Email notification if the thread you created was responded to?

    • Posted 2 years ago #

    ... something very similar to the way wordpress works now.

    Does such a function/plugin exist for bbpress?

    If so, I can't find it. If you know of one, please point it out to me.

    There used to be a way to make any topic you created a favorite of yours, then you could ask for email notification for all favorites, which meant you'd get an email whenever someone replied to a topic you created (since it was a favorite of yours.) The plugin that did that was pretty old, for prior to 0.9 I believe. I imagine you're using the latest 1.0.x release?

    particularly this comment for a really simple way of doing this, I think:

    Or maybe this one:
    http://plugins-dev.bbpress.org/browser/auto-add-favorites/trunk/auto_add_favorites.php

    It's certainly possible, with a plugin.

    Its in the trunk version!

    ashfame, trunk automatically emails you for a thread you created? I know you can request email updates (like here), but will it happen automatically when you create a thread/topic?

    With the subscribe to email updates function there now, it's probably easier to just mark the topic when you create it, like _ck_'s comment here http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/post-notification/#post-451

    It's probably just a different function now.

    Thanks to both of you, let me look at this plugin and ck's mod.

    Trunk is not for production environments, is it?

    No, that's the unstable version. It's in use here, so it's fairly stable, but it's not recommended normally.
