open Notification of new topic in category #7931

Hello

It seems you can currently get notifications for:

• someone you follow posts a new topic
• someone replies to a watched topic

..but no option for a notification on a new topic (in a watched category).

Like many forums we have an announcement forum. Our users probably won't be checking the board very often, but would like the option of an e-mail when a new announcement topic is posted.

I've tried the nodebb-plugin-category-notifications which adds it's own "subscribe" option to categories. The main problem with this is it also sends an e-mail for any replies to topics too, which users don't want (they want to know new topics, but not have an inbox full of everyone's replies to it).

Can a "new topic in watched category" notification be added to the core notification system? It'll be less confusing for users (needing to use a separate "subscribe" button from the plugin) and better integrated (they can choose if they want a notification or e-mail, rather than the admin deciding for them via the plugin) and uses the existing "watched" method.

I'd hope new topics alerts would be a fairly popular addition?

@PitaJ Done, thanks.

Hello

It's great the event background colour matches the category it was posted in. However, is it possible for the event's text colour to match the category too?

The category I use for event posts has a bright yellow background with black text. Since it seems calendar events always use white text, it means the event text can't be read.

Thanks for a great plugin though!
