Feature request - ability to track unread posts even if emailed #22

Closed aspark21 closed 10 years ago

Scenario: -forumng forum set to force subscribe -read tracking enabled on user profile -read tracking enabled site wide for forumng

Behaviour wanted: new posts get emailed out to students & stay marked as unread when they visit course

I've tried diving into the code for forumng and see if there would be an easy way of doing this in a similar way to core forums - https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=225450 - but it seems to me that the forumng architecture doesn't allow this as it would lead to email notifications being sent again instead of the intended change in behaviour.

Can I check that is correct and I haven't missed something obvious?

I guess a site setting for this would be more sensible than such a code but assume this would involve a bigger change.

As noted in other issue, Jason is away and may respond when he returns. However, have you tested it? I have a feeling that ForumNG already doesn't mark posts as read when they are emailed.

Hi Sam,

You do seem to be right about this. I should have double checked that.

Sorry for wasting your time

Thanks! Alistair
