Instant Thread Notification for Subscribed Forums

Purpose:
This plugin allows your members to select "Instant Email Notification" when they are subscribing to a forum, instead of just the default Daily/Weekly Digests. When a new thread is posted in a subscribed forum, all subscribed users are instantly sent an email alerting them.

New Templates: 0
Template Changes: 1

Installation Instructions:

Step 1 (Template Change):
Find the following in the "subscribe_choosetype" template (located under "Subscribed Thread Templates" in the template manager):

Quote:

<if condition="$show['subscribetothread']">
<option value="1" $emailselected[1]>$vbphrase[instant_notification_by_email]</option>
</if>

Replace with:

Quote:

<option value="1" $emailselected[1]>$vbphrase[instant_notification_by_email]</option>

(Just remove the if statement)

Step 2 (install product):
Import the product-instantnotif.xml file into your Product Manager.

Enjoy! - It's installed!

Any users who were already subscribed to a forum will need to re-subscribe in order to select this new option.

You can change the email subject & body by editing the "foruminstantnotify" phrases located under the "Email Body Text" & "Email Subject Text" phrase types.

It's awesome. Thanks.

This really is the ideal plugin for anyone trying to migrate people from a list server to a forum.

Best

I'm using this mod but would also love to have a way to subscribe to a parent forum and it automatically add subscriptions to all child forums. Is there anything out there already built?

Has anyone modified this plugin so as to email subscribers with new posts to the thread as well, rather than only emailing concerning new threads?

Will this work for just one forum and not for all of them. I'm trying to get people moved over from a yahoo listserv and this would work by having them subscribe to just one forum and not all the forums.

thanks

Mike

yes. when a user subscribes to a forum, this is a new option for that one forum.

Can you enable its use for only one forum? I have too much traffic to allow users to do this for all the forums.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
