does it works also for childforum?

No, it subscribes to exactly the forums you list. It might be possible to allow child forums as an option somehow, but then if you were to add a child forum later it wouldn't automatically be subscribed, so I thought that might be more confusing.

Adding the child forum would be helpful. I would be happy using this function even if I had to re-run it somehow to capture new(er) child forums not present when it was initially set up.

I'll consider it for a future release.

Hi kh99 -

While you're thinking about future releases, would you consider linking this with secondary usergroups, so when a user joins a usergroup, either by him/herself, or by an admin, they are then automatically subscribed to forums that the admin has associated with that usergroup?

For example, in a car forum, if a user adds himself to the group "Buicks", then he would automatically be subscribed to the GM forum, since the admin had made that group/forum connection using your mod.

First, thank you for this mod and php script. It worked well for my community.

Is there a script that can be used to unsubscribe everyone from a single forum or multiple forums?

Thanks!

You can do a one-time unsubscribing from one or more forums by executing an sql query like:


You'd change (1, 2, 3) to the list you want to unsubscribe users from. Also, if you have a table prefix you'd have to add it before subscribeforum.

As always, be very careful when you modify the database. It would be wise to make sure you have a recent backup before you do anything.

Thanks. Worked perfectly.

Hi - I have tried implementing this mod - everything seems to have gone OK - I selected the form ID, Selected daily digest and then added a new user - I logged in as them and checked the forum - but it wasn't subscribed - Have people found that this works with VBulliten 4.2 - or can anyone think of anything I have missed.

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

I have to admit I've been lax in testing this when new versions of vb were released, [S]and in fact it seems like it doesn't work with vb4.2.0. I'll look in to it and release an update as soon as I figure it out.[/S]

I spoke too soon - it does seem to work with vb4.2.0.

When you say you added a user, did you go through registration or the adminCP? This mod will only work if you go through the registration page, and if you have "Verify Email address in Registration" set to yes, then the user won't be subscribed until they click on the verification link.
