Anders, congrats again.
2. I like being able to send the actual content of the post out with the notification (links are not adequate for offline users on email). I modified my V4 to work like you had it in V2.

Hi Greg,

Would you be willing to send your modified version 4 files to me, so that my Forums will also send the content of the posts with the notification, as in version 2? My email addy is Martha2Mary@hisgrace.org.nz

Many thanks if you are able to do this!

There is a discussion about auto email notification when a topic is moved. When I read the discussion, I realized that my subscription database table is not updated when a topic is moved

1. I get emailed even if I am the author of a post (V2 did not do this so maybe I have introduced a bug)

---

Yes, the author get emailed if he subscribes. I could add an option in the admin interface for switching this off. But I will not release version 5 for some time now, so get back to me if you want a quick fix for stopping email to author.

2. I like being able to send the actual content of the post out with the notification (links are not adequate for offline users on email). I modified my V4 to work like you had it in V2.

---

This information is sent in the email:
1) An intro text that says that the email comes from your forum.
2) Author of the post.
3) URL to the post
4) The post itself.
You only want 4) ?

3. It was a lot tougher to go from V2 to V4 (than from scratch). It would be great if you could find time to mark code that changed between the last rev. So the delta between V4 and V5 next time. I know this is more work, so I do not expect much.

---

Why not use a program like ExamDiff Pro? It will point out the delta, and make it easy upgrading the ASP files.

4. A wish list of additional features:
a. The ability to auto-subscribe the topic author to that topic.
b. report: A mod to the members.asp so when I click on a user I can see what they subscribe to.
c. admin: When I am admin the ability to change the subscriptions for a user (on a forum).
d. admin: A report that lets me see the list of people subscribed to each forum.
e. report: A report on most popular subscriptions to topics.

---

b - e would be nice features. But a? Isn't it better to let the author choose himself?

Greg, thanks for the input. Please report how this mod works on your site, when you have had it going for some time.

Regards,

Hi Greg,

I love this mod !!
I would love to see one more feature like subscribe to All except such and such Forum/Topic. Please do consider this in version 5

Consider it considered

One thing I would like to have changed/implemented would be the use of 2 images instead of the checkbox.... <snip>

---

quote:

I like the idea. Admin configurable of course (choose checkbox v.s. image).

When the user clicks the image, we need to:

1. get some ASP code running in order to update the database


2. change the image

No. 1. can be done by opening a popup, like today.
No. 2. can be done with JavaScript (not done today).

Another more simple solution is to reload default.asp (or forum.asp) when the user clicks the image. Then it is easy getting the ASP code running, as well as replacing the image.

The JavaScript thing would probably be neater than reloading the page. Or maybe not? Greg mentioned in another topic that the popup can be annoying. So maybe reloading the page is not a bad idea after all? Which alternative is least annoying?

---

Well, IMHO, the pop-up idea is fine, as how often do you actually have to subscribe? Also, it will make the code changes much easier. I think the javascript for the image changeover is fine, as long as you find one that is compatible with Netscape. I use 'onclick' image changes on my main website (http://www.hisgrace.org.nz/healing/memorials/guardianangel_ns.htm ~ just click on the Candle), and found the following code to be compatible with both IE and NS:

The actual script:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function flip() {
if (document.images)
document.images['image1'].src = 'image_name_here.gif';
}
//--></script>

HTML code for the actual onclick change:

<a href="javascript:flip()"><img src="image_name_here.gif" border="0" alt="Click here to Subscribe" name="image1"></a>

You probably already know all the above, but thought I'd share it ~ just in case

At the end of the day, do whatever you, as the person writing the code, find easier - reloading the page, or the popup. I'll be more than happy with either.

If some one use forum code or html then html tags are showing up in the mail. can't we remove all the tags before sending or can we send it in mulipart/alternative.

---

You are perfectly right. We should do something about it. I prefer sending the email as plain text, since I use ChiliMail which only supports text.

I need some help here from more experienced Snitz hackers (believe it or not, I'm new in this community). I suppose lots of developers have been working with forum code before? Maybe there are som ready-to-use functions for converting between forum code / html / plain text

Interesting feature.

But how shall it be implemented? I run my forum on a Linux server. I could set up a cron job to be executed daily. This cron job could send out the digest email to the "digest subscribers".

Does anyone have an idea of how to make a platform independent solution?
