Forum Subscribe Question

Hi,

It wasn’t particularly clear to me from the Forum Subscribe docs how to create single subscription links. For example, I’d like a “Subscribe to this forum” button on each of the forums in my board. The example given in the documentation just lists all the forums.

Thanks a lot!

Hello Luke,

You must actually have the code in a template. In our forums we simply link to a page where you can subscribe which is an EE template. You could explore using embeded forums in templates and integrate that way. Haven’t tried it but it might be possible.

i’m still unclear on this, does the template code go in the forum templates? currently i have it placed in topics template and it’s not recognizing the code. could be related to the php error that i posted about in another topic.

You need to create a template within EE. What I usually do is create a template called:


forums and put {exp:forum} in it

Then I create another template called subscribe and put the example code in it.

This allows the members to subscribe.

i’m still a bit confused. i’m currently using a slightly modified version of one of the default forum templates. how does all this tie together? am i able to embed the ee templates with the forum subscribe code mentioned above into the forum templates or do they always have to reside outside of the forum template structure? ideally i would like for the forum subscribe link to exist on the topics page. does that make sense?
