Views Saved Searches is listed on the http://drupal.org/project/notifications module page as a module that uses the Notifications module. I am hoping that this means, once someone saves a search, they can choose to be notified when a new node meets that criteria.

Is this the case? And if so, how/where do you manage that function? I have searched all through the Views Saved Searches admin and cannot find how/where to setup the integration with the Notification module. There isn't much documentation on the VSS module, to explain any integrations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's exactly the case what you described! You can achieve that.
Just enable "Views Saved Searches Subscriptions" module. Grant 'subscribe to views savedsearch' permission to the proper roles. And after that a subscription link should appear.

Ahhhh, I found it! I feel pretty retarded now! I saw the main module under the "Views" group and did not think to look for a second module in the "Notifications" group.

Thanks for pointing to a second module Aron! May I suggest that maybe the two would be better suited in it's own grouping, since there are more than one module? I can't imagine that I'm the only one that has failed to find it.

BTW, thanks for taking this module over!! It promises to be very useful in many different applications!!

Sorry for being so stupid but can you please explain exactly how to use this module with Notification module? I dont see any links in the search results from view forms (and have been quite confused with Notification module to begin with)...Thank you for your help.

There is a new module to enable "views saved searches notifications" I think it's in the notifications package of modules... Then when user saves a search, it has the ability to get notified for any new item in the view! Difficult to get more simple than that ;)

Hi,
Excuse me I'm French and I don't speak english very well ;)
@blueblade you must activate Views_savedsearches for views on which you wish to add this feature
To do that go on this page :
/admin/build/views/tools/saved-searches
You can select wich views you wish to add saved searches form ;)
Go on your views page, search one thing, and you will get a textarea for saved searche.
When your first search will be saved, you will see a form ti subscribe
Excuse me for my english :(
if you do not understand what I said, I can start another once ;)
Bye

I would like to re-open this as I have done everything above but my test user is still not receiving notifications when the saved view contents change (a new node is added).

To recap:
I am using:
Drupal 6.20
Views 6.x-2.12
Saved searches 6.x-1.0-beta4
Views saved searches subscriptions 6.x-1.0-beta4
Notifications 6.x-2.3
Messaging 6.x-2.4

Modules enabled (above and beyond those required by VSS):
- Simple mail (messaging)
- Content notifications (notifications)

Permissions set for user (via authenticated user group):
- maintain own subscriptions
- manage own subscriptions
- subscribe to content
- subscribe to content type
- subscribe to views savedsearch
- use views savedsearch

Settings
- Relevant view is selected to enable saving searches
- Default messaging is set to simple mail
- Default interval is immediate
- Cron (via poor man's cron) runs every hour
- Enabled events are 'viewsnewitem:new' and 'node creation'
- Notification settings - 'use global settings' and 'content type' only

Observations and process:
- User can filter a view via exposed filters
- User can save the search
- User can subscribe to previously saved search
- Operator adds content to site relevant to saved search
- Operator checks view - new content in view (a node) appears on page two of the view
- Operator checks subscriptions queue - NOTHING IN queue
- User checks view manually - new content is visible
- Operator runs cron manually - no e-mail receives

Note: via a triggered rule user receives e-mail when the new node is created.
Note2:I tried the 'version 4's' of messaging and notifications - no different.

Any thoughts / advice folks PLEASE? Any advice on debugging this (assumption: my configuration is complete) would be very much appreciated - client has been promised feature by person writing this message ;-)

Thanks

Adam
