Category watch/ignore set default for all users?

Dave Jensen

It appears that "Unwatching" a category also removes it from appearing in the Digest email, right?

@baris I'm not sure why but that script stopped working. I think it stopped when I upgraded to 1.11.x

@djensen47 hey there! It could be because category watch state is now able to be set globally!

Give that a spin and see if that's what you originally wanted

That script is no longer compatible with latest the set names changed.

@julian I can't seem to find the setting. Where do I change the global default? Is this feature on 1.12 or master?

julian

Here it is, I knew I wasn't crazy

Dave Jensen

@julian Okay, thanks. I misinterpreted the the settings. I thought this was a per category global setting. This is a global all categories setting.

What I need is to set the default for about 5 or our categories to "Ignored" and "Watch" for the rest.

What are the new names?

<baris>

@djensen47 cid:<cid>:ignorers and uid:<uid>:ignored:cids got removed there is a single set cid:<cid>:uid:watch:state

@baris So the _key is as you described, the value is the user id, and the score is the watch state?

So I can't just write these records, I need to check for existing, handle that and continue.

Sorry, I'm trying to follow but I'm just not understanding how the database model works. I try digging into the code and go to db.sortedSetsAdd to see what that actually does but there's no docs so I read some more code and it adds a records but I'm not understanding what it means and why. I'm stuck now but I'll figure it out eventually. Thanks.

That's correct, and the records do not exist until a user explicitly changes the setting on the category page. Until they change it the default from the ACP is used.

There are 3 possible values. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/categories/watch.js#L9
