Ability to change default settings for user notifications

[VIRUXE]

Pretty long title but I think it pretty much sums my request.

I ask this because I would like for my users to be notified by default whenever they are @mentioned.

Flarum is awesome. Thank you for your efforts. :)

Is there any temporary fix for this? I would like to have notification email settings enabled by default.

Is there also a way to update all existing users to have these settings?

@pixeldrift64 Apart from some manual SQL queries, I am afraid there isn't at the moment.

Are you interested in sending a pull request? We can guide you in the right direction if you need help...

It'd be awesome to be able to change this. My community hasn't been getting emails when I reply to their posts without explicitly following.

Discussion here: https://community.jaredwolff.com/d/430-possible-to-get-a-discord-going

Edit: looks like this extension will fix the issue: https://extiverse.com/extension/fof/default-user-preferences It works great for new users but doesn't apply to already existing users though..

@jaredwolff .. I think a command might solve this. Oh look at this, I made an example for you 🪄

https://github.com/luceos/flarum-extender-examples, see specifically the readme in that repository and:

• Command registration: https://github.com/luceos/flarum-extender-examples/blob/46588d1009f7c2c6b56974638318e3533ee4d7ea/extend.php#L17-L18
• Command class: https://github.com/luceos/flarum-extender-examples/blob/master/app/Command/DefaultUserPreferenceCommand.php

Call with php flarum user-preference --help eg:

php flarum user-preference --all 

The command needs a preference key and a new value. Sorry I need to go off, let me know if this works.

[jaredwolff]

@luceos you're the man. I'll give it a shot

I feel like I'm very close:

Running php 8.0 and Flarum 1.6.3

[luceos]

Make sure to read the readme, this means in your composer.json add the autoload information and run composer dumpautoload afterwards so that composer can resolve the Command you created in app/Command.

[jaredwolff]

Ahh! composer dumpautoload was the missing piece. May be worth a mention in the Readme. :)

[jaredwolff]

Ran these guys below.

php flarum user-preference --all postMentioned true
php flarum user-preference --all userMentioned true
php flarum user-preference --all followAfterReply true

Looked like followAfterReply worked. The email related ones didn't. Looking here to see if I can glean anything from how it was done there.

[jaredwolff]

Found the correct format here: https://github.com/flarum/framework/blob/fc4d5e3d434c12b848e6780831c1a137c1b70ad1/framework/core/src/User/User.php#L848

Ran

php flarum user-preference --all notify_postMentioned_email true
php flarum user-preference --all notify_userMentioned_email true

And that did the trick!

Thanks @luceos :smile:

[VIRUXE]

Just noticed this was still open.

@tobyzerner marked https://github.com/flarum/framework/issues/1152 as completed, with no reference commit/PR. But @jaredwolff apparently was experiencing the same "issue" a year ago.

I haven't touched Flarum in years. What would be the consensus for this now?
