Downloaded v1.3 and it appears to be working exactly as expected. I like the new function.

hrm ... I haven't tried this on my own bbPress install yet, but spencerp's uses it and I enabled it in my profile on his forums and it emailed me about my initial post and my own reply. Is this behavior intentional?

Nicki, I'm using another version of this plugin.. I had asked Thomas earlier in the thread, for one that sends one out no matter what, or who's thread gets replied too. ;):)
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/313?replies=34#post-1766So, by default.. his original plugin won't do that. ;) :)

Ok, that explains it. LOL
Mine didn't do that and I had wondered if mine didn't do that for me because I'm the KeyMaster, or what.... :)
Thanks for clearing that up. :D

Hahaha.. you're welcome. ;) :) Come to think of it, I might even go back to just using the original plugin lmao.. I dunno though.. I kinda liked the idea of that though.. to help remind people that my forum's are there LOL!
Being that my forums are so small, it's kind of a nice thing, however.. if and when it gets a little bigger, it might not be a good thing.. I'll think about it though... I just got tons of other things to do sigh..

Can this plugin be modified to notify of new TOPICS in a forum, rather than new POSTS in a TOPIC. In other words, add the ability to have favorite forums rather than favorite topics? Or is there already a way to do this?

I think the following will do what you are hoping. It is referenced 2 or 3 times in this thread.

If I'm not mistaken Trent, I think that plugin notifies the ADMINISTRATOR of ANY post to ANY topic. Since it does not add any visible subscription option to any forums, I can only assume that's what it does. The only other possibility is that it emails EVERYONE when ANYONE posts ANYTHING ANYWHERE on bbpress, which would be a disaster. Can anyone verify what exactly notify_all does? I installed it, but could not see a difference.

You might be correct that if checked 'in your profile' it would notify everyone of all posts replied and created if they also have it checked. It would notify you of any post or reply in the forum. At least, that is what the code suggests on first glance. Spencerp or Thomas should be able to clarify this.

Hehe ... it sends an email on EVERY new post if it's checked in the users profile. Not just admins.
I know what you mean with your plugin-request, this is something mine can't do at the moment. But I think this is a great feature to be added and it could be done by plugin. "Add Forum to favorites" :)
Posted 3 years ago # -
I tested it out and it sent me an email when I posted a new topic. That works for now. But, like we said, an "add forum to favorites" plugin is needed. For anyone reading this, what we are talking about is strictly for the plugin called notification_all.php which can be foun here:

MemberHi !
What's up with the email notifier ?
I had a look on the thomas website but the plugin is not there anymore ...
Anybody knows some others plugin like this ?
I'm looking for a plugin who notify in one e-mail by day/week (could be the choice of the user), what are the news topics on their favourite forum (not all forum). The plugin should also notify by e-mail all the replies in their favourites topics ... it could be in one email by day/week or one email for each notification (the must would be that user can choose between one e-mail for each notification or an email by day for every notifications of the day or one e-mail by week for every notifications of the week ...).
Unfortunately I don't have the programmation-skill of my ambitions ... anybody knows how it could be made ?Posted 2 years ago # -
Hmmm if I got it right, you mean the flickr Notification Style? Maybe it would be better to provide this as an extra plugin, because it would be a tooo big feature for mine (even in the upcoming, feature-loaded version :))
The best posibility I can think of at the moment, is doing this with a cronjob, but not everyone has cronjobs on his webspace account. So the more simple version would be a visit-based cronjob...
Anybody in for this? Or should I get my hands dirty? :D

Hey Thomas! Any chance of the new version coming soon? I tried to download theold version, but can't find it anymore.

Any answer about the Email Notification plugin? I agree that it's necessary to allow users to get emails when a new response is posted.
bbPress does a much better job at archiving conversations and making them searchable. The Email Notifications will help me ween my community off email lists.

I would also like to know if there has been any more updates to this plugin, and where I can download it from.
The links in this thread seem to be dead.
Thanks.

I just don't have the time at the moment. sorry guys...

ModeratorAnything that used
admin_emailwith bbPress 0.8.x has to be changed tofrom_emailunder 0.9 (I am not sure why it was necessary to break all the plugins like that but what is done is done).It should take a simple edit. I still get notification emails under 0.9. I believe I posted the fix on the plugin page.

Personally, what I want from an email notification service is:-
1. To notify me of when someone replies, but not EVERYONE that replies.
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.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.
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.
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.
This is standard, basic bulletin board protocol and absolutely has to be in the standard installation.

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.
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.

I really really wish he would put it in bbPress subversion. Would be a lot easier for me to make sure the plugin is updated.
