Hey all,
I was wondering if some of you bright bulbs may be able to help me.
I have a forum I built that is 100% Witango. It has close to 8,000 members
and is fairly busy. I have several tables set up for the forum which include
usertable (login, email, password, etc.), forummastertable (table of topics,
threadnum, startdate, views, etc.) and threadtable (individual posts,
masterthreadnum, postdate, user, etc).
This forum is rock solid and has been operating for over 5 years. I have
built many bells and whistles into it and decided it would be nice to add an
opt in email notification. I've seen this on other forums (a checkbox where
you can get an email notification if someone replies to a particular
thread), but I am having trouble trying to figure out just where to start
and how to do this. I don't mean the programming specifically, but more the
theory on how to set this up. I have been looking at other forums but cannot
find any particular clue as to how this is done. Would I set up a table with
the masterthreadnum and email address and when a topic is reponded to, query
that table and send an email? This does not seem like a very efficient way
to do this.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!
