Wanting all users to receive email notifications on new posts

richpav

I need to change settings so that all forum members get the email notification of any new posts. What is the best way to do this?

Welcome to the community!

What version of Vanilla are you running?

Thanks for any help.

@LucasKA I pulled these from the list of configuration options on the repo

$Configuration['Preferences']['Email']['ConversationMessage']   = '1';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Email']['BookmarkComment']       = '1';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Email']['WallComment']           = '0';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Email']['ActivityComment']       = '0';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Email']['DiscussionComment']     = '0';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Popup']['ConversationMessage']   = '1';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Popup']['BookmarkComment']       = '1';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Popup']['WallComment']           = '1';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Popup']['ActivityComment']       = '1';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Popup']['DiscussionComment']     = '1';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Email']['Mention']               = '0';
$Configuration['Preferences']['Popup']['Mention']               = '1';

add the ones you need to your conf/config.php file, 1 = true 0 =false

I'll see if that works out, thanks a ton.

I believe advanced notifications cover this, in hindsight I think you may need to search around about for configs for them

LucasKA

In all the docs, anything to do with the config file is non-existant

I method that could work would be the following, changing the default row value for preferences for users to the value taken from a user who has advanced notifications for all the categories you want.
