Please what is the best way to setup notifications for a specific drupal role and content type? I have installed the latest 4.x dev modules (notifications, messaging, notifications_extra) but its not obvious. Thanks for your help.

I would love this feature. Is anything related to this been made after a year?

The way i did this in the past is via specific code e.g. using $rid as ID of role:

function mymodule_subscribe_role($node, $rid)
{
  	$result = db_query("SELECT u.uid, u.name, u.status FROM {users} u
    	INNER JOIN {users_roles} ur ON u.uid=ur.uid WHERE ur.rid = %d
    	AND u.status = 1", $rid);
	while ($u = db_fetch_object($result)) 
	{
       		$account = user_load($u->uid);
	      	if (!empty($account->uid)) 
        		mymodule_notifications_subscribe_user($account, 'thread', 'nid', $node->nid);
	}
}

function mymodule_notifications_subscribe_user($account, $type, $field, $value) 
{
  	if (!notifications_get_subscriptions(array('type' => $type, 'uid' => $account->uid), array($field => $value))) 
	{
    		$subscription = array(
      			'uid' => $account->uid,
      			'type' => $type,
      			'fields' => array($field => $value),
    		);
    		notifications_save_subscription($subscription);
  	}
}

Has anyone been able to do it via interface?

Hi i had written a code similar to your code.. But my code is more of using notifications_save_subscription($subscription); to subscribe an array of users to a thread as its being created

My users in my array do get subscribed they also go into the queue but my emails to them dont seem to go out

Any Idea regarding this? Does notifications_save_subscription($subscription); send the notifications too if used on node insert? Or is there another function to trigger the actual sending?

Thank You

Ensure users have appropriate "subscribe to" permissions set under "notifications_content" section of permissions page.
