Implementing s2_taxonomies

    I’m sorry this is a total noob question but I would like to use Subscribe2 to allow users to receive email posts when a post has been assigned a particular tag. I reviewed an earlier support post that showed that the s2_taxonomies filter from the API would do this. The code referenced was the following.

    function my_taxonomy_types($taxonomies) {
    %taxonomies = array('post tag');
    return $taxonomies;
}
add_filter('s2_taxonomies', 'my_taxonomy_types');

    My problem is that I have no idea where to put this code in order to implement it. I’ve tried putting the code in my theme’s function.php code and have also created what I believe to be a plugin extension but I’m not sure if that’s right or where to go to see if it worked.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi jwbergy,

    either location should work, plugin or functions.php

    You can try email log plugin to see whether email is generated when you add the category to the post

    tanaylakani,

    Thank you for the response. I’m not sure I understand though. My goal is to allow my users to subscribe to particular tags and receive emails when new posts are published with those tags. I was under the impression that the above code would help facilitate that. If that is true, my problem is that I’m not sure what else I need to do to get it so that I can match subscribers to tags. I this something I can do in the subscribe2 user interface or do I need to do that somewhere else. Sorry if these are silly questions but I’m new to trying to extend the functionality of word press and word press plugins.

    @jwbergy,

    The code you pasted above contains syntax errors – a % instead of a $ on the first line of the function.

    Also, the slug name for the tags should probably have an underscore instead of a space.

    Thanks mattryrob,

    I fixed those errors and have activated the code as a plugin extension. I’m not sure what to do next to set up my subscribers to receive emails based on a post’s tags. Do I have to do something in the code are should there be additional options in the admin console? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    @jim,

    Once registered you should see that the ‘category’ names have changed in the Subscribe2->Your Subscriptions page. That’s it.
