Notification / Subscribe to a view?

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.

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.

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.

subs, just what I was looking for

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...

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...

I ended up sponsoring a custom module for my site... so we will not be contibuting to this now... good luck....

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...

two similar projects are:
http://drupal.org/project/watch
http://drupal.org/project/notify_by_views

subscriptions seemed to break for me...however messaging and notifications did the trick and seemed to work great.

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 :)

Subscribing

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

Subscribing... need this feature, too!

Hi @BenK ;)
This feature will arrive soon ;)
I'll come back here to inform people ;)

Sounds Awesome.... We've been trying to put something like this together for a while.

check out Saved Searches... I does what we are all looking for

I don't think Saved Searches integrates with notifications either. Even though the view is saved it doesn't send emails or anything. Unless there's something I'm missing?

Hey Flying Drupalist,

Check out this link to read a description of Views Saved Searches and Notifications integration:

http://agenceinovae.com/en/views-saved-searches-and-notifications-integr...

But in my use case, I need to be able to subscribe users to a view without using exposed filters. It looks like Views Saved Searches requires that you expose filters to users (because users first need to save the filters before they can subscribe).

So perhaps parts of Views Saved Searches can be cloned for a more general integration that doesn't require exposed filters?

--Ben

What I've done is created a view that only has exposed filters showing... and utilizing the panels user override... embedded the view on the user profile page using panels tabs and labeled the tab notifications... the user chooses their notification configuration via the exposed filter configuration.. saves the search... opts to be notified of new posts... and is then notified via notifications for any new posts that fit their saved search... It's awesome.... my users can now be notified by taxonomy term, and proximity via location... we've been looking for a way to do this for years... Great Modules!!!

Daryl

Hi,
I confirm that Views_savedsearches module can send notifications, because I'm the sponsor of this enhancement ;)
It's work fine ;)
The project page on drupal.org is not updated yet
For notification on a view without exposed filter, I don't now how you can do it... Sorry ;)
Have a good end of year ;)
Bye

Subscribing, this would allow for truly custom notifications!

Subscribe, maybe I'd be interested in the implementation, we'll see.

similar functionality is there in sunmailer module, but I really like to see this feature in notifications framework :)

http://drupal.org/node/294268#comment-2343440

is the one what we are talking about???

Take a look at http://drupal.org/project/views_savedsearches

How can http://drupal.org/project/views_savedsearches be used to send users email notifications based on views?

Hi Jose,

Can you tell us if there is any plans to bring this functionality as a plug-in?

I think that it would enable users to generate messages such as an automated newsletter with all the latest content, or a list with all the most visited nodes in the last week, or the most commented, etc...

I have been checking the notifications_views plug-in but it actually does the opposite of what we are looking for, as it generates views with messages and notifications details (less interesting...).

Due to the interest shown on this thread I think that this functionality would be a killer feature.

I second that. I have been trying to figure out to set notifications on a view for some time. It just doesn't look it its doable without some significant programming.

If anyone has any ideas/thoughts on how to possibly start this, please let me/us know!

Thanks!

Shubshcribing.

Really need this! :)

subscribing - I need this too. Yay much.

subscribing... and hoping

I thought i was going to be able to do this but was disappointed to find out it was not possible.

With notifications and messaging I made a view that displays a block for the user which threads the user is subscribed to with thread title and a number when there is a new comment in the thread. The problem is that I have problems with sorting the latest comments from the different threads in the view?

Hi, Can you please explain how you got this view to work? LIst of nodes that the subscriber has subscribed to, right? Am desperately trying this for the past few days. Any pointer would be extremely helpful Thanks

Here is a screenshot of my view, It´s in swedish but you can probably figure it out.

Robert

Hi Robert,

Thanks for replying! Did try out exactly as you have it, after usign google translator to find out what nuvarande and sant were..:), but am still not getting any results. Am using this view to pull up 1) a list of all nodes of a particular content type, 2) all nodes of this type belonging to the categories the current user is interested in. The third view would have to be the list of all nodes among this list that he has subscribed to using the notifications module. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Attaching my screenshot of both the views 2 and 3..

Thanks a ton
