Thanks for the great module and the much needed update.
I guess much refined control of subsc type based on content type came with the recent update. The subscription type "author and content type" is indeed very useful, and I tried to use it for Blog entry content type in my site, but to no avail.
I first enable the UI option from notification settings (ss1.png); then with content subscription settings at "Set up for each content type", I edit the Blog entry content to show the 3 types of subscriptions on full node and teaser (ss2.png). But only Content Type and Author subscriptions are available, not the 3rd one (ss3.png).
Does anyone else have the same issue? Or am I missing a step in the configuration?
thanks

Review all the tabs for Notifications settings. There are some more, and also the permissions that could produce that result.

Hi Jose,
I checked (and attached a screeeshot) of the permissions. There is actually no permissions for "content AND author type". Might that be a problem?
At any rate, I will cross/double/triple check my settings, and test this at a fresh drupal installation. Will let you know how it goes.
In the meantime, please if you or anybody can reproduce this problem send out a message; save me the trouble :)
thanks for the great module

I can confirm this bug.
Content type and author does show up in the admin Notification settings, but does NOT show up for
* in the node display - link to "content type and author" is simply missing
* in the permissions - there is no permission for "content type and author"
I use organic groups, it that helps. And this is a bad bug for me, because this setting would be the only one to make blog subscription easy in my project.
Other than that, Notifications is a great module :) Thanks!

I have the same issue as well. It is not fixed in the latest dev version.

Same here. I'm not using OG.
I have enabled everything I can find. When looking at a user's profile, I see different subscription links depending on if I'm logged in as admin or as a normal user. For the normal user, all "type and author" subscription links are missing:

When looking at a node, it seems the subscription links are the same for both admin and normal user. But the "type and author" link is missing (if it's supposed to be there).

I am having the same issue. The only "Add Subscription" option is "threads" no matter what i do with permissions.
