Description
Hi,
I would like users to access subscriptions only through their user pages, and i'd like them to have the choice of subscribing or unsubscribing to content types only - preferably a single check box!
is this possible? i don't want them to have the option of subscribing to comments, forum posts or updates, just the creation of content in two content types.
thanks,
david

argh i can't believe i didn't check this out for normal users before posting.. sorry, deadlines etc etc..
it does allow just this with only overview and content type tabs visible..
as a half hearted save of my embarrassment, is it possible to hide the "overview" tab somehow?
sorry again,
david

No problem.
No, I don't think you can hide the Overview tab — it's the default tab. You can hide many of the options on the Overview tab, though.

Hi Salvis - I've got a similar issue as David - it would be great if we could get the the main subscriptions link to bypass the Overview page and default straight to the Categories Tab (or whichever single subs selection type is being run). If there's only one that's being used by a site it's not intuitive to have that Overview tab there. It'd be nice to have the option to remove the extra step for users to get to their subscription selections as part of the project default instead of having to hack the main file a bit like I ended up doing (truly great work on this project btw!!)

The Overview page also has the User Settings...

yes it does and thats a cool feature - but the site I've set up is a simple one and the subscription requirements are basic. I've switched off most of the visitor controls and have hacked the module - somehow(!) - so that it goes straight to the "subscription category list" and leaving out the overview tab, which is really all the site visitors need or want. I imagine that this would be a fairly common situation for other high-traffic/low-involvement sites.
I'd definitely appreciate it if this feature somehow made its way into this project and I think others might too :)

I'm evaluating different options for a similar need. All I want is for users to subscribe to receive an email when new content is posted for certain categories).
I am going to offer my vote for this, too. Until then, I will keep looking for a solution that doesn't require module-hacking :)
