Disable notifications for some users (code)

Resolved tatof

Hello,

Love the plugin! Works perfectly.
I’m building a custom “social” platform and users have to be able to “enable/disable” mails they recieve.
It’s easy to make a checkbox and save the setting but is there a webhook or someting I can Unhook so the custom notification will not be send after the user updates his setting?

I’ve tried to find the “trigger” for comment added & comment replied so I can copy them in my own custom trigger. But I can’t find the source./

Could you help me? 🙂

Found the “conditionals” extension.
https://bracketspace.com/downloads/notification-conditionals/

Does this work with custom {merge_tags}?
Then I could make a merge tag with data from the user account and cancel the notification if is “true”.

Hi @tatof, thanks!

Yes you can use this extension but if you feel comfortable coding you can suppress the notification programmatically: https://docs.bracketspace.com/notification/developer/notifications/suppressing

You’d just need to find a way to check the user meta.

Could you please spare 15 seconds to write a review here? Thanks!

Hey Kuba,

Thanks! I’m pretty far by now:

This checks if the post author has Enabled “new comments” mail and puts it in a MERGE_TAG
```
notification_add_global_merge_tag(             
    new BracketSpace\Notification\Defaults\MergeTag\StringTag( [
        'slug'     => 'authorCommentNew',
        'name'     => __( 'Author Comment New', 'textdomain' ),
        'resolver' => function( $trigger ) {

            $curuser = get_post_field( 'post_author', $trigger->post->ID );                               

            $testthing = get_user_meta( $curuser, 'mail_settings' );   
            if (in_array("comment_new", $testthing[0])){                    
                $authorCommentNew = 1;
            } else { 
                $authorCommentNew = 0;
            }                       
            return $authorCommentNew;                            
        },
    ]) 
);
```
But I want to do the same for the “parent_comment user id” when there is a reply.
I only can’t figure out how to get the {parent_comment_author_user_ID} like you did.

If I can get the parent comment after submitting the reply comment I can make an other merge_tag with the value of that user and cancel or suppress the mail.
```
I think I need something like:
$trigger->parent_comment_author_user_id->ID
```
Sure! Going to give you a rating 🙂

PS. I saw you’re busy building a opt-in/out function for users, When will that be done? Kinda building that right now but love to not have to build that.

So close!

Comment reply trigger has this property: https://github.com/BracketSpace/Notification/blob/develop/class/Defaults/Trigger/Comment/CommentReplied.php#L71

so you’d have to do: $trigger->parent_comment_user_object->ID

The opt-in extension is certainly on the list but we haven’t even started it yet and we have hands full of work in the next two months… I wouldn’t expect it released earlier.

Nice! This works perfectly :D.

So the output of my custom MERGE_TAG is now the user ID (in the notification log).
I can use this in the “Notification : Conditionals” extension right?

If “value” == “0” – Don’t send
If “value” == “1” – Send!

If this works then I don’t need the opt-in plugin!

Correct!

Setup will look like this:

Process this trigger only if
{your_merge_tag} equals 1

It may require some testing with the conditions, depends what’s the merge tag value exactly (if string or bool).

Oke thanks, I can figure that out!
