How do I Auto-subscribe users for notifications to a specific post
-
Hello Guys,
I want to know how to send updates to users who subscribe/ follow specific posts/ articles. I am using WP Favorite Posts plugin to allow users to follow (or favorite) a particular post. What I want to do is to send changes to that particular post to people who have followed that post.
Essentially, I want to combine Edit Flow and WP Favorite Posts.
If it is relevant, this is the function that shows the favorite (followed) posts of any user (from the WP Favorite Posts plugin):
function wpfp_get_users_favorites($user = "") { $favorite_post_ids = array(); if (!empty($user)): return wpfp_get_user_meta($user); endif; # collect favorites from cookie and if user is logged in from database. if (is_user_logged_in()): $favorite_post_ids = wpfp_get_user_meta(); else: if (wpfp_get_cookie()): foreach (wpfp_get_cookie() as $post_id => $post_title) { array_push($favorite_post_ids, $post_id); } endif; endif; return $favorite_post_ids; }
And this is another piece of code I think might be relevant (Also from the WP Favorite Posts plugin):
if (is_user_logged_in()) { $favorite_post_ids = wpfp_get_user_meta(); if ($favorite_post_ids): foreach ($favorite_post_ids as $post_id) { wpfp_update_post_meta($post_id, -1); } endif; if (!delete_user_meta(wpfp_get_user_id(), WPFP_META_KEY)) { return false; } } return true;
