My client's website visitors and commenters are confused regarding the various "subscriptions".
That is, they are confused about "blog entry" subscriptions and entire-blog subscriptions.
Do you have this documented somewhere?
How do users manage/understand what they subscribe to or have subscribed to?
Cheers,
G
Hey Gilles,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

The difference between "blog entry" subscriptions and Site wide(entire-blog) subscriptions is :
Blog entry subscription - someone comment on this blog entry, this subscriber will get new comment email notification.
Site Wide subscription - someone published a new post, subscriber will get new post email notification
Hope this helps.

By the way, we will create a documentation for this.

Yes, of course. I'm aware of this as it's obvious, but ...

1. in terms of where there is a "subscribe" button, for instance at the top of a post, it's not obvious that it's a post subscription until they click on it. (popup window then indicates such).
How do we change the text to "subscribe to this blog post" or something similar. Settings or language file?

2. How do we provide the option for users to subscribe to the entire blog?

Hi Giles,

How do we change the text to "subscribe to this blog post" or something similar. Settings or language file?

You can change the language string by going to your /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_easyblog.ini and search for the following string:
COM_EASYBLOG_SUBSCRIBE_BLOG="Subscribe"
// replace it with
COM_EASYBLOG_SUBSCRIBE_BLOG="Subscribe to this blog post"


2. How do we provide the option for users to subscribe to the entire blog?

You can use EasyBlog - Subscribe Module anywhere in your site so that users can easily subscribe to your blog site.

Thanks.
If someone subscribes to the blog and they're subscribed to a post by default (they have commented on a blog post), will they receive two emails?

Hi Gilles,

I am sorry for the late reply.

I believe this someone will receive an notification email on his site subscription and also he will receive an notification email on blogpost subscription.

Hope this helps.

Hey Gilles,

Yep, you will receive 2 different notifications. The first one confirming that you subscribed to the site wide blog while the second one, is a confirmation that you subscribed to the "post"

Thanks Mark,
My question was ... when a new post is created, will the user receive two email notification of the post? (not of the subscritption per se)
one post via email because they are subscribed to the post, and another for having subscribed to the blog?
or...
will they only receive a single email of the new post?

If they subscribed to both, they will / should only be notified once
