FriendsOfFlarum Default User Preferences

ctml Great idea! Thanks for the tip.

ctml Of course that would overwrite any preferences currently set by the users, but they can always go back and disable them again if needed.

Yes, that's my thinking, I wouldn't usually be inclined to alter everyone's personal preferences, if it wasn't for so many of our users commenting that they're missing posts and expecting email notifications but haven't worked out how to set them themselves! I've got a growing push for our community to be moved to Slack, but this should settle things down until I can work out a true push notification solution.

FYI, if anyone needs to do something similar, you can't run a SQL query within a table that you're updating. There's a cheeky workaround as follows:

UPDATE users
SET preferences = (SELECT * FROM (SELECT preferences FROM users WHERE username = 'troymccann') as t)
WHERE username != 'troymccann'

I have the opposite problem

Now, by default in Flarum when new user register, the Email Notification with "someone posts in a discussion I´m following" is active. In my case I prefer it to be disabled by default (only the part for Email). I find it too invasive and spend some resources sending emails. If the user requires it, I prefer that he activate it himself

I think I remember that someone user create a small extension to leave this option by default deactivated for new users.
I've looked for it but I can't find it. Someone remember?
or I may have dreamed it?

Thanks!

lmx This should take your user preferences and set it to everyone else. The username != 'troymccann' condition makes sure all users except troymccann are selected.

@therealsujitk There's no option to enable emails on new discussions. Is there a way to email members when someone posts a new discussion?

EDIT: Ok. I used this extension and then updated all users' preferences. Email on new posts now works!

Walys I have the same problem. I prefer to disable all the email notification as well.

Then I found the way someone has tired to revise it to disable the default setting of email notification of the private disscusion extension:

`
use Flarum\User\Event\Registered;
use Flarum\User\User;
use Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher;

return [
function (Dispatcher $events) {
$events->listen(Registered::class, function (Registered $event) {
foreach (['post', 'user'] as $key)
foreach (['byobuPrivateDiscussionCreated','byobuPrivateDiscussionAdded','byobuRecipientRemoved','byobuPrivateDiscussionReplied'] as $key2){
$event->user->setPreference(
User::getNotificationPreferenceKey("{$key}Mentioned", 'email'),
true
);
$event->user->setPreference(
User::getNotificationPreferenceKey("{$key2}", 'email'),
false
);
}

        $event->user->setPreference('followAfterReply', false);

        $event->user->save();
    });
},

];`

1.1.0

• Add the ability for the forum admin to specify what the default settings for new users are
• Other extensions may register their defaults with this extension, to allow for additional default preferences

I plan to add support for this to various FoF extensions in due course. Feel free to request which FoF extensions you'd like to see support added in due course

Note: These default settings only apply to new users, and depend on what defaults are active at the moment on them joining the forum.

Updating

composer require fof/default-user-preferences:"*"
php flarum cache:clear

With fof/nightmode (1.3.3 or later)

Thanks for creating this extension. Works great.
