If this is not in admin mode then see if the user wants email notification of a forum

why is this made like this?
i want to admin a user and add his subscribtion so he will get mail when post are made in our team forum. but i cant..

is there any specifik reason why you made it this way ?

The reason why the admin can't sign others up for forum notification is that users must do this themselves if they want email notifications of posts.

If they don't request this themselves then this could be considered as spam.

Having such a feature whereby the admin could force users to have email notification of all posts would be illegal in the US and Europe whereby anti-spam laws require that the user subscribe themselves to such a service.

Isn't it simpler just to tell your moderators they need to sign up to email notification?

-borg-, you can determine whether or not this should be posted due to the legality issues in the US and Europe.... I had the same issue in needing to send an email to a group (in our case, Technical Services) whenever a post was made in specific areas of our forum.

(All line references are approximations)

Sending email to a group by Category

/new_post.asp

Line 106 ADD
Dim intCatID 'Holds the cat ID

Line 108 ADD
intCatID = trim(Request.Form("cat"))

Line 1116 ADD (right after the two end if's)
'******************************
'***   Send Email Notification #2   ***
'******************************
strUserEmail=""
Select Case intCatID
'2 = Category 1
'3 = Category 2
'4 = Forum Rules
'5 = Internal Use Only
Case "2"
    strUserEmail=" mailto:group1@mydomain.com - group1@mydomain.com "
Case "3"
    strUserEmail=" mailto:group2@mydomain.com - group2@mydomain.com "
Case "4"
    strUserEmail=" mailto:group1@mydomain.com - group1@mydomain.com "
Case "5"
    strUserEmail=" mailto:group9@mydomain.com - group9@mydomain.com "
Case Else
    strUserEmail=" mailto:admin@mydomain.com - admin@mydomain.com "
End Select
if strUserEmail<>"" then
strEmailMessage = "*** TECH SERVICE EMAIL ***" & _
"<br /><br />" & strTxtEmailClickOnLinkBelowToView & " : -" & _
"<br /><a href=""" & strForumPath & "/forum_posts.asp?TID=" & lngTopicID & "&PID=" & lngMessageID & "#" & lngMessageID & """>" & strForumPath & "/forum_posts.asp?TID=" & lngTopicID & "&PID=" & lngMessageID & "#" & lngMessageID & "</a>"
'If we are to send the post then attach it as well
If blnSendPost = True Then strEmailMessage = strEmailMessage & "<br /><br /><hr />" & strPostMessage
    blnEmailSent = SendMail(strEmailMessage, decodeString(strUserName), decodeString(strUserEmail), strMainForumName, decodeString(strForumEmailAddress), decodeString(strEmailSubject), strMailComponent, true)
end if

/include/message_form_inc.asp

Line 66 ADD
<input type="hidden" name="cat" value="<%=intCatID%>">

/include/quick_reply_form_inc.asp

Line 201 ADD

vbCrLf & " <input type=""hidden"" name=""cat"" id=""cat"" value=""" & intCatID & """ />" & _

*edit: corrected my case statement... had a little PHP syntax mixed in

*edit #2: moved the entire code body to ~line 1116 to also allow for replies to topics.

*edit #3: ammendment of quick reply form
