Awesome module, folks. It's becoming very powerful. What I'd like to do is simplify the subscription experience for my users.

Right now, at the bottom of a forum topic node, I get all these choices:

  • Subscribe to this post
  • To Forum topic posts
  • To Forum topic posts by noah
  • To all posts in My Little Forum

I'd like to make life less confusing for my users by just letting them:

  • Subscribe to this post
  • To all Forum topic posts

In other words, turn certain options off. I understand how to turn off the "To all posts in My Little Forum" option (make Forums an "omitted vocabulary"). But I currently don't see any way to remove the "To Forum topic posts by noah" option, except by hacking the module code.

Or what if I want to offer only this option:

  • Subscribe to all posts in My Little Forum

In other words, let users subscribe to the taxonomy term, but nothing else. Currently, the subscription form doesn't appear at all if you disable subscribing to a given type/node. So the above scenario is impossible.

PS - On a related note, it would be wonderful if I, as a Subscriptions Admin, could change the wording of the above options -- for example, to change "Subscribe to this post" to "Email me with changes or comments to this post."

Thanks!

The "To (type) by (author)" option only shows for content types that display the author name, not for those that don't. You're not the first to ask for this though, but this is difficult to implement, because every module that supplies subscription options can supply whatever it wants. There's no central point of control...

You can't remove "Subscribe to this post" without removing the UI. That's working as designed. Why would you want to do that?

Just define a new language and set your site to use that language, then you can replace all (well, most) of the strings anywhere in Drupal.
