XF 1.3 Watch a thread, make default email, not alert

[slewis1972]

Hi

When you set watch a thread, by default notification is by alert. Where can I change it to email for everyone that chooses to watch a thread?

Thanks

Have a look at the "Default Registration Values" option (you can use the ACP search in the upper right to find it).

Not seeing anything in there to switch from default of alerts to email. What am I missing?

Sorry, this does not change the default eg on my forum:

Watch Forum - Football Discussion Forum
Send notifications via:

The default is alerts, I want the default to be email.

It will only change it for new members. If you want it changed for existing members you will need to run a query against the DB.

ok, sounds workable. Any ideas on the query?

I think the post by @Brogan at http://xenforo.com/community/threads/unwatch-threads.17651/#post-230088 will help you out. Just change the 0 (zero) to a 1 (one) and it should change all existing users to having email upon alerts enabled.

EDIT:

Disregard.. I think that's for conversations.

@slewis1972, I think the second line of that query is what you need...but unsure and think in where there are just two ' you need to place a 1. Maybe @Brogan or @Mike will chime in here.

UPDATE xf_user_option SET default_watch_state = 'watch_email'

That will make all members automatically watch threads and receive email when they are updated.

This will only apply to existing members?
