Not sure what you mean. This will work for new members, regardless group you choose to be the member_group on your conf_global.php.

For example I want my group : group1 to follow content1 and my group2 to follow my content2 and when ever I change someone from group1 to group2 it will add content2 to the followed content

This is for new users only, sorry.

 

This plugin will allow admins to choose content (categories or items) to be automatically followed by new members when they create the account.

 

HI Adriano:

Works fine except for databases in pages for me.

1. I have multiple databases that are the type you like (categories and articles) and it only recognizes the first one.  Sure would be nice if a new tab appeared for my other 3 databases of this type.
2. In the selection tab for databases in pages it doesn't allow me to select more than one category to follow.

Otherwise it has been a big help.  Thanks.

I mean i need to BULK update the followed forums for all my existing users

No. This is for new members.

Thanks.

You could consider adding a batch update for those that find your plugin after having a lot of users  It would surely boost sales.

I don't think this is a good idea. Too heavy to handle. You may have groups with 100, 200, 10,000, 20,000 members, etc. Then everytime you can add or remove a category/forum, everything has to be redone. No, tks.

HI there.

1: It is right and was designed, due to a limitation, to show only the ARTICLES DB. It is on this plugin description:

 

Apps supported:

• Forums: forums and topics
• Downloads: categories and files
• Pages (limited to Articles DB): categories and articles
• Blogs: blogs and entries
• Calendar: calendars and events
• Gallery: categories, albums and images

2: Fixed. Your board is updated.

What's New in Version 1.0.1:

• Fixed the multi select options in Pages categories

Hi @Adriano Faria

Would you consider adding custom databases in the Pages app to the list of supported apps, in addition to the Articles?

Thanks

There was a restriction; not sure which... I'll try again for a future version.

What's New in Version 1.0.2:

• Added ability to follow Members

Really nice plugin, works out of the box.  It's one of those essential plugins that helps bring new content to the attention of new members.

Feedback: the ability to Auto-Follow Categories within a Pages Database instead of just Pages Articles would be awsome.  We have multiple Pages Databases making up some really content-heavy driven sections of our website, this would put that new content right in the Alerts and Emails of our new users.

I don't remember exactly which was the issue but I'll come back to try again in a near future.

Wonderful time saver!

Does it also work if the Admin uses the Add a new member function?

Thanks

Hi @Adriano Faria,  Since the upgrade to version 1.0.3, my registration is now broken and new users cannot register when the plugin is enabled.  The received error is "EX1048"

Can you please assist.

Thanks
