New Addon - Comment Subscriber

[mark]

Description:
This addon will let vistors to your site subscribe to a photo's comments.
When a new comment arrives, those visitors will be emailed a notification that a comment has occured on that specific image.

Important: You must have your comment_template.html set up to use "emails". If you do not have this modification/addon, this addon will not work.


STUFF YOU MUST DO:
Copy the addon 'subscribe.php' to your addon directory.

Then on your admin page, go to "addons" to setup your database. It's all automatic.

Add a checkbox to your comment_template.html. I have example code in the readme.txt

Just put it anywhere in the page you'd like to see it.

Now when visitors check the "subscribe" checkbox, they will be subscribed to those set of comments.

to subscribe, they must leave a comment and check the "yes" box.
to unsubscribe, they just check the "no" box and hit the submit button. They do not need to leave a comment.

There was an email bug in my original code. It would email you each time someone left a comment with your original message.

This has been fixed.

I like this addon

Im curious.

Would people want to be emailed anytime someone left a comment or just when the website owner left a response comment?

Not sure if its realistic to think that someone would want to be emailed a comment that someone else left...

What is everyone elses thought on this?

Its a relatively simple change to my addon..

If some special photographer uses this I'd like to read comments on his/her great photos. But I think it would not be very good for my photos

if you have a very vivid photoblog, you will keep an eye yourself, this email can be very annoying

I don't prefer all this mailing...
