Subscribe Plugin

This is a companion plugin to the MailerContrib. It allows you to trivially add a "Subscribe me" link to topics to get subscribed to changes.

Example (only works if plugin is installed, and you are logged in (not TWikiGuest)):

Usage

Anywhere in a topic or template:

• %SUBSCRIBE{...}% or simply %SUBSCRIBE%

• The button toggles subscribe/unsubscribe if the user is already subscribed or vice versa. So after the next click on the button, the user will be unsubscribed.
• The plugin will do the best it can to optimise the subscription lists in WebNotify.

Access Controls

You don't need VIEW access to the WebNotify topic in order to subscribe to changes in a web, but you must have CHANGE access. If you want users to be able to subscribe or unsubscribe, but you don't want them to be able to modify their subscription or otherwise edit the WebNotify topic, you can restrict VIEW access to WebNotify. This will make it uneditable from the browser (but will not block save urls, so is not fully secure).

Note that permissions on individual topics are not checked when subscription mails are sent out, so be very careful about who you allow to subscribe.
