subscribe to a category

Halfhidden · October 10th, 2009, 03:02 PM

Hi, am I wrong in thinking that members can subscribe to comments within a category?
I was under the assumsion that they couldclick the Subscribe to Gallery link at the bottom of the chosen gallery and they will recieve emails about comments.
I can't seem to get this working.
Clicking on the individual photos and clicking Photo Options> Recieve email updatse works.

If I have misunderstood this then can I ask how members can subscribe to a category and get emails about comments.
Thanks
HH

Members subscribing to a category are notified of any photos or comments placed in that category.

This of course would require notifications to be turned on in admin as thats the master switch.

Thanks Chuck... All of that has been done. I'll take a closer look and see if the problem lies with spam filters of other client problems.
Have a good weekend

Are you recieving any emails from the system? maybe PHP mail is not working.

Yes emails are coming through as per normal... but only a small handful of members have tried to subscribe and they all share the same domain. I jus wanted to make sure that I was at least using Photopost in the expected way

Thanks again for your continued help

Still love this software... It's like being in a sweet shop with money to spend after using Coppermine for 18 months!

yeah if its all the same domain then it sounds like an email issue on there end especially if you are recieving email.
