Solved Blue Eagle is always subscribing users to topic

That's true, unless the users are using Community Builder :whistle:

Then you can change that on the cb users settings

OK, I think I know what the issue is and what I wasn't understanding.

First I like to say that Kunena is an amazing software and I've been using it since 2009.

The change I made has solved my issue. However, I understand that it's not right for every situation.

This "bug" was pointed out to me by a user after the upgrade.

i notice, when i post something, it automatically subscribes me to the topic? Was that intentional? as previously this was not the case, and i could subscribe only to the topics i wanted to keep track of...

thanks Tomas

I then tested this and the same happened to me for every topic I tried.

I made the change of code and my issue was solved.

It's important to mention that I have always used CB and I've never given users (I didn't know how) the option to modify their "canSubscribe" setting. In looking at the database, every user's setting for "canSubscribe" is "1". I've never changed this value.

Given this, with the changes in the new template, I have NO option in configuration settings to have the default setting for the checkbox unchecked, neither do the users.

My choice is to have users subscribe to a topic, only when they make the effort to check the box. Most users are unaware of the checkbox when they reply to a topic.

Should users on an individual basis want to have the subscription by default for every topic they reply to, I could enable that in the future, but it's never been an option so far.

So since the canSubscribe setting is "1" for every user, and users don't have the option to change it, that line of code as it was, invalidates the option in the settings for subscriptionschecked variable.

Given all this, I should run a query to change all values to -1 for the cansubscribe value so that on the next update I don't have the same issue again.

Thank you,
Tomás

the sql for that is:

change the yourprefix with yours.

This setting was applied as the result of changes made in K 4.0.5.

Seems like I'm late to the party... :blush:
