Hi,

Currently on the latest dev branch a user must have the permission Administer Nodes to get a message in the que by Notifications.

This should probably be removed if possible. Many administrators will want their users to receive a daily newsletter or other similiar message, but not want their users to have permissions to publish/unpublish or promote to the first page.

Is this as intended? Or is there another dependency that mandates it?

Thanks

Stratis

Oh no, it is just a bug, I'll look into it.

That's just what happens when you only test the thing as user 1 :D

I haven't been able to reproduce this one.

Check your permissions and make sure the nodes are published. Users need permission to view a node to get notifications for it.

Thanks that's what it is, they're not published, didn't realize it was a requirement but it makes sense that it is.

Actually I was wrong, I had been publishing them. I'll see if I can reproduce on a clean install.

Hi,

I am getting some similar. It was working great (great module actually) then, I can't figure out why, only user 1 can create subscriptions to other author content, and regular users can only create subscriptions to their own content. All the permissions look appropriate though.

The correct create subscription links appear on the user notifications page, but not on the content pages (except for user 1 and the user's own content.) When a user tries to create a subscription using the link on his/her notifications page a message "You are not allowed to create this type of subscription." appears. Any ideas? Otherwise its a fantastic module and thanks for all your work on this. The messaging framework seems to be working great.

Hi - just after submitting this post I remembered I had removed permisson - 'access user profiles'. When I gave this permission its works great again. Actually I don't want regular users to access user profiles - just access content created by the author to be subscribed to (subscription links appear when users view published content okay), so I don't know if this if a feature or a bug. Anyway I can override the user profile with panels to disable access as a work around, so very happy now :)

Like #6 my user profiles are not accessible to regular users. This could be the direct issue. Also like #6 I'm using panels and can essentially hide or show whatever content I'd like depending on if the user is viewing their own profile or someone elses.

Unfortunately Panels is much more complex to learn/implement. Notifications/Messaging is easier, and I wouldn't want Panels to be the bar for using Notifications/Messaging in situations where users shouldn't see each other's profiles.

@Jose, can you let us know if you intended users to need permission to see each other's profiles for the M/N system to work, or is this a byproduct of some other dependency? I can deal with it either way, I just want to know what your thinking here, so I can plan accordingly.
