notifications

So, I've given myself (and spared you) three days to try and get this to work. Didn't happen.

I created a Custom Subscription (Node Type: Announcement) and cannot get it to send email OR queue. I can subscribe to content types, like Page, Story, etc. I have a custom content type, Announcement, that I want people to be able to subscribe to. Any ideas of why this isn't working or what I can do to troubleshoot?

Like I said, I've spent three days reading threads, tinkering, checking this and unchecking that, nada. Oh, and this framework doesn't provide much in the way of log entries :\

I'm trying to switch from the notify module to notifications. I would like new users to have as default settings to receive notifications of creation, update, and comments for content types events, forums, and book pages (I call book pages "resource items"). I don't see a way to do this. New users don't have any subscriptions. They have to set each one.

With the notify module, in notify.module, there's code for inserting a new user and I've been able to modify it to:


at case 'insert':
if (isset($edit['notify_decision']) && $edit['notify_decision'] == 1){

Hallo, liebe Gemeinschaft,

I did it. A huge milestone in my Drupal development life. I completed my first custom module. While at this point it would only work on my site (I hard coded the name of content types and some other variables from the notification module) but it works. I have attached it but know that you can’t just add it to your site. At minimum you might have to change the name of the feed-item content type on line 85.

I'm working on an Aggregation site. I am using FeedAPI to pulling the feeds. I have a vocabulary for "tags" and "category." I assign each feed at least on "category" when the feed is created. I control the create of the Feeds and the "category". The "category" vocabulary also drives a menu on top of my page. I am using Feed Element Mapper to add tags from the Feeds to the "tags" vocabulary so I have no control over what gets put in it.

I am also using Messaging/Notifications to allow the users to subscribe to feeds and/or "category" vocabulary.
