Email-notification for everybody (Technics)

by Littob, Monday, April 07, 2008, 11:57 (5834 days ago)

Hello,

i want to inform every registered user about new post that was added in my forum. I saw that this feature is currently for admins only.
Is there a way to get this feature for every user?

I really like this forums-system and hope that there is a way to solve my problem.

I am thankful for every hint! :-)

Kind regards!

p.s. sorry for my bad english :-|

Hi,

why not using the rss-feed instead of email-notification?
Most modern browsers support this feature and personally i am glad for any email i don´t receive.

kind regards

I would be glad also, not to recieve so many emails. I would prefer the rss-feed.

But i have to setup the forum for a customer. And he want this special feature.

So once again: is there a way?

Email-notification for everybody

by Josh Hughes ⌂ @, Monday, June 16, 2008, 00:18 (5765 days ago) @ Littob

What I did was edit the users.php file (~ line 686) to remove the
if ($user_type=="admin" || $user_type=="mod")while displaying the checkbox options to notify when there is a new posting or user. Then the users should be able to decide if they want to receive an email whenever there is a new post.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Email-notification for everybody; Caution!

Dear Josh!

I have done essentially the same in my forum (v.1.7.6). You must not delete the condition, but only move it to the second part (where the checkbox about notification of new registration sits). Otherwise any registered user can opt in to receive all new user's e-mail addresses!
