Solved Autosubscription Plugin

Hi Viktor,

I tried removing the user via User Manager and Kunena does not remove the subscriptions from the database. This is why I suggested that the plugin should do it.

I tried to post to your forum but it would not allow me.

Okay, I will think about this feature. Sounds useful!

You have to enable the free support subscription, then you may use the free support section.

Regards

Here we go!

Version 2.5-2 released:

+ Execute the plugin in the backend
+ Remove subscriptions - Remove all category subscriptions if the user is deleted completely

Have fun!

Plugin works as advertised. Thank you Viktor.

Attached is a php file that will subscribe all users of a specific joomla group to all of their authorized categories. It tests to ensure each user is authorized and checks to see if the subscription already exists before adding it. Much of the code to do this was copied from Viktors plugin.

Works only on Kunena Versions 2 and Joomla 1.6->2.5. All disclaimers apply. Backup your site before performing any of these actions.

To use this get yoursef a copy of Jumi and install it.

In Jumi Application Manager (Components->Jumi) create a new application. Give it a name such as Subscribe All. Open the attached zip file and copy and paste the php code into the custom script field. Change the $grpname to the Joomla group you wish to have the script process. Save the application.

Create a new menu of type Jumi Application and point it to the application you created. You will want to set an access level to restrict its use.

Go to your front end and call the menu. The script will summarize the number of users processed and insertions made.

Hi Achartier,

thank you for your feedback.

Maybe you should also write a small plugin which would be easier to handle for beginners?

The problem with a plugin for this application is when and how to run it. Force subscribing all users to all permitted categories is likely a one-time or very infrequent task (once the autosubscription plugin is installed of course). It could be created as a component and run from the admin side but at this point quite a lot more time than I am able to invest right now.

I hope the instructions are clear enough that most admins can make it work. If not they can come here for help.
