This works and I also installed the plugin adding all new posts by someone to his/her favorites. However, it would be nice to also have a way of turning on email notifications for all forum users. If someone knows of a way to do this please let me know.</p> <p>Thank you.<br /> Dan </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/email-notifications#post-20324 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 16:58:02 +0000 chrishajer 20324@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I think the user can mark their topic as a favorite, then use this plugin to get an email when there is a reply to the topic:</p> <p><a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/</a></p> <p>For an alternate view on this, search this page for the word "email":</p> <p><a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BuildingCommunitieswithSo.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/BuildingCommunitieswithSo.html</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/email-notifications#post-20321 Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:21:10 +0000 danbbpress 20321@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I like this forum software very much.

Also in topic.php there's a lot of code checking to see it a topic is your favorite.</p> <p>I suspect on topic.php you could comment out this:<br /> <code>&lt;li&lt;?php echo $class;?&gt; id=&quot;favorite-toggle&quot;&gt;&lt;?php user_favorites_link(); ?&gt;&lt;/li&gt;</code></p> <p>And then on profile.php comment out this:<br /> <code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;?php printf(__(&#39;You can also &lt;a href=&quot;%1$s&quot;&gt;manage your favorites&lt;/a&gt; and subscribe to your favorites&#8217; &lt;a href=&quot;%2$s&quot;&gt;&lt;abbr title=&quot;Really Simple Syndication&quot;&gt;RSS&lt;/abbr&gt; feed&lt;/a&gt;.&#39;), attribute_escape( get_favorites_link() ), attribute_escape( get_favorites_rss_link() )); ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</code></p> <p>That's all theory, mind. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/removing-favorites-feature#post-20058 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 12:25:29 +0000 assbear 20058@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>How do I remove the option 'Add this topic to you favorites' from the topic.php page?</p> <p>I've been digging through the bbPress scripts for two days now -<br /> but I just can't seem to locate the code creating the html for this feature.</p> <p>Please help, the bbPress Forum is awesome, but I really need to disable this feature.</p> <p>regards the AssBear </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-post-notification/page/2#post-19992 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:18:27 +0000 chrishajer 19992@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I don't want those things in the bbPress core - I would never use them. That said, normally things like this can be added via plugins, which are optional and I wouldn't have to install them. Best of both worlds.</p> <p>I am curious why you selected bbPress over phpBB if these core features are already present in phpBB but not in bbPress? Not a flame, an honest question. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/plugin-post-notification/page/2#post-19986 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:59:47 +0000 eclipsenow 19986@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Personally, what I want from an email notification service is:-</p> <p>1. To notify me of when someone replies, but not EVERYONE that replies.<br /> I love the fact that in phpbb.com the email notifies you, you click on the url and go to the next reply to your last post, and then you note that there are 20 other replies that you can read through neatly on the BB, but NOT 20 other emails to delete! The whole point of BB's is that they save email stress. I'd hate to lose this function just because we decided to go with bbpress not phpbb.</p> <p>2. Being able to subscribe to not just threads, but FORUMS is also important for some users. In some large forums, some specialists need to know everything going on in that forum and might be so busy that they'd appreciate an email every time someone started a thread.</p> <p>This sort of functionality should be standard in bbpress. I'm an activist spread very thinly over the internet, and RSS just doesn't cut it. I might see a thread, register, comment, and then forget about that whole forum until someone eventually replies. The email keeps me going back. With so many bulletin boards and forums to reply to and keep track of — that ALL pretty much notify of reply by email — why would I bother messing around with RSS as well? My email box is king, only it grabs my attention. This function should not be a plugin.</p> <p>3. There should be a function in my profile where I can just click an automatic email generator, so that ANY time I reply in ANY thread, I am automatically emailed if someone replies. </p> <p>This is standard, basic bulletin board protocol and absolutely has to be in the standard installation. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/favourites#post-17935 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 14:57:50 +0000 Thion 17935@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hmm... bbSuperCache plugin could be useful, muhaha!

Only bad thing it could do if it you used it on a frequently accessed page, might slow down your site a little bit.</p> <p>I'll double check why it's not working in 0.9</p> <p>update: oh they changed the name of the field from "favorites" to "bb_favorites" so it's like this now:</p> <pre><code>function get_topic_favorites_count( $topic_id=0) { global $bbdb, $topic; if (!$topic_id) $topic_id = (int) $topic-&gt;topic_id; return $bbdb-&gt;get_var(&quot;SELECT COUNT(*) FROM &quot;.$bbdb-&gt;usermeta.&quot; WHERE meta_key=&#39;bb_favorites&#39; AND meta_value REGEXP &#39;[[:&lt;:]]&quot;.$topic_id.&quot;[[:&gt;:]]&#39;&quot;); }</code></pre> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/favourites#post-17916 Sun, 03 Aug 2008 11:54:18 +0000 Thion 17916@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>It appears that function<code>get_topic_favorites_count</code> is not working in 0.9 - anyone know how to make it working?
