Question "Automatically" subscribe all members to be notified of any new messages

Hi all,

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this thread but i will try anyway.

I have searched the forum on topics about email notification but i haven't found a solution yet. Our client, who uses Kunena, wants email notification to all members whenever a new post has been made. I am aware of the discussion going on if email notification should be made possible or not. I do not want to go there, because my client is king and this is what she wants.....

Could anybody give me a clue, tip, hack around the fact that email notification is not standard in Kunena 1.5.9? The code for notifications for administrators/moderators? Anything?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Saskia

Hello,

If i remenber right, in kunena 1.6.0 you will have the possibility to receive email notifications for a complete category instead of a precise post.

The feature - send an email to all members whenever a post is made - does not exist in Kunena 1.5.9. For this reason, there is no support issue involved.

We have discussed this question several times before:

• Sending email notification on all new posts to all
• Multiple email notification when creating new thread
• Create new user or modify moderator permissions

Ideally, perhaps, it would be nice to have a news digest feature that periodically and automatically prepared a mass mail-out newsletter to all members informing them of new topics that had been started. I am fairly sure that there are other Joomla components that achieve this result if you are willing to pay for the service.

However, given that this similar question has been asked several times before and that support for the idea has been lukewarm, I don't know when (or if) the concept will be fully extended in the manner you have asked.

As xillibit has mentioned, K 1.6 is expected to allow users to opt-in to subscribe to receive all new posts (new threads as well as replies to those discussions) on a category-by-category basis.

[strike]I have moved this discussion to the Hacks, Tips and Tricks category: perhaps someone may be willing to develop a solution in K 1.5.9 for you?[/strike]

Hi everybody,

I have the same problem: My clients uses Kunena Forum and wants this feature that everybody is informed whenever a post is made in the forum.
Would be cool if someone can help or point out what to do.

Many Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I would absolutely want this as a feature in the next version (1.6) of Kunena!
I'd like to have the option of sending broadcast post to my member base.
They could always come to the site and turn off this feature, but, I'd like to have it offered.

Just one users opinion.

We just started using Kunena on an existing membership website. We would like to subscribe all of our members to all of the new and existing threads so they are notified via email when a new post is added. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks so much!
