Hi Boone,

Thanks

Anton – What version of BP and GFS are you using?

I’ve been using your plugin for a couple of weeks now and found this problem.

Once a user is subscribed to the forum post and they click on unsubscribe, if someone creates a new forum topic, they are subscribed again. If they go to notifications and switch off the notifications for the specific group, it doesn’t help. As soon as a new forum topic is started they get the mail of the forum and they are subscribed.

Anyway to fix this?

Oho! I never would have figured that out on my own. I wonder what was getting in the way.

Thanks a million, Ray!

I had the same problem with the add_submenu_page function and thought I’d post it here.

Boone, you have to change the priority of your add_action to something higher.

add_action('admin_menu', 'gfs_group_forum_subscription_menu',30);

This will fix the problem.

Thanks, I’ll test the trunk version.
Another comment: mail sent seems to be plain text but contain HTML tags. It’s quite bad for reading. I saw on the codex that the wp_mail_content_type filter must be used to send the mail as HTML. I tried to patch your wp_mail call, but cannot found any example for adding a filter on wp_mail_content_type on the web…

Hi David,

Thanks for finding the translation bug. It’s been fixed in the trunk. As long as the translation exists in the .po file (I think it does), it should now work in the plugin.

I found this thread http://buddypress.org/forums/topic/add_submenu_page-_file_-problem that talks about the problem you’re having. It seems to have something to do with the fact that you’re not running BP in the standard directory. On line 131, you might want to try playing with the final ‘group_forum_subscription’ – replace it with ‘admin.php?page=group_forum_subscription’ or some variation on that.

Thanks for the trunk. There is still a string (in the .PO yet) not well translated : New activity…. (email title).

Yes the Welcome Pack link is ok : /bp/wp-admin/admin.php?page=dp_welcomepack

The trunk is available here http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/group-forum-subscription-for-buddypress/download/ (Development Version)

Does the link for the Welcome Pack admin panel work?
