Version
2.0 RC4

Description
In the profile notifications page, each user can set the "For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me: " to Instantly, Daily or Weekly.
The summary email notification that is currently received by the user has the subject of the new posts or replies to existing ones.
However, there is no link to the posts themselves and therefore, not much use.
The Mod should make the email notification to have a hyper-link to each post and maybe even the first 5 lines of the post.

Permissions
A feature for all members.

Feature Set
An Admin option should enable or disable this for all users.

If you go to Admin>Features and options>General, is "Don't allow post text in notifications" checked?

"Don't allow post text in notifications" was checked but i cleared it and just had the daily message and it has made no difference.
I though this just controlled the notifications for PM messages anyway.
In any case i think my original mod still needs to be done.

Yeah, I'm just a bit puzzled, with this.

On my forum and every SMF forum that I'm a member of, I DO get links.

So, I'm suspecting that one of your settings is squiffy.

Either an admin one, or a profile one.

I get links if the notification is instant ie if "For topics and boards I've requested notification on, notify me:" is set to Instantly, but not if it is set to daily or weekly summary!!!
Does yours work with it set to Daily?

I have checked all other settings and they all are ok as far as i can tell.



kat

Ah!

That's where I've boobed.

Nope, never done one of those.

Sorry, Ramins. I must've been in "Senile" mode, there. :(

This feature is definitely needed - links in digest emails.  Is anyone working on something like this?
