Hello.
I’ve the same need. I animate a business managers association.
Each time a new member joins the association, I create his account in the private forum. All members need to receive all the posts w/o having to subscribe themselves.
Thanks.
Patrick.
I will leave this one to Mr Papa as I’m not sure what the resolution was here, but my guess would be that the code wasn’t posted here as it’s the pre membership queries forum.
Mr Papa said
its possible and been posted in the support forum…
I did not find it.
Could you help ?
Thanks.
first, will move this to the proper support forum since you are a support member and its not a pre membership query…
so re-reading this, any reason you cant just use our membership subscribe plugin? How many forums do you have? This will autosubscribe your members to your forums, which I think will do exactly what you want…
better than writing you own little code… take a look and let us know…
I already use subscriptions plugin and I’ve only one private forum.
In the plugin options, I see that the autosubscribe option is only for members posting.
When a new member arrives in my association, I create a forum account for him. I wish he will receive all the new posts automatically.
Thanks.
Membership Subscribe is different and it’s own plugin. Steve has a valid point, it allows you to set up an auto subscription so members added to a usergroup (and the entirety of the usergroup itself) to be auto subscribed to a forum. Take a look at the Codex page to see if it will do what you want, but it should do I think.
Ok. I understand now. I did not known Membership Subscribe plugin.
I’ve installed it.
Thanks.
When I create a new user, he’s not automatically added to the subscriptions list of the unique private forum. An idea ?
When I look at the subscription options in his profile, it’s written :
“auto subscribe for subjects in” with a green check
but there is not the forum name (see attache image).
Not sure I understand.. ‘Auto subscribe to topics I post in’ means as it states, the user has to post to a topic to be subscribed to it. Once a user has posted in say ‘Topic A’, you would then view the next tab of the subscriptions profile page ‘Topic Subscriptions’ to view the topics the user is subscribed to.
This is different to Membership Subscribe. For that to work firstly the chosen usergroup must have the permission enabled to subscribe to forums assigned to the usergroup and forum in question. Also, you only get the option of auto subscribing a usergroup to a forum when you add a permission, not when you manage one currently in place.
Hope that helps..
