Idea #6: Idea Notifications

  • Description

Written by peterro the 13 Apr 09 at 20:51. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
With our use model, the moderators who will be watching their assigned categories are likely not familiar with RSS subscriptions. Explaining how RSS works generates blank stares.

Solution #1: Email Notifications
Written by peterro the 13 Apr 09 at 20:51.
I'd like to have the ability to configure notifications for new and/or changed ideas to be sent to assigned email addresses. Even something as simple as a note that says you have new ideas to moderate.

I'd like it to be a list so that multiple addresses can be used for any individual category. Each category would be configured individually. The current configuration should be displayed on the category page so it is easy to spot (on one page) any categories that are/aren't configured correctly.

It might also be useful to have a configuration in much the same way that would cover all new/changed submissions. Of course you'd want this to be optional.

I think RSS by default and email optional.

Solution #2: Poster notifications
Written by peterro the 2 Jun 09 at 19:44.
Much like notifications for category subscribers, a user notification for changes to ideas they've submitted or updates to ideas where they've commented. This would be much like email notifications to forum posts that I've received in the past.

The message would say something like 'there have been comments or new solutions posted to your idea, you won't receive any further notifications until you review the current updates'.

The users of our environment likely won't be closely following ideas through their life cycle, but would want to be notified when there are updates.

This should be configurable per user.

Solution #3: Favorites for Categories
Written by eckes the 16 Nov 09 at 10:08.
You could allow E-Mail notifications for changes to Favorites (starred) entries. If you then add the ability to star categories, the email notes will come in automatically. (Some filtering is probably needed)
