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

Is it possible perhaps with CB to have the "subscribe" button preset be based on their profile?

So for example the config default would be preset to yes, but the user in their profile could change that preset to "no" and it would be honored

I've had many requests for this.

Subscriptions in K 1.6 are not based on profile. Subscriptions are based on topic and category.

I have a client requirement to notify all forum users (not admins or moderators) of a new post to the forum. This is a shortterm measure while the community is building to encourage regular access of the forum.

I can't find an option to achieve this (and would be surprised if there was on), can anyone suggest a hack or better still a plugin to achieve this?

It's kind of there. We have category subscriptions feature, where you can configure it to send emails to everyone who has been subscribed to the category. It also allows users to unsubscribe, if they want to.

Only thing what's missing is how to subscribe all users into that category when they register. And that part can be done by using a plugin. I can do that (into K1.6.6) as a small paid job -- email me [email protected].

Hi,

Does anyone know if one can auto subscribe, or mass subscribe the joomla users list to a certain forum category?

I could probably add the ID's into the kuena_categories table but would prefer to do it via the admin if possible.

There is no auto-subscribe or mass subscribe. The feature has been partially added into K2.0.
