    Posted: 12 January 2007 at 7:28pm
Hi,
 
I am new to the program. Have found it really easy to use and set up as an administrator. There is one issue which I can't sort out and am looking for help.
 
We are part of a Study Circle group with restricted membership. As a group we have decided what general forums we would like to have established within each category. We have just got the forum up and running
 
I would like to have notification of all topics or discussions posted from certain forums automatically sent to our Study Group in lieu of a  mass e-mailing each time. Currently the only way you seem to be able to do it is to actually have a specific topic listed and for the member to access that topic and to add in a subscribe to e-mail notification message. 
 
To be able to add a forum to your subscription list from the members settings link > 'Email notification subscriptions' the 'subscribe to Email notification of new posts' link only seems to appear once the member has actually subscribed to a topic or forum.
 
Is there a way to have this 'subscribe to Email notification of new posts' message appear even though you haven't subscribed to any postings yet?
 
Philatel

Welcome,
Your better off posting this in the support forum rather than this forum which is general discussion.

So long as your forum has the email settings all filled in then the 'toggle email notification' link should be available.
Handyman man?

Take a look at this post:
 
The post at the bottom is what I did to send an email to our Technical Services group when a post is made in our forums.  It sounds like our forums are similar to yours in setup, restricted access, etc.

This looks exactly like what I am after. As you correctly identified there are certain catagories or forums that I want to make sure everyone is notified when a posting is made to them (These are either administrative issues or issues that affect the group as a whole).
 
I will see if this works.
 
Many thanks

It has worked very well for us.  Just make sure you check your database to know which category is being posted in so you know where to send your emails.  You could change the code a little to allow for posting in specific forums, but in our case, it was more applicable to send emails to a group of individuals based the category.
 
If you use Outlook and Public Folders, you can even take it a step further and setup an email address pointing to a public folder, having any of these email transmission end up as "posts" in your shared public folder that the group can access.

Thanks. Your assistance is much appreciated. I have forwarded the information on to our web master who should be able to make the necessary changes . One of the prime functions will be to provide notification of publication of our Study Circle e-journal to the site.
 
Regards
