Greetings all!

how can i force the news module notification option on all users?

i realize this has to be done via sql queries. I have done the query to enable notification by email on all XOOPS user accounts.

what i'm looking for now is the table / field to modify for all users to that they do have the Global new story notification on.

i appreciate any help you can provide

thanks!

A notification settings for each user should be set for each member during subscribing them to a private forum.

However the notification routine should be modernized to set notifications on for all those who reply to a forum. Moodel for instance sets notifications on for all those who post, replies or visits a forum.

Forcing notification or setting a subscription within the Admin would be most needed. If the member for some reason fails to set notifications on for any particular discussion they are a member of, the admin can not see this, they would have to log on as that member to set notification.

Forcing notification should also be allowed at the admin level but groups or individual.

Please contact me as we may be working on this solution for our needs.

Regards,

Rick

P.S. I think the notification routine needs to be overhauled. The notifications has inherent problems. php/bb has solved the issues with notifications - XOOPS framework, may have to scrap its the current way it tries to notify.

the preference setting for user selected notification for the news module must be stored somewhere? i suspect it is a flag or some king, but i can't find which table it is.

i'd like to do a simple update query to set the flag for this feature on all users.

anyone know how and where i can do this?

Ditto here! Most of my users are not very tech savvy, and won't bother setting notifications - I need to be able to do this for them, preferably by groups.

Also, setting default notifications for new users would be very useful too.

I think you'd have to do it through phpmyadmin for each individual member, one at a time

I know as much about it as you do, but I have a feeling the table called "user_profiles" and the field called "notify method" would be a wise choice.

that controls whether they want to be notified by email or private message.

i'm lookin for how to set the notification on for the news modules.

i already forced email updates by updating the user prefs table for notification type.

i want to set the notification for new stories on in the news module for all users.

currently, users login, and set that option manually. that option has to be stored somewhere, but i can't find out where...

I see what you mean. I've gone through the entire database structure and can't find anything referencing it. Not yet, anyway.
