Dear Joe, in case you read this: Thanks for this plugin! Is there any way to limit the summary emails to the categories the user actually selected as opposed to “all categories on the server”?
But: Is there any way to include the private messages in the daily summary? If one puts “Send me an email when someone messages me” to “never” in order not to receive other emails, one also doesn’t receive private messages via mail at all
What you’re saying is that if someone says they don’t want to receive emails for PM’s, they don’t get emails for PM’s. That sounds right. Or do I misunderstand?
“Send me an email when someone messages me” (actually means “… when there is a new post in a category I watch/follow”)
“Send me an email when someone quotes me, replies to my post, mentions my @username, or invites me to a topic”,
When I enable “daily summary”, I don’t want to get every message about every category I watch/follow via mail in parallel, right? Because that’s the point of a daily digest.
In order to achieve that, I put 1 to “never”. Then I only receive emails, when somebody replies directly to one of my posts, mentions me or invites me to a topic (2).
Now when somebody sends a private message, that one is not covered by 2, so I won’t receive it, until I visit the website. Why would I do that, since I receive all post via daily digest?
When I deactivate “Send me an email when someone messages me” I don’t receive any notifications for any groups anymore. Is there maybe some other setting that interferes here?
Do you mean “any emails” or “any notifications” ? Sorry for the hair-splitting but it makes a big difference. The settings we’re discussing right now determine whether a notification generates an email. They should not interfere with the actual notifications being generated.
I suppose that “someone messages me” also includes group messages.
Even if they not directly address you, but you’re just watching/following a category, yes.
Question remains: How does one receive one digest email per day, no separate mail for every topic and some kind of mail for personal messages send directly to himself/herself?
It seems to be, this plug-in isn’t compatible with this theme component: Search banner theme component - #61 by awesomerobot
The problem appears at the 2.9.0.beta1 Discourse version. It’s described in the last posts of the topic. After turning discourse-mlm-daily-summary plug-in off, search banner started working correctly.
Does this plugin include reply-to addresses for each of the topics included? In our community, we have a number of email-only users who actually do not wish to visit the forum via the Discourse web interface, but they would like to be able to reply to a particular topic if they choose to do so.
Currently, the only way to do this is if they have a notification email to reply from. Presently, I am instructing such users to enable the “Send me first post notifications” on all categories that they might wish to reply to.
However, it would seem cleaner if that functionality existed from within this plugin, without requiring them to receive additional “starting-point” emails they don’t otherwise want. For example, if they wish to modify the notification status for a particular conversation (by replying track, watch, or mute,) can they do so from summary emails generated by this plugin?
It worked. With these settings I receive daily digests and notifications of private messages. I still receive digest entries for every category, that I didn’t explicitly mute, but I guess that’s just a feature, right?
