Summary 0000154: A button on a story "subscribe this topic" for better usability
Description A button on a story "subscribe this topic" for better usability
Additional Information One of the key features of GL over other blogs ist the possibility to subscribe topics.
This is hardly visible to the user. Therefore it would be helpful to have a button on a story "subscribe this topic" next to "send to a friend" and "print version".
It would help improve the general usability of GL as discussed here: http://www.geeklog.net/forum/viewtopic.php?showtopic=66100
(Note that this thread above is less on "multiple categories per article" than on usability in general.)

 Seems simple enough. Quick'n'dirty version:

        if ($_CONF['backend'] == 1) {
            $tid = $story->displayElements('tid');
            $result = DB_query("SELECT filename, title FROM {$_TABLES['syndication']} WHERE type = 'geeklog' AND topic = '$tid' AND is_enabled = 1");
            $feeds = DB_numRows($result);
            for ($i = 0; $i < $feeds; $i++) {
                list($filename, $title) = DB_fetchArray($result);
                $feedUrl = SYND_getFeedUrl($filename);
                $feedTitle = "Subscribe to '" . $title . "'";
                $story_options[] = COM_createLink($feedTitle, $feedUrl);
            }
        }

(to go into article.php in 1.5.0, after the "if ($_CONF['pdf_enabled'] == 1) ..." block)

 The link should probably have a type attribute, e.g. type="application/rss+xml", just like the feed links in the site header.

 Implemented in CVS.

 Could this be reopened again? Meant was the possibility to subscribe topics by email.

Maybe there should be such a nice sign on the top of the topics like in the forum plugin "subscribe this forum / thread" -> subscribe this topic.

 To make such a common link possible, the second part of this request must be to put COM_emailUserTopics() by default in lib-custom.php's function CUSTOM_runScheduledTask() and put an on/off option in the GUI:

function CUSTOM_runScheduledTask() {
global $_CONF;
    if ($_CONF['emailUserTopics'])
      COM_emailUserTopics();
}

Then again, I assume many would want a much less frequent interval for sending e-mail than the general one. Therefore, it might be better to add a unique scheduler for this in lib-common.php:

// Check and see if there are any new stories to send
if ($_CONF['emailUserTopics_schedule_interval'] > 0) { // 0 means off and > 0 should probably be measured in days
    if ((DB_getItem($_TABLES['vars'], 'value', "name='emailUserTopics_scheduled_run'")
            + $_CONF['emailUserTopics_schedule_interval']) <= time()) {
        DB_query("UPDATE {$_TABLES['vars']} SET value=UNIX_TIMESTAMP() WHERE name='emailUserTopics_scheduled_run'");
        COM_emailUserTopics();
    }
}

The latter solution would also not force admins to manually update their lib-custom.php file.

And let's not forget to fix the entire function in the first place: http://project.geeklog.net/tracking/view.php?id=997
