XF 1.3 Email notification of new topics

[FernandoZ]

Hi,

How can I make it so that when any new topic is created, all users of a certain usergroup is notified via email?

Thank you.

 

[Amaury]

Watch the forum.

 

[FernandoZ]

It needs to be on all forums, that is, watch the board.

How can I do that?

 

[Amaury]

You'll have to do that on each individual forum.

 

[FernandoZ]

My users seem to have a problem with clicking on that on all forums of the board.

Is there any way that I can do that for them?

Something like usergroupX watchs this and that forum?

 

[Paul B]

There is no option to do that.

 

[FernandoZ]

I see.

So, in Admin Control Panel, what is the use of:

Users -> User Groups -> Group Forum Watch

?

 

[Paul B]

That sounds like something from an add-on.

 

[FernandoZ]

Yes. In fact I have [bd] Forum Watch.

I will seek help there, thanks.

Hi there - I hope you can help me. I run a club website and the committee are particularly lazy since they don't often click "View This Thread" on email notifications. Of course if they don't do that, they don't get future notifications from that thread. Is there any way of overriding that so that they receive a notification of any posting or reply or new thread without having read the previous post?

I know I could set the email notification to be just a header or a few lines, but they also like the whole thing in email!

I only want to do this on one forum with maybe 20 members

Thank you in advance

Kindest

Neil

It requires custom development/an add-on.
