MyBB Community Forums

Dear Sirs,
How to make this option checked for new registrations & how to update the same for current users?

The Option is: Notify me by email when I receive a new Private Message.

I am using MyBB 1.6.11 with default theme (no plugins installed)

See here: http://community.mybb.com/thread-6790-po...l#pid41506

This option is checked by default for new registrations.
Do you want users not to opt this out at all?

Edit:
Never mind, ignore my post, I thought you meant this option:

thanks but this post is not good for MyBB 1.6.11 version. it was posted in 2006

In member_register change:

<td valign="top" width="1"><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="emailpmnotify" id="emailpmnotify" value="1" {$emailpmnotifycheck} /></td>
<td valign="top"><span class="smalltext"><label for="emailpmnotify">{$lang->email_notify_newpm}</label></span></td>

or something similar, depending on theme, to:

<td style="display: hidden;" valign="top" width="1"><input type="hidden" class="checkbox" name="emailpmnotify" id="emailpmnotify" value="1" checked="checked" /></td>
<td style="display: hidden;" valign="top"><span class="smalltext"><label for="emailpmnotify">{$lang->email_notify_newpm}</label></span></td>

In usercp_options change:

<td valign="top" width="1"><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="pmnotify" id="pmnotify" value="1" {$pmnotifycheck} /></td>
<td><span class="smalltext"><label for="pmnotify">{$lang->pm_notify}</label></span></td>

to:

<td style="display: hidden;" valign="top" width="1"><input type="hidden" class="checkbox" name="pmnotify" id="pmnotify" value="1" checked="checked" /></td>
<td style="display: hidden;"><span class="smalltext"><label for="pmnotify">{$lang->pm_notify}</label></span></td>

Then perform the query from linked post in phpMyAdmin, it's still the same in MyBB 1.6.11.

Well in your Admin CP, go to: Templates -> Default templates -> Member templates -> member_register

Search for the part of code at line 67:

<td valign="top" width="1"><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="emailpmnotify" id="emailpmnotify" value="1" {$emailpmnotifycheck} /></td>

and change it to this:

<td valign="top" width="1"><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="emailpmnotify" id="emailpmnotify" value="1" checked="checked" {$emailpmnotifycheck} /></td>

This way the option will be checked by default when registering:


And how do you want to update it for current users?
In the Admin CP you could go to Users & Groups -> select the user you want to update -> Account settings.
Here you can check the option to receive emails when pm'ing.

If you want this to happen for ALL users, you could query with SQL in your database.
