Products.PloneboardSubscription enables users to subscribe/unsubscribe to email notification to a Ploneboard forum or a particular conversation,
and has an option to automatically add as subscriber a member adding a comment to a conversation.
A "Subscribe/Unsubscribe" link is provided on the forum or conversation and if the user chooses to subscribe, any further comments made to the forum or conversation triggers an email.
The product creates a tool "portal_pbnotification" at the Plone site which contains some parameters that can be set:
- debug mode : if checked, mail is not sent but only logged !
- send interval : in seconds. The email contains modifications done during the last send interval.
- last sent : int time of the last send verification (not to be manually changed...)
- html mail format : must be checked if the email template contains html.
- mail template : the mail template can be plain text or html.
- The following special parts will be replaced:
- [PORTAL_TITLE] : by the portal title
- [URLS] : by the modified conversation urls
- [FORUMS] : by the modified conversation urls and the corresponding forum (only in html format)
- [COMMENTS] : by the modified conversation urls, the corresponding forum and the new comments (only in html format)
