You know, I always meant to allow users to subscribe to threads without replying. It just never got put in the code... or did it and we don't have a link....

Hmm..that's interesting Brian!

Yes for email-notifications, not for bookmarking.

But it would effectively have the same function as bookmarking if there was such an option within subscriptions, wouldn't it?

Well, a user can view their subscribed threads list and use that for bookmarks I guess. That list is available in the CC already.

I hacked a bookmarking feature into the forum I run and the users really like it. It's a higher traffic forum in which subscribing to a thread has the potential of inundating you with email. I was able to use the subscription framework by introducing a new subscription type to pass into the phorum_user_subscribe function. Subscribed threads and bookmarked threads appear together in the control center. If you guys think it might be a useful feature, I could send you my code changes. (Unfortunately, I wasn't able to put it into a module.)

Clearly separated to see which ones you subscribed and which ones you bookmarked?

If you submit a patch just for this feature we could look at it for deciding if to include it.
Sounds like it doesn't need too many changes in the core-code.

At the moment, it's all displayed in the same table. Instead of saying "unsubscribe", the bookmarked threads say "unbookmark".

Thanks, I'll do that. I wasn't able to find anything in the docs directory about submitting patches... is it as simple as "cvs diff > my.patch"? Where should I submit it? (Sorry if this is documented somewhere...)

> is it as simple as "cvs diff > my.patch"

yeah, if you did use the cvs-version and have a checkout which you edit for that :).

Just send it to my email-address, I'll look through it.

So, you can have a look at the test forum.

[dev.phorum.org]

I have just commited my changes to the patch submitted by arlo. I merged Bookmarked threads and Subscribed threads into one thing called Followed Threads.
