TOPIC: Subscribe to forum instead of thread
#14666
Subscribe to forum instead of thread 1 Year, 6 Months ago  
Firstly thanks for letting me in here to post.

There are loads of requests for the subscribe to forum (category) instead of (actually as well as) subscribe to individual threads.

I had a look at the code and the DB structure and I think I could code this. I'm no code monkey but I can probably make something that works.

However it'll neeed to hold data in the DB and that means makign sure whatever I do will be compatible with whatever the dev's might want for the longer term...

Here's my original post on the main board which got lost in the ether of far too many people being a little excited about how good FB is!

OK so I thought I might have a bash at writing the Forum subscribe function (rather than topic subscribe) myself and posting the results here for future use in the code.

Here's where I got to so far:

template/showcat.php (Line 203) - Needs the button to subscribe / unsubscribe - broadly based on he code at template/view.php (Line 298)

template/post.php (Line 219) - Needs to send email to people subscribed to category as well as topic (Note to self - ensure don't email same person twice, ?unique email)

template/post.php (Line 918) - Needs to be adapated to 'do subscribe -> category'

template/userprofile.php (Line 554) - Needs to be adapted to 'do unsubscribe -> category'

That all seems logical... (yeh right!)

So I need to store the subscriptions in a table. currently subscriptions are in the table:

jos_fb_subscriptions with three fields:

thread
userid
future1

?what is future1 for??

Would the fb devs like a different table (jos_fb_forum_subs) with a structure: forum, userid

OR are they planning to use future1 for it?

I'm not bothered about the devs using my hacking - no doubt they'll do it better when they get a chance, but it'd be nice if my existing users who'll've subscribed don't end up having to re-subscribe when FB natively holds forum subscriptions?


Thoughts would be EXTREMELY useful

Thanks
