Group Forum Subscripton for BuddyPress

Description

** Use of this plugin is not recommended in versions of BuddyPress 1.2 and higher. Please consider using BuddyPress Group Activity Notifications instead: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-group-activity-stream-subscription/. A conversion script for converting subscription data from this plugin to that one is coming soon **

Features:
Users can subscribe to individual discussion topics from within BuddyPress;
Users can subscribe to discussions on a group-by-group basis;
Users are automatically unsubscribed from a group’s discussions when they leave the group;
Administrators can subscribe all users to the appropriate forums with a single click (potentially handy for first-time setup);
Administrators can toggle whether email notification is turned on by default;
Administrators can toggle whether posters receive notification of their own posts.

Running BP < 1.1?

If you plan on having your members use the bbPress interface in addition to/instead of the BuddyPress forums interface (something you can only do if you are running bbPress in a separate installation, which means you’re almost certainly running BP < 1.1) do the following steps as well:

  • Upload bb-group-forum-subscription to [bbpress-directory]/my-plugins
  • Activate the plugin on the bbPress admin page
    In [bbpress-template-directory]/topic.php, replace the code
    user_favorites_link();
    with
    user_favorites_link( array(‘mid’ => __(‘Subscribe to this discussion’)),array(‘mid’ => __(‘Unsubscribe from this discussion’)));

Installation

  • Upload bp-group-forum-subscription.php to /wp-content/plugins and activate it on your main blog (the same one where BuddyPress runs)
  • If you’re running bbPress as a separate installtion (probably with BP < 1.1), upload the directory bb-group-forum-subscription to your bbPress plugin directory and activate the plugin in the bbPress administration panel

*** Optional setup steps ***

  • In the Dashboard of your main WP blog, you’ll find Group Forum Subscription under Settings. On that page, you can configure various behaviors of the plugin
  • The Setup button on the admin page will subscribe every member of your community to every discussion topic in every group they belong to. Don’t press the Setup button unless you are SURE you want this to happen!
