Subscribed threads in notifications

[MoMan]

This is a re-release of my subscribed threads mod for vb 3.8: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=250461 It has been reported to work on vB 4.x.

What does it do?

It adds a notification whenever any of your subscribed threads are updated (i.e. they contain unread posts). These notifications make it much easier for users to find what's new on the forum.

It uses the same code as the native vbulletin thread marking system, and supports cookie-based marking as well as database marking.

How do I install?

Upload the attached product file via the admin control panel.

------------------

Enjoy!

Will try this out! Thanks :)

Edit:
Is it possible to make an option so that members can choose (in usercp) if they want to receive these notifications?

Yes it is- in fact, I have such an option on my site. Just add a new profile field (preferebly a checkbox labeled as "disable notifications") via your admin cp, and then change one line in the plugin:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0)

{

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0 AND !$vbulletin->userinfo['fieldX'])

{

where X is the number of the custom profile field you just added.

Great mod, thanks a lot.
Please let me know why that 'New Subscribed Threads' phrase doesn't appear here ?

Thanks for the fast reply :)

Does this disable all notifications?
I don't want my users to be able to disable all notifications.

For instance I use this mod:
FractalizeR: Show items, awaiting moderation in notifications area (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=241301)

[BlueCheri]

Very good mod.

Thanx

No, just this one.

Not currently a feature of this plugin. I don't think very many users would need that.

Great mod, thanks a lot.

That's weird- check in your phrase manager if the phrase new_subscribed_threads is there, and if not, add it as a global phrase.

Also try changing $vbphrase[new_subscribed_threads] to $vbphrase['new_subscribed_threads'] in the plugin itself, as the former is technically incorrect (I've now fixed this in the xml file).

Thanks for your reply, the phrase is there and changing $vbphrase[new_subscribed_threads] to $vbphrase['new_subscribed_threads'] doesn't fix the issue.

[MoMan]

Try putting global $vbphrase; in the plugin file, or just hard-code the text if you want it to "just work".

Before installing I would like to know if this is compatible with TW7S - Notifications Alert?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232032

Please respond.

[MoMan]

It should be, since it hooks into the native vb notification system.

[Sforums]

Works great, thank you!

[egysc]

is it possible to show the updated thread names in the notification menu ? as it would be greater !
Thanks in advance

[MoMan]

If you wanted that, I'd recommend setting up some sort of ajax-powered notification interface so that members can view the threads without having to refresh.

[egysc]

And How can i do that?

[MoMan]

You'd have to write a few JS functions to fetch the thread names, and then trigger an event when users open their notification menu. It would be a fairly involved project, but definitely a nice idea!

[egysc]

Thanks alot .

[LoudBox]

Cool plugin. Could you make subscribed BLOGS appear inside the notification system too? This way everyone someone posts a new entry inside his blog, you get a notification?

[PaulAxure]

I might be missing the feature, but does it giver notifications for subscribed forums (not just threads you started or replied to) ? Thanks for your work on this.

No notifications for forum subscriptions, but normally it would be just as obvious to look at the icons on forumhome :)

I could extend this to blogs but vb declined to supply a copy of vb blogs for 3.x, and as such I don't have a full development environment :( (I still use vb3)

[Kat-2]

Installed. I like this mod!:)

[MoMan]

Great to hear :)

The notifications appear but never go away, once you close forums and come back they re-appear. Any ideas as to why?

Nice mod, but why is it not possible to show subscribed forums?
I have many subforums.

[MattGarner]

Would be nice if this worked for subscribed forums and not just threads.

Yes same condition , Please update this mod for work on 4.1.10.

[FakeMessiah666]

I installed the plugin but the settings for it aren't showing up in AdminCP -> Settings -> Options or in the sidebars underneath it. I am running vBulletin 4.2.1.

Not sure why your having this problem, try clearing the System Cache and running the Repair / Optimize Tables, i had a problem of notifications not showing for me, doing the above fixed this. It was on a test/dev install so maybe some cron's just needed to run as the dev server is priv so no activity.

I installed the plugin but the settings for it aren't showing up in AdminCP -> Settings -> Options or in the sidebars underneath it. I am running vBulletin 4.2.1.

I've had a look at the code for this and i cant see any admin options, so i think you just install and forget :).

Tested as working on: 4.2.0 PL3 & 4.2.1.

Thanks Adam if you ever read this !

There is a bug/conflict with this, it uses/adds a phrase called "new_subscribed_threads", however there is a default vB phrase with the same name, as such visting any of the User Tools (UserCP) pages means that the default vB phrase is used in the notification list and not the custom phrase this mod introduces.

Also the URL for the notification this produces, has "&daysprune=-1" in it, from what i can see this doesn't actually do anything any more.

Not a major problems as the mod still works but just a heads up.
