Subscriptions

salvis - November 18, 2003 - 23:44

This module enables users to subscribe to be notified of changes to nodes or taxonomies, such as new comments in specific forums, or additions to some category of blog. Once enabled, all nodes will have an additional link that allows the user to change their subscriptions. Users have tab on their user screen to manage their own subscriptions. Users can also set an auto subscribe function which notifies the user if anyone comments on posts they have made. Admins can set this on by default.

The module has been rewritten from the ground up by chx and salvis, starting in November 2007 and completing in April 2008.

Please note: due to a bug on drupal.org, this modules shows up in the list for Drupal 6, even though there is no D6 version yet (see #235037: Critical errors in project_page_overview() query and logic).

Subscriptions 2.x is a modular framework, designed to be extensible in many directions. A number of add-ons are already available:

  • Author Subscriptions: subscribe to all posts by one author, also serves as an example of a simple third-party add-on.
  • CCK Fields (included): include values of CCK fields in your notifications.
  • Event Subscriptions: include start and end dates/times from the Event 5.x-2.x module in your notifications.
  • Moderate Content Notifications (included): spam deterrent — catch notifications as they are queued, unless the content is from a trusted source, and moderate them.
  • Organic Groups Subscriptions: fully-featured integration with OG; an ambitious third-party add-on.
  • Reduce Content Queue (experimental): suppress queueing of certain notifications until the user visits the site again.

Developer documentation is available at api.drupal-contrib.org/api/subscriptions, created by develCuy, sponsored by www.transit.york.ac.uk. Also look inside one of the component or add-on modules that has functions that you're interested in.
