Hey Met4tron...
The email subscription works just like any other forum software; vbulletin, phpbb, simplemachines, etc. (default settings, with-out any "mods").
You have to be logged into your wiki and view the thread for the email subscription "flag" to be cleared (so you can receive more emails for thread activity). If you create a thread and someone posts two replies to your thread AND you never checked the thread while logged in, you will receive only one email.
Key thing, checking the thread while logged in.
Example...
You create a thread.
- Someone replies to your thread, you will get an email.
-- You check the thread while being logged in - your subscription "flag" is cleared.
- Someone replies to your thread again (second reply) (does not matter if it is the same person as before or a different person), you get an email
-- You do NOT check the thread after getting the email
- Another person posts a reply, you do NOT get an email because you never "cleared your flag"
-- You now check the thread while logged in, your flag is cleared
- Another reply is posted, you get an email
Thats how forum software works, its a forum, not email or IM-ing or chat software or a wiki article, but a forum.
If you want emails all the time, no matter if you "clear your flag" or not, try what Kenyu73 made.
Im sorry to say, but thats how the default code of the this forum will work. Ive been adding HOOK's (just like the HOOKs used in Mediawiki) so people can customize the forum to work how they want and not have to worry about re-editing the "mods" when there is a new forum release.

Correct.

Please post back if you are still having problems.

Resolved issue with getting this working....
|
To get this working, I did the following:
First, I had to assure that all users had an email entry in the wikidb:
USE wikidb;
SELECT user_email FROM user;
UPDATE user SET user_email='some@email.address' WHERE user_name='SomeUser';
UPDATE user SET user_email_authenticated='20100202000000' WHERE (user_email_authenticated IS NULL) AND length(user_email);
exit;
Next, have your users check that the email options are enabled:
http://WIKIADDRESS/mediawiki/index.php5/Special:AWCforum/member_options/getPMoptions
Finally, to assure that the subscription information is correct in the DB, have them remove and re-add their subscriptions via the MemCP.
This resolved all the problems that we were having at Minerva with the extension. Thanks for the patience with us, Joe.
