Subscribing users to forums

[amphicar770]

Hi All,

As I understand it, subscribing to a specific forum will provide an email with a daily digest with the contents of new posts in that forum.

Is there a way that the administrator (me) can subscribe a given user to one or all forums? Can I establish email subscription to a specific forum by default when a new user registers?

Thanks.

You would need to run a query like this for every forumid (Y):

INSERT INTO subscribeforum
(userid, forumid, emailupdate)
VALUES ('[color=red]X[/color]', '[color=red]Y[/color]', '[color=red]Z[/color]')

Where X is the userid of the user, Y is the forumid of the forum, and Z is the number 0 (no email updates), 2 (daily updates), or 3 (weekly updates).

This should work. You will want to backup first.

Can I establish email subscription to a specific forum by default when a new user registers?

That would require custom code. For help with this I recommend you post on www.vbulletin.org.
