Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi,
I'd like to create a functionnality of "search certain type of users".
- All my users are tagged (actually, it's their "user profile" which is tagged). Let's say a user is tagged as "guitare player"
- I have a content type : "classified advertisement". Let's say a user creates one and tags it "guitare player".
I'd like all my "guitare player" users to receive a message if a classified ad with that tag is created by any other user.
Is it possible with Subscribe ?
Thank you all.

salvisI don't see the connection between "tagged" and "cck"...
If your "tags" are taxonomy terms, why can't your users just subscribe to the terms that interest them? If they can't, you'd probably need to do some custom programming.

salvisFeel free to reopen if you wish to pursue this further...

elBradford commentedI would like to reopen this - We have an organization that is hierarchical. All content is tagged with a particular taxonomy term, the scope of the content. This is then visible to the user in a view I made up that relates the taxonomy of the user with the content and filters so that only content tagged with taxonomy terms the user is a member of will appear.
I would like Subscriptions to leverage this existing taxonomy stored in the user profile and simply use that for the subscription in addition to a depth setting so that they can be subscribed to articles tagged with terms that are parents to their current taxonomy.
I'm using Drupal 7 so I updated the issue accordingly.

salvis@elBradford: Let's let this old issue rest in peace.
Your feature request is for functionality that is very specific to your site. This belongs into a site-specific module. BTW, if you've implemented your restriction using node access, then Subscriptions will automatically use it.

You commented in #1 that "why can't your users just subscribe to the terms that interest them?" And I think that would be ideal. We have a view that uses the taxonomy terms from their profile data to sort them, kind of like a company directory. I can't get views to see subscription information, eg the terms/categories a user is subscribed to. Is this a views or subscriptions limitation or am I just missing something?
Comment #6
salvisSubscriptions would have to provide a Views integration. I think we have an issue in the queue for that, but so far no one had enough interest to actually do something about it. I'm not sure that would be enough to implement what you need though. This would probably still require some custom programming.
