bbPress Custom Notification Emails

Love It - 0

bbPress includes a feature that allows users to subscribe to forum topics, meaning that anytime a new reply is posted to that topic, all subscribed users will receive an email alerting them of the reply. bbPress does not, however, provide an option to customize the contents of this email, so that’s what this extension for bbPress does.

With this simple extension for bbPress, you can customize the email that is sent out to topic subscribers when a new reply is posted to a topic.

Once activated, you will have two new options in Settings > Forums that will let you configure the email and subject to your liking. See the screenshot below:

    Perfect! I was looking for a way to customize the outgoing message.

    Had been digging in the code and bam, you sent me an update with this info / plugin.

    Thanks!

    Hello

    Is there an option to have email notification, with the checkbox, for the visitors not registered, please ?

    The comment in post or page use this method.

    Best regards

      The email notification system is provided by bbPress (not this plugin). All this plugin does it make it possible to modify the email that is sent out.

    Merci pour la réponse !

    Quelqu’un saurait-il faire une modification de ce type afin d’offrir à tout utilisateur non enregistré la possibilité de réception de notification ?

    Par avance merci

    Well done! I managed already by editing the core-files but obviously that wasn’t an option…

      I can point in the right direction for customizing the PHP, but only if you’re comfortable with PHP. Are you?

    • andreammz says:

      Yes, thanks!!!! You mean the php in the bbpress itself or in the other extensions?

      In the the bbPress Private reply extension.

    Great plugin! Just a couple questions…

    Where can I find a complete list of shortcodes (e.g. {author}, {title}, {content}, etc.) that can be used within the reply notifications form?

    Also, is it possible to change what appears at the beginning of the Email Subject? Right now it defaults to [Blog Name] regardless of what I put into that field.

    Thanks,
    Bill

      The email body supports: {author}, {content}, {url}.
      The email subject supports just {title}.

      The subject should allow you to change the entire thing, so if it’s not, that is probably a bug.
