HOW-TO Check if user is subscribed to thread?

[blind-eddie]

You do not need to edit anything to get it to work on Forum Display, there is an image ( ) that shows if you are subscribed on the Forum Display pages .... but that's just for you, not all members.

I know, lol I was just messing with you.
In fact, I did not realize it was an old thread until your post, I thought I posted 3.8 info in a 4.0 forum.. again. I then re-read the thread.

Hmmmm I cant see it. Im modifying a style but anyway, was having a look at the default style and I dont see the icon. Can you post a screenshoot please. Here is mine.



And here is what I'm trying to do:

Check your usergroup permissions and see if you are able to subscribe to threads, when you do subscribe to any thread in 3.8, you will see the image to the far right of the thread name on forum display.

Your second SS shows the check mark for subscribed threads.

Yeah, on my SS I have the check mark (manually added) on template forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, and shows the check mark. But when I click it it redirects me to subscription folder (I add the forum to the subscription list), but the check marks are still there.

After I subscribe to a forum, there is supposed to change to "X" (unsubscribe from this forum), instead it still show the valid checkmark.

Here is my forumhome_forumbit_level1_post code:

<if condition="$show['subscribed_to_forum']">
<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow" title="Unsubscribe to $forum[title]" rel="nofollow">X</a>

<else />

<a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addsubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow" title="Subscribe to $forum[title]">✓</a></if>

I have found that using the code posted in post # 2 & 4 will cause the OP to become a guest.
It happened to me & threw up database errors when a member is switched to a guest if the have post/threads in some admin forums.
I removed it from my test site.
