A user should be able to "follow" a Section of content

Moving to the infrastructure queue. I also wanted to note my comments on the related issue that were specific to documentation: https://drupal.org/comment/7099298#comment-7099298.

Adding tags

So, we can add a flag for this here:
https://search_api-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org/admin/structure/flags

Which allows us to Follow/Unfollow documentation pages here:
https://search_api-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org/documentation/is-drupal...

I haven't figured out how this is brought into the sidebar yet, but...

Drat, I should have just added this here #1304216: A user should be able to "follow" individual pages of content and receive email notifications for new comments

Documentation pages don't fall under the dev tools team, untagging.

This code should live in Drupal.org customizations. Ideally, there shouldn't be a huge amount of custom code. If possible, it could be simplified to a Feature/hook_update_N() to enable & configure contrib modules.

Nice summary Matt. Sorry I wasn't able to join you last night.

Agreed with this being a meta issue. I'll post some stuff for the Follow flag here #1304216: A user should be able to "follow" individual pages of content and receive email notifications for new comments I figure we can just use that one for that part.

We should open up a new one for the email pieces.

EDIT: Remembered that one of the other Content types that needed a follow button was the forum. Strangely I can't seem to find it in a Features export.

any block can be turned into one of those cool little Homebox things by clicking a checkbox.

Almost, we want configuration exported to drupalorg_homebox().

As for the tabs on the user page, I'll have to do a bit more research... I thought the list of issues flagged by the user was just a view, but the only view I could see that registered the project/issues/user path was disabled in the sandbox (and yet the page still works?!?). That being said, the view of projects at project/user appears to be provided by the project_issue_user_projects view, which was enabled as I would have expected. (note the "Your posts" and "Your commits" pages are provided by the core Tracker module).

Issue Views are replaced by drupalorg's drupalorg_searchapi_issue_views Feature. (Longer-term, this should move into Project Issue module itself.)

The page and block should be displays from a single View, I'm assuming they will have the same content. Since they are relatively visible, they need some performance checking.

As far as I can tell, the code to send e-mail notifications is in the project_issue module. The code looks like it's fairly tuned towards reporting on issues, so an e-mail notification component will probably end up being custom code.

Please look for non-custom solutions that work. Or, the project issue notifications should be simplified into something that can be pulled out into a separate module; for example, #2067659: Send HTML email notification for more compact presentation will make them more general.

Thanks but... We shouldn't really tackle this issue right now. The Documentation Working Group is currently working on defining the improvements we *actually* want for Documentation. This issue hasn't been updated for a long time and may not fit our goals.

Generally, +1.

Re: e-mail notifications:

We wanted to do that in the D7 port in the first place, and were unable to. See #1560010: [META] Port issue following functionality to D7 and #1560012: Port per-user issue notification email functionality to D7 in all their gory detail. :( Maybe/hopefully the contrib landscape has changed enough since then that we can reconsider, but I'm not too optimistic.

I'd suggest we look into the follow system that was built for drupal commons. Most of those features could be pulled out and into drupal.org.

+1 Some pages, like https://www.drupal.org/core/beta-changes and https://www.drupal.org/core-mentoring/novice-tasks are important to contribution mentors and I have not idea if they have changed except by using a 3rd-party service.

We'll be working on this as a part of implementation of the new Documentation Section. Updating issue summary.

Starting deployment notes in issue summary

I'm building this out at https://follow-drupal.dev.devdrupal.org/drupalorg/docs

To do:
Add something to configure special entity reference fields
Show that you are following a guide when you are on a page
Send emails for new pages
Send emails for page when following guide
Check over email formatting

The dev site is nearly complete for this.

To do:

• Add guide following information to the comment notification email
• Check over email formatting

Sample emails to be sent:

New page or guide

From: "drumm (follow drupal dev)" <noreply@drupal.org>
To: 7813258ef8c6b632dde8cc80f6bda62f@sanitized.invalid
Subject: [Documentation page] Yet another new page

drumm created a new Documentation page:

Yet another new page

This is the summary, testing out notifications.

I deployed the update to flag_tracker module, which was all code cleanups, no substantive changes specifically for this issue.

Preliminary work in drupalorg that is deployable is now deployed. This is the From address customization and Panels configuration. While the Follow button is added to Guides and sections now, it won't show until configured with the main deployment.

This has been deployed.
