I'd be willing to contribute as well :D
We moved from Yahoo! groups as well and the only nit-pik my users have is the fact they don't get an email of their own posts even to subscribed threads. They originally missed the 'ease' of posting by email as well but they got over it :wink:

Hi,

What I would like is to auto subscribe registered users and above to every forum without them having to do anything so they will always hear about all posts.

Is that possible with this?

I'd like the same, as an option is that's possible. Asking each user to go in and manually subscribe to each is asking too much. I'd like to auto subscribe them by default!

Hmm I should have read through this whole thread before sending you a PM :)

I actualy have a working alpha script that interacts with the forums just like yahoo groups.

The email posts look like crap, and I'm currently working on the preg matches to clean that up. But I'm in the alpha already.

Perhaps we should get together and see what we can come up with?

I've got the email catch working, cron job runs every 10 minutes.

For forums that are enabled for the email integration and that a user has subscribed to when a new thread or new post is posted from the forums, an email is sent.

From email, a user can post a new thread, or replies to one of the emails they receive.

When the cron runs every 10 minutes, it'll grab those emails post them, and email the user the post just as if it had been posted from the forum.

Completely interacting just like yahoogroups :D :D

Just gotta clean up the install and stuff so a noob can install it, and clean up the emails a TON. Damn line breaks are driving me nutz on that :)

Our forum also would greatly benefit if the Admin could simply take a list of current users and

1. switch their current forum subscriptions to Instant Email. (we've installed the mod, and it works well.)

2. easily subcribe current users to all (or some, as dictated by the Admin) forums to receive Instant Email Notification

3 And if there was a way for new users to automatically be defaulted to Instant Email Notification for all (or some, as dictated by the Admin) forums.

Has anyone fully, or partly, solved these yet?

Thanks.

Ok so what you want is essentially for every member to receive instant email subscriptions for everything, new threads and new posts?

No guarantees as I to have a few things on my plate to take care of after being out of town for 10 days :)

I just need to package it up and make sure I have all the steps in the install instructions correct. :)

I can't sell the mod as the skeleton came from Colin F's code which he asked I release it for free here, and it also incorporates Red Tygers code in a small part of the mod.

But contributions will be appreciated once I get the beta released :)

Any idea when the new Yahoo group mailing list mod will be ready?

Once I have those done I'll send out a beta :) Unfortunately, the code for pre-registering for an event at the end of august is a higher priority then finishing the mailing list mod :(, but it shouldn't be much more then another week.
