I just installed Drupal and really love it. My old install was with phpwebsite. That site is running at www.btrscoots.com. I have a beta Drupal site running at www.btrscoots.com/drupal.

Has anyone made a module that sends out an e-mail of new forum entries to registered users of a Drupal site? I'm thinking about the type of notification you receive from Yahoo discussion boards. New posts from a Yahoo board are forwarded by e-mail to all registered users each day as a "digest."

Thanks for any thoughts.

There is a subscriptions module for Drupal that emails users notification of updates to threads or other content to which they have subscribed.

Unless I am mistaken, this is about as close Drupal comes to the functionality you describe above. I have used it in several client sites and it is a terrific module.

The "Notify" module seems to be a great solution! Thanks for the reference. I'll also try the Subscriptions solution later, but this will work for sure.

Notify is `what's new' - it depends on how often you want to send (daily, weekly)

Subscriptions - subscribe to comments per node (forum, blog, story, etc)

OG - if you set `forum' to be in node type that gets email notifiications, it will send a new forum topic to group subscribers (and email if they opt in)

What about comment_notify module

I am trying to find a module that sends email notification to users when they receive replies to their
forum posts/comments. I am testing comment_notify now. I noticed that it does not notify the
original node author....only commenter's.

The Notifications and Messenger modules look cool, but when I installed it, I got an error like, Fatal error: phpmailer code not present ... in line 55.

http://drupal.org/project/notifications

http://drupal.org/project/messaging

In fact, i had to remove both modules in order for my website to get back to working mode.

I tried Notify module, and couldn't get it to work, as others have pointed out.

I am disappointed with these Drupal modules so far.

I will try subscriptions module.
