Notification for create topic

Hi treut,

You have to adjust 2 settings:

1. Make sure your role is checked to receive notifications for both Topics and Replies under Admin > Settings > Forums > Email Notifications.
2. At the same section, make sure the Admin UI Topic Notifications and Admin UI Reply Notifications checkboxes are checked. That’ll force the notification checkbox to be on in the Topic/Reply editor screen

Note, however, that the notification checkbox in the Topic/Reply editor screen is only valid for when you click update in that screen. It doesn’t have to be checked for new topics/replies to be notified. That’s handled by the role checkboxes in the Email Notification section.

Cheers,
Vinny

What about the roles that are to receive notifications? Which ones are checked? I’m assuming you’re an admin – did you check that as well?

Authors don’t get notified of their own posts as of version 1.9.4.

/**
 * Remove topic author from the recipient list
 * @since 1.9.4
 */
$author_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id );

unset( $recipients[ $author_id ] );

I can add a setting to control whether authors get notified later this week.

Because it didn’t make sense to tell someone that he just posted something 1 second ago :). And there were a few requests…

Currently:

If X creates a topic, X does not receive a notification of the topic X created.

If Y answers X’s topic, X will only receive a notification of Y’s reply if X is part of the roles checked in Admin > Forums > Email Notifications > ‘Notifications about replies are sent to’

Forget about Admin > Settings > Forums > Email Notifications >Admin UI Topic Notifications. That’s only to control the default checked status of the ‘Send Notifications’ option in the Admin Topic/Reply editor.

X will receive a notification of Y’s reply if X’s role is checked in the Reply section of Admin > Forums > Email Notifications > Notifications about replies are sent to. It doesn’t matter if Y is anonymous or not.

Rule of thumb, leave both the Topic and Reply role checkboxes the same so that both topic and reply rules apply to the same users.
