Hi,

should be useful to have an option, in Subscription admin panel (nad/or in user options), to choice if an user that subscribed to a topic has to receive the whole new post (like now) or only a link addressing to discussion (like in PM).

Thanks

 

Marco

I would swear that we used to do it this way once! I think we bowed to user requests.

Lol. Exactly. We were getting beat up by folks for not including content. We didn’t have the polls plugin at that time but we took an informal poll and it was unanimous to include the content. So we changed it. And actually since it was done some time ago, you are the first to want to go back. ;)

But no reason why we can consider making it an option for a future release of the plugin.

You can add a filter to the email to strip out the post content or truncate it.

In the codex http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/plugins/our-plugins/available-plugins/subscriptions/ are examples of how. You can add the filter to your theme’s spFunctions.php file.

Ah yes. Great point Brandon – – had forgotten that. We usually go for decisions not options but yet flexibility and a way to alter.

Perfect!
