Miscellaneous Hacks - Instant New Thread Notification

= New Thread Notification =

Description

Very simple, it adds instant email notification for forums. If you are subscribed to a forum using instant email notification, whenever a new thread is posted you will be sent an email containing the details and the thread text.


Options: (AdminCP > vBulletin Options > New Thread Notification)

Enable new thread notifications?
Choose Yes to enable instant email notification for new threads.

Allow new thread notification for Usergroups:
Enter the IDs of the usergroups you want to allow to subscribe to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3)

If you only want to exclude usergroups instead of including them, leave this blank to allow everyone to subscribe to instant new thread notifications except those listed below.

Do NOT allow new thread notification for Usergroups:
Enter the IDs of the usergroups you want to exclude from subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3) Leave blank to not exclude usergroups.

Allow new thread notification for Forums:
Enter the IDs of the forums you want to allow subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3)

If you only want to exclude forums instead of including them, leave this blank to allow instant new thread notifications in every forum except those listed below.

Do NOT allow new thread notification for Forums:
Enter the IDs of the forums you want to exclude from subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3) Leave blank to not exclude forums.

Use mailqueue?
Choose Yes for new thread notifications to use mailqueueing as per your settings (Recommended for all except very low traffic forums). Choosing No will bypass mailqueueing and send all emails instantly.


Installation Instructions:
1. Go to AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product.
2. Upload the new_thread_subscription_xxx.xml file.
Done!

To subscribe to new thread notifications just subscribe to a forum as normal. The new option has been added to the list.

Does this work with 3.6.8?

Thanks

Is there a way to detect if a user is subscribed to the forum they are viewing? I don't want to display a large, bold SUBSCRIBE TO THIS FORUM' link if they are already subscribed. I would also lke access to which forums they are subscribed to, so I can have a 'Forum subscription management' page. Would these features be possible?
Other than that, nice mod, thanks!

can I choose default value for new users.
I mean subscribe them to the forums or not by default...

I am having a problem with this plugin (which I like a lot BTW). There is one forum that I DON'T want a email notification for (a industry news feed). I have gone to the options and included the ID for this forum on the "DO NOT allow new thread notifications for Forums" and yet I still get a email notification everytime there is a news post added. Has anybody else experienced this? Am I missing something?

Does someone have to go in and actually subscribe to each forum within a category for this to work?

For example, I have a category that contains roughly 40 forums. Can a user subscribe to the category so they are notified of any new thread made in any forum under it?

We have installed this plugin however whenever someone makes a post with vbCode or HTML included in their post, the raw code is displaying in the email body of the notification. Anyone know how to fix this?
