  1. Hello,

    In any topic, when I drop down the box, I could select one of the three options (don't subscribe,subscribe without email and instant email notification) but when I select any option, the box always shows the default (don't subscribe) with no effect.

    By the other hand I think it would be great mark an option in pluing page that mark by default the email notifications (without enter in phpmysql :)

    And the last thing.... I think this plugin must be part of bbpress core component ;)

    Great job!

  2. Hi,

    this plugin looks good. Is this right that you're using your own topic subscriber database table?
    Why not using the bbpress native favorite function?

    This plugin is similar to WP plugins like this one right?

  3. I have the same problem as rubick. When I select any option from the drop down box, it switches right back to "don't subscribe". Likewise, if I check the "Subscribe to topic via email" checkbox, it becomes unchecked as soon as refresh the page in any way. No emails are ever sent.

    I am running bbpress 1.0.2.

    Thanks for all of the wonderful plugins. Hope you can get this one fixed. :-)

    _ck_, first thank you for this great plugin!

    I had Daniel and Rubick problem too. But I solved it.

    The reason that happens is because the database has no tables to capture the information, so the plugin in fact does not work. You can create the table by running the SQL query that the owner posted earlier. It took me about 10 seconds. After this, the plugin registers the information and you can even check the data in your phpmyadmin.

    I do have one issue that was already posted by someone else and that is that the administrator cannot logout of the forum from within the admin panel. This yields an error. Admin can only logout from the forum.

    _ck_, do you happen to have a fix for this? It is not an impediment to run the plugin as the only one trying to log out from the administration will be the admin. But still it will be nice to have a fix for it.

  5. I've seen on some sites, that you can subscribe to a post, without actually leaving a comment. A lot of people that read online don't actually like getting involved via comments or replies.

    Is it possible to add an option for users that want to subscribe without actually replying on it?

    Posted: 2 years ago #
  6. Yeah chandersbs is right, you really need a feature that lets' anyone with an email subscribe to a topic or discussion, really any level. That way if you have someone casually passing by that is interested, they can keep up with the topic without actually getting involved.

    Also, if you grab their email upfront like that, when they do ultimately register you could have all that information stored and possible add that to their favorites area right off the bat.

  7. Some minor issues if you're using the plugin with:

    WPMU 2.8.4a and BBPress 1.0.2

    and have separate WPMU & BBPress databases, with BBPress getting it's users from the WPMU database.

    1) The subscribe_to_topics table isn't created on plugin activation. I manually ran the SQL Create statement on the BBPress database to fix this.

    2) The query on line 195 of subscribe_to_topic.php needs to be amended as follows:

    //  to handle user & usermeta tables being in different database
    $fqn_users = $bbdb->db_servers['dbh_user']['name'].'.'.$bbdb->users;
    $fqn_usermeta = $bbdb->db_servers['dbh_user']['name'].'.'.$bbdb->usermeta;
    $fqn_subscribe_to_topic = $bbdb->db_servers['dbh_global']['name'].'.'.$subscribe_to_topic['db'];
    
    $query="SELECT DISTINCT tbl_wp_usermeta.user_id,tbl_wp_users.user_email
    FROM $fqn_users			 	AS tbl_wp_users
        LEFT JOIN $fqn_usermeta		AS tbl_wp_usermeta 		ON tbl_wp_users.ID=tbl_wp_usermeta.user_id
        LEFT JOIN $fqn_subscribe_to_topic 	AS tbl_subscribe_to_topic 	ON tbl_wp_users.ID=tbl_subscribe_to_topic.user
    WHERE
         tbl_subscribe_to_topic.user!=$bb_current_user->ID AND
         tbl_wp_users.user_status=0 AND
         tbl_subscribe_to_topic.topic=$topic_id AND
         tbl_subscribe_to_topic.type=2 AND
         tbl_subscribe_to_topic.time<$time AND
         tbl_subscribe_to_topic.post>tbl_subscribe_to_topic.last AND
         (tbl_wp_usermeta.meta_key='bb_capabilities' AND NOT (tbl_wp_usermeta.meta_value LIKE '%inactive%' OR tbl_wp_usermeta.meta_value LIKE '%blocked%'))";

    _ck_ - I think this fix should be generic enough to work in most install scenarios - perhaps you could consider including it in the next official version?

    Thanks for a useful plugin!

    Regards

    David

    Nice plugin _ck_

    Wondered if you have considered using ajax for the simple version (like add to favourites does).

    I have it running on 1.0.2 successfully (albeit with some minor messing about) - but appears fine currently.

    thanks

    I shared Daniel and Rubick's problem and follow bbpros method to create a table. Unfortunately, the problem is still there. Any advice?

  11. Hi,
    Just installed the plugin. It is exactly what I need. I noticed a minor bug. The "Logout" from Admin area cases an error if plugin is activated. If deactivated, the error disappears. I didn't change any plugin code.

    The error message is (changed is %BB_PATH%, %SITE_URL%, %XXX%):

    Warning: parse_url(/bb-login.php?logout=1&re=%SITE_URL%) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL in %BB_PATH%/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 596

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at %BB_PATH%/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:596) in %BB_PATH%/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-auth.php on line 292
    ... (repeated 10 times) ...

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at %BB_PATH%/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php:596) in %BB_PATH%/bb-includes/functions.bb-pluggable.php on line %XXX%
    ... (repeated 6 times with %XXX% position in functions.bb-pluggable.php: 193, 194, 197, 198, 199, 200)

    Any ideas?

  12. Hi,
    I am getting the following error when I try to Add New Topic but I am not logged in

    Warning: parse_url(/forum/bb-login.php?re=http://www.troubledteenblog.com/forum/?new=1) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL in /home/tonicarr/public_html/troubledteenblog/forum/bb-includes/functions.bb-core.php on line 596

    I have looked at the line on the file but have no idea what the problem is. I have very few plugins on the forum, in fact it is only a couple of days old.

    Thanks for the help, I would really like this option to work.

  13. As an added note, it works great when I am logged in, only when not logged in or registered.

    Thanks!!

  14. Are we going to see a bbPress 1.0.2 compatible update anytime soon?

    I'd really like to have this plugin working, but I wouldn't want to mess with all the bugs that guys who've tried to make it work on their own encountered.

    The author _ck_ hasn't been active on these forums for a few months now. He created quite a few plugins, but none of them have been updated recently. Hopefully we will see something in the near future as many of the plugins including this one would be wonderful to have! Unfortunately, I had to turn this plugin off because it was causing too many problems.

    Is there a fix for 1.02?

    Why don't you try out the trunk version? It has the same functionality.

    I'm looking for something that can send a mail (to subscribers) when there's a new topic posted in a forum; i.e. that users can subscribe to a subforum.

    Also I'd like to know where I can set if I want an email daily, direct, weekly, ...
