Currently members can subscribe to items, but Managers lack a page to manage subscriptions for many members at once.

The attached page template and python script accomplish this. I had to patch subscribeTo and unSubscribeFrom slightly since the code does a getSecurityManager().getUser().getId() which is not what we want - we want stay authenticated as a Manager and manage user subscriptions for other users.

CMFNotification should probably add an action to the object category to link to the template.

The patch, template and script have been rolled into a single tarball.

Thanks for this nice contribution. It looks reasonable at first sight.

I have planned an upcoming 1.0 release, but I do not think it will include your patch, though, because of the tight timing (and the fact that I do want to include tests and i18n support for the features which you have implemented). However, it is likely that a 1.1 release will include your patch.

This one is embarrassing. A 4 years old contribution that has still not been included. Duh. Let's wait for four years again! :)

Someone named Paul mailed me but the mail has no valid reply-to address. In the hope that this answers his question re applying the patch...

Typically you would cd to the directory where NotificationTool.py lives, then do "patch -p1 < /path/to/NotificationTool.py.patch". If that does not work you can always hack NotificationTool.py manually. In the patch file lines starting with a "-' must be deleted and lines starting with a "+" added. Other lines are purely for context.

No responses can be added.
