@pichalite said in Topic Alerts:
@dangeruss you can create a plugin to achieve that functionality.
Thanks, can you give me some pointers? Like which functions I would call and what hooks I should implement?
Currently if you don't discard a post/topic you can access it even after logging out, closing browser, etc. by clicking "New Topic" or "Reply" at the same category/topic again.
+1 for some kind of management therefor the user knows where drafts are saved (a private list within profile) and possibility to create multiple drafts would be nice.
Also a Draft-button that just removes the topic from taskbar and a list of drafts besides "New Topic" and "Reply" could prevent some confusion...
I'd basically say this is something for a plugin
I think at the very least, if I were to start typing up a reply and lets say my browser crashes (or I revisit the site for whatever reason) the taskbar should appear right away with my draft composer minimized. For bonus points, some indicator of some sort showing that it's a draft post would be cool too
@frissdiegurke The whole drafts feature as-is at the moment is to combat losing your progress in the event of a browser crash or errant keystroke.
Re: @psychobunny's comment, I'd definitely be in favour of re-opening composers (minimized) of any open drafts...
