Okay I believe this is more of a feature request...

I noticed right now that a user can subscribe to specific content created by a user. For example:

* All Blogs created by user X
* All Books created by user doodlydoo

But...

I couldn't find a way to subscribe completely to a user as I can for all the content of a certain type. Maybe this is more of a feature request (I couldn't find another issue reporting this). I think it could be super useful if you wanted to follow a specific users work.

Thoughts?

I'm working on a patch (or custom module I'll post when I'm finished)

Yes, why not, but this would need to be a separate module, maybe subscriptions_user.module, because it's not common request.

If you decide to post it, please post it in the form of a patch to allow reviewing. And keep http://drupal.org/coding-standards in mind. :-)

Yep... I'm still trying to perfect it and once we finish up this project I'll release it. No worries on the coding standards and it'll definitely come as a patch :)

I called it subscriptions_author_ui since I noticed blog_ui so I tried to maintain that formating. Hop that's cool :)

@Shane.... any progress on the module? I'll be needing this soon as well.

a gentle bump in case this did make it to a shareable state - or is there a way to achieve this under existing configuration?

if not, am wondering if the 'subscribe to blog' code can just be tweaked to remove whatever filters it to blog content only

ShaneOnABike - happy to offer testing and review on this. No need to wait for it to be perfected - then there won't be any work left for us :)

Hey I don't have access to that server and forgot to copy the code in order to create a patch. I'm in the process to request the module I modified in order to provide it to everyone. I'm sorry for not providing that before.

This issue is partially addressed by the patch I just submitted for the Subscriptions Rules module that lets you specify the author UID to subscribe to (#2324097: Support node author UID input). This would allow you to manually set all content types for a particular user to be subscribed to.
