Usage notes
- If you use this plugin with the plugin GROUP, be careful that if GROUP is used first, the change will not immediately be shown. GROUP used after SUBSCRIBEGROUP will be fine
- A module with a filter on the group will be affected as soon as the group is changed
Examples
Basic
This code:
Copy to clipboard
{subscribegroup group="Editors" subscribe="Subscribe to %s" unsubscribe="Leave %s" subscribe_action="Name of subscribe submit button" unsubscribe_action="Name of unsubscribe submit button"}
Would produce:
or this screen
Advanced
It is possible to make a link to toggle from subscribed/unsubscribed status to some group called GroupName by creating a link to a page which contains this plugin and adding the following parameters:
Copy to clipboard
group="GroupName&iSubscribeGroup=1&subscribeGroup=text"
Example:
http://www.example.com/somepage?group=GroupName&iSubscribeGroup=1&subscribeGroup=text
Of course, this works if the user is logged in, and GroupName needs the correct spelling and capitalization.
