Hi Kyle,

mail2og had a great feature that I am missing with OGM - a block on OG pages only visible to members which displays the group email address and a form to adjust personal subscription settings for the group - something like the hacked-together screenshot attached. I like the og_mailinglist/subscriptions page too, and perhaps the block could reuse the same code, but just displaying the settings for one group rather than all groups, including a link to the full list if people want to go straight there.

Cheers,

Tobias

Title: OG block displaying group email address and subscription settings » Create block displaying group email address and subscription settings

This is a great idea. Let's get this in before 1.0. If someone wants an easy patch to write, this would be a good one. If not, I'll get to this eventually.

Another setting I miss from mailman is "ack metoo" - allowing the user to decide to get a copy of his/her own messages by email. Nice way to confirm that your post has been distributed.

Not sure how that would be implemented... ogm already sends back to the person a copy of their email but clients will always filter it out because it has the same message-id as the email they sent out. You'd have to create a new email to send just to that person I guess...

For posts originating on the website, the author does get a copy of the email. This, btw, is how Google Groups works.

Thanks Kyle - this reinforces an idea I had last night that I shouldn't be using gmail mailboxes for testing this stuff because of the way it handles mail differently than a typical IMAP mailbox. I'll keep testing.

Cheers,

Tobias

+1 for the block idea - this would be a very useful and well appreciated feature. The easier we can make it for people to manage their own account the better.

Patch attached. Seems to be working k for me. Please give it a test.

The block will only show up when you in the context of a group that you are a member of.
