Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 23, 201510 yr Community Expert I just noticed that all my new members have this turned off: Can I turn that on as default? I couldn’t find where.
March 23, 201510 yr I would like a script to reset this for the entire userbase also. I think @Marcher Technologies had one for an older version of 3.4
March 23, 201510 yr It is the core_members.auto_track column but I'm not sure how to update it on a query.
March 23, 201510 yr I just noticed that all my new members have this turned off: Can I turn that on as default? I couldn’t find where. The default for any further registrations can be set from Admin > Members > Member Settings > Notifications, by clicking the 'Notifications Settings' button on that page.
March 23, 201510 yr Author Community Expert The default for any further registrations can be set from Admin > Members > Member Settings > Notifications, by clicking the 'Notifications Settings' button on that page.Mhh. I still don’t get. Or it doesn’t work somehow. The “groups to automatically follow all content” only saves one group, even though I have choosen several. Bug? Can anyone confirm?The default follow method was set to “One email per day” since I opened the board. But I guess that only kicks in when the group was correctly chose before, doesn’t it?

But I guess that only kicks in when the group was correctly chose before, doesn’t it?Report the groups issue, I can reproduce that.That however is completely unrelated to the default follow setting. I'm actually confused. The setting states:Default follow method for automatically following content replied toWhen it only appears to affect "Method to use for content I follow automatically" and not the "Automatically follow content I reply to" notification configuration for a new user, the latter defaults to disabled.Not sure if bug or bad verbiage in language string.
March 24, 201510 yr Author Community Expert Bug reported. But regarding the defaults I am more puzzled than when I started this topic. I just tried it with a test account. The settings under “Notification settings” don’t turn on the default member’s settings for “Automatically follow content”. So this is intentional then or a bug? Members need to actively turn these options on here and this cannot be pre-set by the admin? And if is not a bug, what is the selection “Groups to automatically follow all content” in the ACP supposed to do then?
March 24, 201510 yr The default for any further registrations can be set from Admin > Members > Member Settings > Notifications, by clicking the 'Notifications Settings' button on that page.That setting will make that group follow all content posted to the community not just their own?"Selected groups will automatically receive notifications for all new content "

March 24, 201510 yr Author Community Expert The defaults only apply to new members, they will not update existing member preferences.Sure, makes sense. But I tried that with a new account as well and couldn’t see an effect. Is “Groups to automatically follow all content.” (ACP) supposed to turn on “Automatically follow new content I post” (Member setting) for new members of the selected groups?
March 24, 201510 yr Community Expert That setting in 3.x worked in the back-end without showing any visible change on the front-end. Even if you didn't choose to subscribe that setting would force you to receive a notification regardless without changing your settings. Not sure if that was supposed to change for 4.0.

And another comment which leaves me even more puzzled about what these settings are meant to do and how they interact.
August 18, 20159 yr Hi Same problem here, it is not very clear in the ACP we would also like to have users automatically follow topics they have created, or topics they have replied to this is a must have so how can i set this for all members ? Tx a lot
August 20, 20159 yr No idea anybody ? i cant believe there is no solution for this, as this so important to boost a forum activity
August 21, 20159 yr i have used this for 3.xhttp://pastebin.com/XYswSZL8for a array... sure a way to do this for 4.x there is.
August 21, 20159 yr i have used this for 3.xhttp://pastebin.com/XYswSZL8for a array... sure a way to do this for 4.x there is. for auto track on 3.xPer settare in automatico la notifica mail delle risposte agli utenti è necessario lanciare la query direttamente sul database ALTER TABLE members CHANGE auto_track auto_track VARCHAR( 50 ) NULL DEFAULT 'XX'; UPDATE members SET auto_track='XX';Cambiando le XX con uno dei segueti valorinoneimmediatedelayeddailyweekly
August 22, 20159 yr Tx BoomaleI would pay for a plugin or anyting able to perform this for 4.X as this it can make the difference for a board so much !
July 20, 20168 yr yes this plugin works like a charm i cant understand why IPS didnt offer this option at first either
