Just wondering if the new subscriptions module 5.2x will be open to an interface with the views/location module, or as an add on such as Subscriptions_views.
For the website I'm building I need a bit more customizability in the user interface.
I've looked at just about every module available, and the only combination that with allow my users to get email alerts based on taxonomy, and location/proximity would be to integrate the subscription.ui module with views.
From other posts I've read this is something that a fair # of Drupalers are looking for.
If anyones interested in such a project please let me know. I've come a long way with my website, and this is one of the last features I need.
I spoke with my business partners, and if needed we are willing to pay for developement.
The only other thought I have would be to use Domain Access for subdomains based on location,
but I couldn't get the subscriptions module to respect the subdomains I created.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Daryl

Daryljames commentedAnother problem I see is that my users in the current state of the taxonomy in subscriptions_UI. have the ability to subscribe to any of the terms in the vocabulary.
I think it would be awesome to be able to turn off the ability to subscribe to the parent terms, by using a collapsable fieldset/tree such as the module (Taxonomy vocabulary (super select ultra)) which I currently use on my submission forms.
This again I believe would have to be implemented through a views interface.
It would give the subscription/taxonomy settings a much cleaner appearance.
Its fairly difficult to distinguish between the parent terms, and the children, and with having 200 plus taxonomy terms, as I do the current settings is quite messy.
Just wanted to encourage everyone working on this module that you are doing a great job, and the new features implemented are quite helpful.
Thanks for all the hard work!

salvisThanks for the kind words, Daryl, and thanks for reposting. Please understand that anything you write under the topic "Subscriptions_Views Interface" (which is a good title, BTW) should belong to that topic.
If you write about Domain Access, big vocabularies, and uprofile under "Subscriptions_Views Interface", then these off-topic subjects are completely wasted, because no one will find them, no one will be able to post patches for them, there's no way to mark them fixed, and they'll go away when the "Subscriptions_Views Interface" topic is closed...
Please open a new issue for every new topic!
Subscriptions 2.0 was designed with plug-ins in mind. I don't know enough about Views to say how easy or difficult it would be to write a generic Views interface to Subscriptions, but a custom module for your specific needs should certainly be doable.
I see the problem with big taxonomies, but this is something that will probably have to wait for later. Right now our focus is to get the base functionality up and running.
I can't help you with Domain Access and uprofile. Maybe, if you post separate issues for them (with good titles and appropriate tags!), you attract others who are using them, and you'll eventually get something going...
P.S. I see that you've just opened a separate topic for uprofile (Autosubscribe taxonomy), that's a step in the right direction!
