Feature Request: Subscribe to all discussions in a namespace recursively

[ghost]

Currently you have to subscribe discussions per page. We have namespaces for e.g. teams or topics.

It would be helpful to subscribe for the whole namespace when subscribing on a start page.

It's not convenient to subscribe to every single page of a topic you are responsible for.

There are two ways of subscribing:

• per discussion thread on a page, with the checkbox below the comment field.
• or using the subscription of DokuWiki itself, which subscribes you to changes, both, on that page and the comments to the discussion thread on that page. DokuWiki's subscription mechanism allows to subscribe to namespaces as well. However it is available for logged-in users only. You can enable it with the subscribers config setting, it disables the subscribe checkbox below the comment field for the logged-in users.

Does Dokuwiki's subscription mechanism fit for you?

Thank you for the information! Does the dokuwiki subscription work recursively for subnamespaces?

I think notifying for every change is too much. The goal is that the right person gets notified if somebody asks a question for topic xy.

Could you maybe implement a button to subscribe the whole folder/ namespace?

See description of DokuWiki’s subscription page: https://www.dokuwiki.org/subscription

what do you mean with button? It is now a checkbox.. Probably you like to see as well were you are subscribed, so together probably some work..

I could not find anything about recursivity in the description… I will try it myself next week at work.

I mean a second checkbox for subscribing all discussions in the whole namespace recursively. Maybe we could display it if the page’s basename is „start“ only.

The checkbox remains checked, so you see if you have subscribed to a page/namespace later, right?
