Mini Mods - Subscribed threads in notifications

This is a re-release of my subscribed threads mod for vb 3.8: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=250461 It has been reported to work on vB 4.x.

What does it do?

It adds a notification whenever any of your subscribed threads are updated (i.e. they contain unread posts). These notifications make it much easier for users to find what's new on the forum.

It uses the same code as the native vbulletin thread marking system, and supports cookie-based marking as well as database marking.

How do I install?

Upload the attached product file via the admin control panel.

------------------

Enjoy!

Will try this out! Thanks

Edit:
Is it possible to make an option so that members can choose (in usercp) if they want to receive these notifications?

Yes it is- in fact, I have such an option on my site. Just add a new profile field (preferebly a checkbox labeled as "disable notifications") via your admin cp, and then change one line in the plugin:

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0)

{ 


PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0 AND !$vbulletin->userinfo['fieldX'])

{ 


where X is the number of the custom profile field you just added.

Great mod, thanks a lot.
Please let me know why that 'New Subscribed Threads' phrase doesn't appear here ?



Thank you.

Thanks for the fast reply

Does this disable all notifications?
I don't want my users to be able to disable all notifications.

For instance I use this mod:
FractalizeR: Show items, awaiting moderation in notifications area

Very good mod.

Thanx

No, just this one.

Not currently a feature of this plugin. I don't think very many users would need that.

Great mod, thanks a lot.

That's weird- check in your phrase manager if the phrase new_subscribed_threads is there, and if not, add it as a global phrase.

Also try changing $vbphrase[new_subscribed_threads] to $vbphrase['new_subscribed_threads'] in the plugin itself, as the former is technically incorrect (I've now fixed this in the xml file).

Thanks for your reply, the phrase is there and changing $vbphrase[new_subscribed_threads] to $vbphrase['new_subscribed_threads'] doesn't fix the issue.

Try putting global $vbphrase; in the plugin file, or just hard-code the text if you want it to "just work".
