Hi there
Which module(s) should I use to get
a notification if a new node was posted / changed in a VIEW
thank you!
#1
I am not sure this is possible, but it would be a nice feature.
If a new display called notification could be provided to views2, so views could expose themselves to the notification system.
#2
Subscription to views is a good idea. This would also make it possible to get notifications on flagged nodes (flag module) and nodes added to node queues.
In fact, being able to subscribe to views would make to whole thing a lot more flexible.
#3
Perhaps the best way to do this would be to make a 'notification' display type in views2 so that the administrator could create certain views that the notification system could pick up. Otherwise the end user may be overwhelmed, if all the different views are presented and available for subscription.
#4
i think it would be the best if i could tick an option "make this view available for notification"... maybe even with the option "for certain role(s)"
#5
subs, just what I was looking for
#6
subscribing. I would really love to see this happen.

I think many people have wanted this for a very long time... I think we should gather all the money we can to pay for development... I'm willing to put in $50.00 to start...
#9
My preferred deployment would be to have a link (Receive notifications of new posts) on the view page and as the user changes the results via changing exposed filter selections they can subscribe to new posts within their selected results...
#10
I ended up sponsoring a custom module for my site... so we will not be contibuting to this now... good luck....
#11
any chance that you make this custom module available to drupal.org? I have been sponsoring quiete a few modules lately and made them public too... it's kind of a nice move to do.
thanks!

Subscribing. I'm trying to set up a job alerts system that notifies users of vacancies that match their criteria. Using Notifications as a filter on the view would be awesome.

So are you saying that now you can only subscribe to a node, and not a view, because a view is similar to pages. So intern you would be subscribing to multiple pages?

this would be really useful for my site too...
#19
two similar projects are:
http://drupal.org/project/watch
http://drupal.org/project/notify_by_views
#20
subscriptions seemed to break for me...however messaging and notifications did the trick and seemed to work great.
#21
JoshuaVP, you managed to combine Views and Notifications in a way so that people can subscribe to a View and receive notifications for it?
Would love to hear how you did that :)

While thinking about this issue (as DanielJohnston, in the light of a Jobsite with Agents for people to create), i found a few things:
- there is very old functionality called "mixed" subscriptions. It was created for 5 and is a GUI over the fact that notifications actually is capable of having multiple triggers per notification. In the new 6.x.1.2 release (and in notifications_addons) there is a sample of this where an admin can create pre-defined notifications. If this functionality could be extended for individual users to use, you would be a long way.
- Before I found this thread, i was thinking of combining the previous with Faceted Search or Advanced Search. Search is the perfect interface of building up a query. You select fields, some taxonomy perhaps, some node-types and press a button. If there could be a button on the results page that said: "Get Notifications when we find more Thingies like this", and that button would seamlessly create a mixed notification, that would make life real easy for a user.
The nice thing about views off course is that it is a sort of universal workhorse for creating lists. The 3 main search modules (core, faceted, solr) all have a different interface, so it might be a bit more difficult to come up with 1 solution for them.
Just thought I would share some thoughts while we wait for someone to pick up this task :-)

Hi,
I would like to have the same fonctionnality...
The modules proposed by @ju.ri are not compatible with Drupal 6 :(
I'm testing notifications with notifications_addons but I don't know how it's work :(
If you have an idea ???
Thanks for all ;)
Bye
