This doesn't seem to work for vbulletin 4.1 CMS. It installs fine, but nothing shows up in the forum subscribe drop down.:confused:
|
Is there a way to target specific (sub)forums only?
I'm not a coder (far from it), but it seems to me that a statement like PHP Code:
|
I miss not being able to in/exclude forums with the vb4 version. But this version has the ability to do both so as long as the subforums have forum IDs it should work fine. Sorry I don't remember if they do or not.
|
subforums have ID's, I already new that, my bad :)
But I still need to be subscribed to the specific forum, installing the product just isn't enough. I would also like it mandatory for all users, but no clue how to make that happen. do you? |
You could probably do it with some sql query. But it's a Really Bad Idea. What you're proposing is sending out unsolicited spam. If you're lucky, the recipient might follow the link to unsubscribe. But they're just as likely to mark it as Spam and you'll end up on blacklists. It's a lot easier to get on those lists than to get off!

No it's not.
Since my forum is a closed forum on which only members of the same club are active and they all want to know about the events they can attend. That's what I want to use it for, when an event is posted in the calender a new thread is created automatically. I feel that it's good for the overall event attendence when members will get an automated email notifiing them of the event. So that even members who are not active on the forum will be notified of the event. ANyway, got an idea how to do this without the query? The forum isn't running jet, so I perhaps it's not neccesary to do it in the sql. But we can fix it in the forum registration process. |
Oh, I don't think that works anyway. Something to do with the way vb is coded - only real-people posts get notification. At least it wasn't working the last time I checked. [edit: It might work for you in vb3, I forgot this is the vb3 version.]
The whole web is designed to be "opt-in" these days. None of those inactive members are going to thank you for sending them unsolicited emails. Even if their email addys are still any good. |
Well, it's a forum for our diving club. So all the email adresses are correct and current. They aren't inactive in the club, just on the web. Luckily everyone has an email adress and they all want to stay informed..
Anyway, you are right, it doesn't work if a bot posts a new thread. But right now it doesn't work either if a member does that. I have to figure that out first. |
I've been using this mod for a while now without any problems. After setting up some forms for input using the Easy Forms mod, the New Thread Subscription alerts are no longer sending with new threads via the Easy Form thread posting method.
Has anyone else seen this? I've adjusted some of the various execution orders for both mods without success. Any help still around for this mod? |
Any update for work on 4.1.10?
