First off, I love the module, this should be included in core already, but now it's a must have, and included in my Top 10 Drupal Modules for Every Site.

The only shortcoming I see in this module is something that could likely be easily added/corrected.

I'd love to be able to as a node author be able to automatically subscribe to all comments to my new node. As it is now, I need to comment on the node, and then select the checkbox.

I think it'd be great for myself, and MANY other site authors to have this checkbox included on the node creation/edit page as well.

I'm using the default of "Subscribe to node instead of subscribing to comments.", so this is very important to have so I know when the first comment was sent. Usually after a comment, I'll reply back with a simple thank you, more information, etc. but just need it so when I first create the node, I can specify that I want to know when EACH comment is posted, even if I haven't commented.

My apologies, it looks like this is somewhat of a duplicate of this post for the 5.x line.

And to that poster, this is WAY better and easier to use than the subscription module, very simple and what most users are accustomed to using from message boards, and other blog types.

Yes I see this feature in the new release, however, the option is not automatically checked upon node creation. Is there any way for an option to enable auto enabling?

Hello,

I'm still wondering.

As the option is not automatically checked upon node creation, is there any way to auto enable this option for all users who publish on the website ?

Thanks a lot.

I believe this is the feature we are all waiting on.

We should just be able to change the default to TRUE somewhere and it should work.

new comment_subscribe.module-default-enable-subscribe-for-new-nodes.patch551 bytes

I made a patch to enable the auto-subscribe for new nodes.
In the file comment_subscribe.module is a line that queries the subscription state for existing nodes and returns an empty value if someone creates a new node.
So if $subscribestatus is empty (new node) I set it to 1 so that the box is checked by default.

see the attached patch against version 6.x-1.x-dev. Just drop it in your comment_subscribe folder and execute "patch -p0 < comment_subscribe.module-default-enable-subscribe-for-new-nodes.patch"

It would be nice to configure this in the settingsmenu, but I'm too lazy for this now ;)

regards,
magenbrot

I apologize for my ignorance but how to do you run

"patch -p0 < comment_subscribe.module-default-enable-subscribe-for-new-nodes.patch"

on a shared server?

magenbrot commented

hm, it won't work directly without shell access, but you could download all needed files to you local box and patch it there. Then reupload it to your server.
If you use windows you'll not have a program patch, you'll have to install it with cygwin or something I guess.

Another method would be to manually integrate the patch, this requires an editor like notepad++ :)

Hi,

It seems that we have to forget this comment and use comment_notify instead, so I hope that it's possible to let node authors to subscribe to all comments.

http://drupal.org/project/comment_notify

Thanks for the great module anyway !

It has been decided to merge Comment Subscribe module with the Comment Notify module as both currently have the same set of functionalities. We have stopped our support here and will be providing our support at the Comment Notify issue queue. To help you seamlessly migrate to Comment Notify, we have provided an easy migration pathway using the last update - 6.x-1.4. Migration instructions are provided at the Comment Subscribe project home page . Once again thank you all for your wonderful support and contributions towards this module. See you all at the Comment Notify issue queue :-)
