I can add option in admin settings but problem will come to all users because some users will be more interested to get all notifications, some users only to their listings. So i think it cannot be option in backend admin setting but i am thinking to include it in front end option or as a shortcode so that users in website can subscribe according to their needs. At present if one new post/activity/topic/comments/custom post types published all users will get notified based on admin settings. If admin settings has option only to author of post then the site users which are currently used to get notifications to new post/buddypress new activity/bbpress new post/custom post types will not receive notifications for post other than their own post. Due to this i am thinking to add option in front end as shortcode or in their buddypress profile to subscribe to notification only for their activities or in otherway, i am thinking to add option to send notification only to author when they get comments/replies on their post/activity/topic/custom post types. I think it is better to add as option in frontend rather than backend admin option. If it is in front end different users can set their preferences in front end according to their needs. Still I am confused whether i can include that option as shortcode or in buddypress profile. If it is in new shortcode then users can subscribe to notification when some one commented on post/custompost types/buddypress….I will update you on this once I complete. Thank you.

I am eagerly anticipating this update.

I just want to ask one question, is it ok if I include that option in front end as shortcode, so that only front end users can subscribe to comments for their activities/post?

[Ibmfaruk]

Yes, include it in the front end as a shortcode, so that only front end users can subscribe to comments for their activities/posts. That would be much better giving users the option.

I will redesign the shortcode button as follows,
Once it is clicked, it will show form containing options with checkbox
Subscribe to all notifications
Subscribe notifications for new posts/Buddypress activities
Subscribe notifications for comments on my posts/Buddypress activities
Subscribe to all comments
Unsubscribe to all notifications

So that users can switch on/off according to their needs. If nothing is checked then no notifications will be sent and if user is subscribed already in browser (before activating shortcode) then by default subscribe to all notifications will be checked status they can switch off whenever they need it. I will update you once it is complete. It will take some days for me as i need to redesign the shortcode logic with these options and ui design

Above form will appear underneath the button once it is clicked and once option is saved then it will disapper in the same. Currently it is shown as pop up dialog and i am going to redesign the form to appear in the same sidebar or where ever shortcode placed underneath the button instead of popup dialog so that it will be more friendly.
