... |

Require registration means that people have to register before gaining access to the forum. It doesn't have anything to do with subscriptions.
You should enable subscriptions in the admin area under "Feature Config". Then go to your main forum page. Edit a Category (by clicking the pencil icon to the right) and set the highest level of subscriptions allowed for that category. Then edit a forum (by clicking the pencil icon to the right) and set the highest level of subscriptions allowed for that forum.
From memory, I think the topic author will have to choose to receive email notifications when they post if they are not subscribed to email notifications for the whole board. |

Sending email notification to authors of a reply. V 3.4
I'm wanting to do something similar. When a reply is made to a topic, I would like the author of that reply to receive notification that the reply was made. I've tried modifying inc_subscription.asp as follows:
lines 120 - 125 were changed from this:
' -- The author nor the Moderator need to get notification on this topic....
strSql = strSql & " WHERE S.MEMBER_ID <> " & pMemberID & _
" AND S.MEMBER_ID <> " & ThisMemberID & _
" AND M.MEMBER_ID = S.MEMBER_ID" & _
" AND M.M_STATUS <> 0" & _
" AND (S.TOPIC_ID = " & TopicId ' Topic specific subscriptions...
to this:
strSql = strSql & " WHERE 0=0 " & _
" AND M.MEMBER_ID = S.MEMBER_ID" & _
" AND M.M_STATUS <> 0" & _
" AND (S.TOPIC_ID = " & TopicId ' Topic specific subscriptions...
' " AND S.MEMBER_ID <> " & ThisMemberID & _
' " AND S.MEMBER_ID <> " & pMemberID & _

I have already told you not to post your question more than once, that also applies to hijacking other peoples topics. |
