Description

I was really hoping this module would allow a user to choose it's notifications by assigned exposed filters... Is that possible?

This would be absoultely amazing...

Preferably on the view itself have a checkbox that says recieve notifications... of whatever configuration the user has chosen to view...

I'd even be willing to pay for this functionality...

Thanks

Daryl

This might be easier to accomplish with arguments rather than filters. If you're comfortable with PHP, one way you could do so now:

1.) Use Profile module to create profile fields for selecting the user's desired arguments.
2.) In Notify by Views, call the view using the {uid} token.
3.) Use the View's Argument Handling Code, to replace the {uid} token with the arguments stored in the user's profile.

Directly building this into the module is not likely in the near future, if at all, by natural development, but patches are welcome.

If you'd like to discuss customization and/or sponsorship, you may contact me via my Contact form or website.

So I'd really like to get this working but don't have much of any idea how... We've already paid for customizations to the subscriptions module... and still don't have it working for our site... so we X'd it...

All we're trying to get done is this...

When a person with the role "A" chooses there categories in the content type "1" which is actualy there biography... we want them to recieve future notifications based on the Term ID's they've chosen, but only when the newly posted things are of the content type "2" or "3"

Does this sound fairly simple?..

Can I do this via an argument?

We've been building this site for over a year now... and this funtionality is imperitive for our site to operate correctly...

We couldn't use subscriptions or notifications modules because we have over 100,000 different terms...

and it was to confusing for our users on the ui page...

If this is something that can be simply written via an argument and you like to help that would be awesome...

and if this would need to be done via module manipulation we will gladly pay for such an awesomeness...

Thanks

Daryl
