  • FriendsOfFlarum Default User Preferences

ctml I was looking into that. Where are they in the database? Closest I could see was preferences stored in a binary blob?

      troymccann yeah exactly you got it, the preferences column in the users table. The simplest solution would probably to just set the defaults you'd like on your own profile via the flarum GUI and then run a simple UPDATE to set everyone elses to that. Of course that would overwrite any preferences currently set by the users, but they can always go back and disable them again if needed.

      UPDATE users
SET preferences = (SELECT preferences FROM users WHERE username = 'troymccann')
WHERE username != 'troymccann'

          ctml Great idea! Thanks for the tip. 👏

          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!

                  troymccann
                  Looks like this statement is just for a single user. How would I update all users?

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

                      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.

                          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();
    });
},

                          ];`

                            r4nchy the extension has no settings, it just does what is described in the first post when enabled.

                              • 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.

                                Thanks for creating this extension. Works great.

                                Is there a way to modify the extension to allow setting all email notification off for new registered users in default setting?

                                Will it be updated? An option can be added to interfere with the notifications of previously registered users. We can apply it to new members and old members.
