Hi! Would be possilble to create a “shortcode” or something simillar to give on any WP page the option to ” auto subscribe all the topic i post” and.. “list all the topics by XXXX user” ?

Is a good idea to integrete it on non SP pages for those who are not using SP or  BP profiles… i know this should be “easy” for the simpe:press team

I take the point about the profile usage and will pass that on to Steve who created the BP integration plugin. One of the important things against doing something like this is that as soon as you do then you create a lot of code overhead that has to be loaded on every page of your website. This is true of all template tags, widgets etc., that any plugin supplies of course. We try very hard to be as light as possible on non-forum views.

However, on the  subject of the subscription – can you not turn on the admin option to auto-subscribe your members to all topics they post to? Or is the objection to that that they do not get to see or use the SP profile therefore can not turn it off again?

As to “list all the topics by XXXX user” can you expand on this? Are you suggesting that a member can nominate another user to see all of their topics? Posts? Do you mean their own?

My intention is to put a button on every user profile about ” list all post by this user ” option ( is not a Sp or bp profile)

 

About the options of subscribing… you are right, maybe the best is to be as clean as possible…  so… if i´m using another kind of profile… can we add a “mini” forum options just including the subscribing options and put them as a button right? so i can keep the profile clean and let the user choose on the forum what kind of suscriptions he wants… but i suppose this is a coding work al can take me months! hahahhaa

I will write this up so that we can discuss it and see if there is anything we can do. It seems to make  sense to me.
