See attached. The list has not changed in months, except for actually removing one of two. None of the other add-ons have yet exhibited any performance or compatibility issues that we've noticed.

Can I have list of installed add-ons from both of you @jwright and @Gene Steinberg ?

I've got:

• "Sitemap for Xenforo": http://xenforo.com/community/resources/sitemap-for-xenforo.67/
• "******* Auto Close/Move/Delete Thread Inactivity": http://xenforo.com/community/resources/*******-auto-close-move-delete-thread-inactivity.1366/ (this one was disabled while testing for what it's worth)
• "[bd] Forum Watch" of course

Please update to latest version v2.1.1b, it should fix your issues.

Everything seems to be working great now! Thanks for the quick update!

 

[Gene Steinberg]

Thanks for the update. We get quite a few messages in our largest forum, so I'll have a full picture on this after a day or so, but it looks promising.

Hi

I am very interested in this addon. I want to use it for always send notification for replies in all threads for my premium usergroup only.
I want this addon to send the actual content of the posting in each email, so my premium usergroup can read everything offline. Is this possible?
If in XF ACP, the standard setting for all usergroups is not to get the content in each email by default?

The reason behind is, that I want to give my premim usergroup an advantage compared to a normal user. So a normal user shall only get alerts like the standard options of XF, the premium usergroup shall get the content of all replies no matter where (except private forums of course).

The premium usergroup also needs to be able to turn that feature off individually, in case they use their work email address for example.

Not possible. Full content is sent using XenForo option.

Hi

can a user uncheck this email addon in his userprofile, if he does not want to get so many emails? If yes, is this linked to the "receive site emails from admin", so that option is then turned off too?

User can choose to turn on/off email when he/she choose to watch a forum/thread.

Hi,

I installed it now. Looks good. Is there a way to mark all forums with one click for all usergroups and only uncheck afterwards 2 or 3 of them? I have more than 70 forums...

No... Sorry.

I really like this, one suggestion I have:

It would be nice to have something half way between on and off for the option Always Notify About New Reply

I tried with this option ticked, and people found it a bit too much, they were suddenly overwhelmed with emails. So it would be good if you could specify the number of times you get the "always notify"

e.g. you get 2 or 3 notifications without visiting the thread, but after that it reverts to only sending emails if you did visit.

Would this be complicated?

That's not possible I'm afraid.

Hi,

I have 2 users who complain that they get emails ongoing from a thread they have posted something. The strang thung is, that one of them is even not in a usergroup I picked for my testing. The other other is in this usergroup, but the forum the thread is in, is not selected for forum watching.

What could be the reason for this?

I use XF1.3 and have checked the option to always receive emails, not only the first reply.
Only 2 usergroup out of 5 are setup for this testing and only one forum.

The option works for all user groups in all forums. How can you setup only 2 user groups and one forum?!

I have something similar, if you set up two usergroups to watch one forum:

I think @snoopy5 users have subscribed for thread watch when they replied to the thread. And because the option works system-wide, those users will receive all replies.

@xfrocks , I was absent-minded and upgraded my site finally from 1.1.x to 1.3.2 without looking for an updated version of this add-on that I was running. I was smart enough to do a db dump of the table, so I have all of the data and would now like to convert my old watches into the new ones, but I'm having trouble deciphering what the 0s, 1s, and 2s represent.

For example, for this entry:

8467,94,1,0

It's:

userid,forumid,reply_subscribe,notification_method

But I don't remember what the 1 for reply_subscribe and the 0 for notification_method means.

Do you have a key for these?

For notification_method, I believe 0 is alert, 1 is email, and 2 is both.
For reply_subscribe, I believe it's 0 for thread, and 1 for message.

Am I close?

I'm getting the following errors on install.
