Creating Subscriptions block for use on Taxonomy Term pages

Try removing code until it stops crashing and then very carefully build on what you have. Compare with subscriptions_ui_block().

Feel free to reopen and post where you stand.

Tried to get this working in the D6 version using this block.

I get this error in the logs along with the WSOD:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function subscriptions_form_helper() in /sites/all/modules/subscriptions/subscriptions_taxonomy.module on line XXX
(The line number is wrong because I added the hook_block code to the file.)

If you change $vocabularies to something like 'dummytext' in the drupal_get_form line then the block will successfully show up, but only with a block subject and no block body contents. No PHP errors reported, but no subscriber form.

I would be very interested to get this working. ( Even more than the template issue ;-) )

Seems like you're missing an include for the file where the function is located.

Thanks Salvis! That did it. I have the user's taxonomy categories listing (just like the "taxa" subdirectory in their profile page) in a block on each Taxonomy term page now.

All it needs now is a small filter to only show the one taxonomy category checkbox that corresponds to the page I'm viewing.

Have any quick genius how that should be incorporated into this function?

I have some code that shows how to get the term ID in the theme files, but not sure how it would incorporate here, nor how to use it as a filter:

$url_request_uri = check_plain(request_uri());
$section = explode("/", $url_request_uri);
$currenttid = arg(2);

function getTermsName($currenttid){
  $taxterms =  taxonomy_get_term($currenttid);
  $termsname = $taxterms->name;
  return $termsname;
}

print getTermsName($currenttid); //TERM NAME
print check_plain($currenttid); //TERM ID

Any ideas?

Oh... here is what I have that works so far:

/**
* Implementation of hook_block().
*
* Define the Subscriptions Interface block for taxonomy pages (depending on the Display Settings).
*
* @ingroup hooks
*/
function subscriptions_taxonomy_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0) {
  switch ($op) {
    case 'list':
      $blocks[0]['info'] = t('Subscriptions Taxa');
      $blocks[0]['cache'] = BLOCK_CACHE_PER_PAGE;
      $blocks[0]['region'] = 'content';
    return $blocks;
    case 'view':
      global $user;
      $vocabularies = function_exists('taxonomy_help') ? taxonomy_get_vocabularies() : array();
      $omits = variable_get('subscriptions_omitted_taxa', array());
      foreach ($omits as $omit) {
        unset($vocabularies[$omit]);
      }

      // get current tid
      if (arg(0) == 'taxonomy' && arg(1) == 'term' && is_numeric(arg(2)) && is_null(arg(3))) {
        $termid = arg(2);
      }

      // only show block on taxonomy term pages
      if (!$termid) {
        return $block;
      }

      // get parent tid and parent term name (if any)
      $parents = taxonomy_get_parents_all($termid);
      $parent_tid = max(array_keys($parents)); 
      $parent_term_name = $parents[$parent_tid]->name;

      // get current term name from current tid
      $taxterms =  taxonomy_get_term($termid);
      $current_term_name = $taxterms->name;

      // NEED SOME CODE HERE TO REMOVE ALL ARRAY ITEMS FROM $vocabulary LEAVING ONLY THE CURRENT AND PARENT TERMS

      $account = $user;
      include_once drupal_get_path('module', 'subscriptions') .'/subscriptions.admin.inc';
    return array(
      'subject' => t('Subscriptions'),
      'content' => drupal_get_form('subscriptions_taxonomy_taxa_form', $vocabularies, $account, $form)
    );
  }
}

You'll have to massage the form that you get from drupal_get_form().

dpm() what you get so you see its structure, then add code to loop over the terms and unset() those that you don't want.

Hey there, I'm completely new to Drupal, and don't really know PHP. Is there a way of doing this in D7? What I'm really looking to do is to have a "Subscribe to this term" checkbox like the "Subscribe to this page". Any ideas how I could do that? I appreciate any help...

If you've enabled Taxonomy Subscriptions module and
- if eg you were to have a site with nodes about all your website projects
- if you were on one of these nodes and it had Taxonomy Term "Drupal project"
- then you would find a Checkbox to Subscribe 'To content in Drupal project' in the Subscribe field set (by default at the bottom of the node).

Hope that helps.

PS - This thread is about blocks in D6 - if you're going to reply please open a new issue and move your post there. That helps us to keep things organized. Thanks,

@KarinG: I believe this thread is about creating a block with links to subscribe/unsubscribe to taxonomy terms from taxonomy term pages, not from nodes.

@gregarios: yep - that was my shorthand version. @Jayson's message didn't seem to fit in this queue.

I think this thread should have been closed in March.

You're right. It was closed, but it certainly wasn't fixed. ;-)

I consider a support request to be fixed when the OP stops posting.

What I'm asking for is a "subscribe to" on a taxonomy page, not a node page. This isn't the right page? Is that cause I'm using D7? I'll create a new thread, but it seemed to fit this one. I'm new to forums, so thank you for helping me out. I really appreciate it!

@Jayson Jaynes:

The short answer is: no, we don't have that.

The long answer is: the situation in D7 is unchanged from D6. Creating a block is a possible approach (but you'll also need a [Save] button, of course). Ask gregarios why it didn't work for him.

I would probably implement this as a subscribe/unsubscribe link. This would require a hook_form_alter(). You can create a new feature request, maybe someone will pick it up...

Why this won't fix? Is really an interesting feature and even necessary.

Is a little in-congruent having a Taxonomy subscriptions way that you have to enter into my account > list of taxonomies available to subscribe and choose with checkboxes. <--- Computer guy mentality!

The mentality of end-user is more of " ok, i go at that term page to visit and see it, for example #NewYork and look, i like it really a lot and wish to subscribe to have the new, i will subscribe in it... wait a minute: where the f*** is a subscribe button????"

That's the user-mentality and that's what we net to cover so yes, is needed a SUBSCRIBE link at the term page itself.

This issue should be turn to Active or at least wrihte a reference link to other issue which actually deals with this topic.

Fortunately, cuz would be a pity if we don't work to solve this point :-)
