Subcriptions to changes

[David Gonzalez]

Well I was thinking of an idea, you see trac just displays things that have changed or anything, but I was thinking on the lines when the user is logged in, to have him a option to

Alert him whenever someone does a ticket or a ticket is closed

Not sure to see the point: the "Timeline" view (as well as the RSS feed) provides this kind of information.

Can you elaborate about what kind of "alert" you'd like to see?

[David G]

Sorry for not being clear, was kinda rushed

After logging in, in Settings have a option to check mark

[] Alert me whenever there is a new ticket via mail

Since we don't have any kind of alert when someone submits a ticket, besides timeline but thats kinda not exactly an alert

[eblot]

What I meant was: "how do you expect to get notified when the alert is triggered"?

I mean, the web browser only updates the page content on a user action (poll): there's no way to "push" an event to the browser. What I'm not sure to understand is how you'd like to get alerted - not how to configure the alert feature.

You can get email notifications for any change to any ticket, using the "smtp_always_cc" option in the project configuration file (see TracIni) - email notification appears a "push" feature since your email client polls your mail server on a regular basis.

You can also receive "RSS" notifications through the timeline RSS feature.

What kind of (other) notification would you like to get?
