update:

the bug still exists, but there is a workaround until this bug is fixed:

In ACP/vboptions/newtheradnotification/

There is another field for entering usergroups, which shall be excluded from this feature:

If you leave the first field of my last posting empty and only enter here the UG that shall not get this feature, it suddenly works.

But still this bug should be fixed.

Any word on fixing this mod so that it properly respects users that are being Moderated so that it doesn't immediately email out new threads started by a Moderated user?

Thanks.

Hello I have used this mod for about a year and all works well, except for now it seems to send a notification only for certain forums and intermittently. I have checked all my settings and all seems to be in place. I have not upgraded VB and still use: VB version: 3.6.7 PL1.

I use this internally in my company and until yesterday it never game me any issues. Any advice on how I can get the Add-in to work like before? Should I be looking for something specific in order to determine any problems? Should I uninstall then reinstall it? It?s been sitting on the same server and nothing has changed on that end either. Thanks in advance for any assistance. :confused:

Does this plugin works with vb 3.8?

Yes

I just installed it on 3.8, and it seems to be working fine. I haven't tested every aspect of it, yet.

VB8 has social group notifications, will this be available for that feature?

This doesn't work for me using 3.7.3 :(

I recently upgraded my vB install from 3.6 to 3.8.2, and now this plug-in is no longer sending any instant notifications. I still get notifications as the forum "email addrss to notify", so email services are working. I have no restrictions by usergroup or by forum. And I have said "No" to mail queue (we have a low volume forum and I had thought it might be a queue issue). I'm not sure where to look for a solution. My users really liked the instant email notification. Any suggestions?

Couple questions.

1. Does this mod work on 3.8.3.

2. Is there a way to make it notify for ALL posts in a thread, not just the first post on each new thread?

I dunno about 383; it should. One way to find out. But once a thread is created, vbulletin already lets you subscribe to it.

Works with 3.8 ... thank you very much...needed this. Just dont understand why this isnt in the core system.

3.8.3 - Installed fine.

- Removed my existing notifications.
- Enabled Instant for forums
- Posted new thread as different user
- No notification has come and it's been over 5 minutes.

How can I find out the error / fix this ?

Do you intend to make this compatible with 4.0? This mod really helps me and my business. VB is not making this feature a part of 4.0.

This mod was working great for a while. Today, however, I noticed that Forums no longer are offering the "Instant notification by email" option when Subscribing. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the NTN mod. Nothing changes.

How can I verify the plug-in code is actually loading into the base code?

This is vBulletin 3.6.5, and NTN version 1.02.

need this for vB 4.01 please

I dunno why this wouldn't work in vb401. Are you saying you tried it and it doesn't?

correct, does not show up in the subscribe thread pull down.

Worked great till I updated it to 4.01.

Why is this not yet a standard feature in vB.

It's beyond me why they don't just incorporate virtually every mod that has more than 10 installs. Clearly people need them. And in most cases all the work has already been done for them.

Anyway, if payment is required to bring this up to vb4, I'm in. It looks like the original author hasn't been around in ages so if you want to offer $20 or so over in paid requests I'll cover half (in other words, I'm good for $10 USD).

Yeah, critical for us in 4.0 as well -- willing to pay. Inquire via PM :)

+1 need

:up::up::up::up:

I need this too.

And I agree ... why not just incorporate this ability into vBulletin.

Seems like when I ask about this on the .com site, the answer is it could potentially "overwhelm" the e-mail output.

However, I have members (including myself) that want to get e-mail notifications on ALL new threads.

If anyone here has a solution ... please let me (us) know.

Thanks!

any word on this ...?

Since 5 days ago? Some of us have been waiting for months. The author hasn't been on in a year.

Have you suggested this over at vb.com? Let us know and we'll bump it.

Here's my request I posted on vb.com:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...t-just-threads)

What should be in that pulldown menu if it were there ? Whats the exect text ?

Is it "SUBSCRIBE TO THIS FORUM" ?

IDEALLY ... when you click on the "Subscribe to Forum" link on the Main Forum Page/List ... where it takes you to a "drop-down" selection ... it currently allows for the following:

• Through my control panel only
• Daily updates by email
• Weekly updates by email

It should also have this:

• Instant email notification

Unfortunately don't have the last one. :(

unfortunately ... no one has that last one ... and it's like "pulling teeth" to get the developers over at vBulletin (which by the way we all essentially pay for) ... to add this function!

Hi guys. I edited this and got it working in vb4. we have been using for a couple months now and seems to work great. 90% of it is still RedTyger's code, so I'm not sure it warrants adding as a new add-on. He didn't reply to my attempt to contact him. Send me an email or pm and I'll send it too you.

This is GREAT !!! Just tried it and it works ... Thanks!

Is there any way I could subscribe specific members to forums (in order to save them the trouble) ...?

Hi vilhiem,

You could run an update on the database table that stores this info... but I think a better idea would be to send out an email blast to your members and let them know that it is a new feature and how to do it.

Hi Bernie,

I have noticed a problem with this mod:

In the notification e-mail that is sent, it incorrectly states that the original author of the thread is the one that posted the latest reply ... instead of the actual replying author.

Also, I "re-posted" this mod in the vB4 Mods Category so others could find it and use it easier, especially with all the hard work you put into it. And of course, I state right up front that you are the author. If that's a problem, let me know and I will take it down. Just trying to help.

Here's the link:

Thanks again!

I can fix that. I sopose it would make more sense if I reposted the mod. It may even be against the rules as most of the code isn't mine and I can't get ahold of redtyger.

If you can fix that ... Cool ... Thanks!!!!

Also, let me know when the new post is up and I will take down the one I put up there.
(I just want to make sure this is up there as it is a frustrating problem the vBulletin developers never resolved and took me a while to find this one).

Kind Regards,
Vilhiem

Ok, its up

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=243470

I am unable to post the updated version of this mod. I would need to get ahold of redtyger to get his permission. I can't seem to get ahold of him. If anyone can find him and get his permission to re post an updated version of his mod I would be happy to put it up.

Thanks,

That's too bad Bernie ... that the "powers that be" here at vB.org forced you to remove a perfectly working solution!!!

I'm glad I got it from you before they took it down.

Perhaps you could just post it as an 'attachment' as you did before.

Thanks!!!
