Vadikan Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hello, All!I've noticed that the new board engine allows members to subscribe to a thread and receive all posted messages. One doesn't have to visit the board in order to receive such notifications. I'm suggesting the template change, so the notification subject includes the forum name and the thread title. People who follow a lot of threads will be able to sort the messages with filters and use threaded view. I'll be more specific. The current notification format is To: my@e-mail.netSubject: Topic Subscription Reply Notification ( From MSFN Forums )From: "MSFN Forums" <msfn(at)msfn.org>VAD,2forza has just posted a reply to a topic that you have subscribed to titled "June Desktops".<message body here>Suggested format (proposed changes in red)To: my@e-mail.netSubject: [Customizing Windows] June DesktopsFrom: "MSFN Forums" <msfn(at)msfn.org>Attention! This is an automated message from MSFN forums. Do not reply to this message!===>>>----------------------------------------------- Topic: June DesktopsForum: Customizing WindowsTime: 21-06-2005 0:36Author: 2forzaMessage text:===>>>-----------------------------------------------<message body here>Having the thread title in the subject allows people to use the threaded view, and the forum name in the subject enables filtering to different folders based on the forum names. I don't know how to accomplish the template change. I just hope it's possible. If people express interest in the change, the board admins may want to look into it. Thanks for your attention.

prathapml Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Good idea! If there's a mod to IPB2 for this, it can be done.Otherwise, maybe waiting for InvisionPower to add in these further details might be the course to take... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vadikan Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 Thanks for your support, prathapml I'm not sure if such mod exist. I searched for notification in subjects in relevant forums athttp://forums.ipbhelpers.comhttp://www.php-scripting.ushttp://forums.invisionize.com/and came up with nothing. I've seen similar requests, though. However, it can be done.I've found one solution at a Russian board. The author suggests editing .\sources\post.php around the line 580. He got two pieces of code in the post (before and after). I don't know PHP, it's all Greek to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
