Hello, I installed beta version expecting to use it for anonymous notifications on my site.

In description to 6.x-4.x version I saw
Subscriptions / Notifications for Anonymous users. New module for Anonymous subscriptions.

but looks like anonymous notifications do not work at all.
first of all I couldn't find any documentation about this new module, I looked on code and module and found this

  // Present form to request subscriptions
  $items['notifications/anonymous/request'] = array (

I thought that this is what I need, but unfortunately it seems to not work at all

$output .= drupal_get_form('notifications_anonymous_request_form');

and there's no such form exists

Could anyone help me with that? I'm sure that many people faced with such task as anonymous subscriptions on drupal.

yes, just trying to go through and figure out what the UI is for this module and would have to agree.. the module is not yet completed.

that being said; i think the framework is in place to allow this to work; there is just no UI yet for it.

since the main notifications table stores an email address as opposed to uid if some ui writes an email and the other sid info this will likely work.

i am not quite sure what the concept for UI is intended to be on this; from the msg in this function notifications_anonymous_request_page() which calls the missing form it suggests that the idea is to send an email with a link to the subscribe page. not sure if this is an attempt at security?

so basically i am suggesting i might fix this module but looking for input as to what we'd like the ui to be.

i guess the idea that we could "request" an email with a link; conceivably then with a hash string in the url; this would prevent twits with a person's email address from going in and modifying their subscription settings.. cool idea.

thoughts?

Agree, would be great if this module did what it should: allow anonymous subscriptions... Any ideas as to how to get www.example.com/notifications/anonymous/request to work?

Is there any progress on this Anonymous subscriptions module?

I have encountered this problem for Anonymous subscriptions

An anonymous user will subscribe to a tag
They receive an email if the content that has been tagged is updated
The email contains an unsubscribe link which directs the anonymous user to here http://www.example.com/notifications/anonymous/subscriptions

If the user clicks this link it takes them to 'Page not found'

Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi,
Is there any update on this issue? As it looks like I have the same problem too. No email sent after anonymous subscription on comments or post. There is even no anonymous entry in the manage subscription table.
Thanks, regards,
