Want to be notified by email when users post replies?

we've changed this before, but after our upgrade this is set back to not being checked. we want it checked by default. where can i do that? thanks!!

In your uploadphoto.tmpl make the selected one yes not no

if ( $Globals['usenotify'] == "yes" && $User['userid'] != 0 ) {
echo<<<PPPRINT
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}" align="left">{$Globals['pp_lang']['notify']}</span></td>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}" align="left"><select name="notify"><option selected="selected" value="no">{$Globals['pp_lang']['no']}</option><option value="yes">{$Globals['pp_lang']['yes']}</option></select></td>
</tr>
PPPRINT;
}

This is exactly how it is written in my uploadphoto.tmpl but at the gallery in uplaodphoto the notification is set on 'no' by default from the beginning. How come?

[Chuck S]

Are you altering the correct template?

There are two uploadphoto templates and two sets of templates regular and vb3enhanced.

[Anja]

All is set on 'yes'...

[Chuck S]

If all templates the code meantioned say selected="selected" on the yes option then yes will be selected

[Anja]

meanwhile notification for given comments in upload photo at the gallery is set default 'no'. I'm confused... or does it work only when Vb is integrated?

[Chuck S]

feel free to post a link to your gallery

Like stated notification is set to yes when they upload a photo. If you have not altered your template to allow yes to be default users need to select yes to be notified of comments on there photos.

Your template has not been modified according to this thread.

How can it be modified?

I'll read your awnser later, it's bedtime in this area now :-)

[Chuck S]

You need to edit the template as noted and make the change noted. You told me before you had done this?

Hi Chuck I had the same problem as above and have now swapped the yes and no (including print) around so that yes id default.
But, I hadn't noticed this setting until now and all of my members are asking if the pictures they put up can be changed from no comments to allow notification of comments. I guess this would have to be done in the database.. so would you be willing to explain where the value is in the DB so that I can change this on mass?
Thanks

No there is not. The notification system places an entry in the notify table for the userid and photo id when they select they want to be notified. Hense there is no special cheat query to run to do this since it has nothing to do with the photos table persay.

Never mind! That is a real problem when you have thousands of members

[Chuck S]

well then you where creating alot of notifications by a code mod you had done.

Yes I'm aware of that Chuck , I was referring to those pictures that were uploaded by members whilst the setting was at No. From your quote I pasted above it suggests that it's not possible to correct the No to Yes inform on pictures that are already in the database as it would means going through each individual image and changing the settings manually. That would be Mission Impossible as we have over 20,000 images. Just wished that there was a better way! Still it's my fault I should have seen this setting a long time ago!

No there is no program setting to go back and mass notify all photos.
