Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 16, 20168 yr I understand the status updates permission, but why do people with permission have to enable it? If someone doesn't want to post a status update, they simply will ignore the box to do so. I don't think enabling or disabling it is necessary. Of course the option to do so is fine, but by default it should be on. I've had at least 30 people on my forum message me and ask why they don't have permission to post status updates. All I've been able to do is explain... go to your profile, edit profile, enable, etc...
April 17, 20168 yr Author @Adriano Faria any plans to update Enable or Disable Status Updates Globally?

April 17, 20168 yr Author Yeah, I get that. I'm using the 2nd plugin chili linked but there are many users who registered before I added it that are still disabled.
April 17, 20168 yr Didn't realize that plugin was old. You could probably do a mysql query to solve that.

To enable status updates for all members, run the SQL query UPDATE core_members SET pp_setting_count_comments=1; That should enable status updates for all members, even if they have manually disabled status updates. DISCLAIMER: I haven't tested this query, and take no responsibility if it makes your server explode. It ought to work though.
