On the aggregate forum at dotnetnuke.com, I checked the box to notify me when a new thread is started and got this error:

A critical error has occurred.
INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_Forum_TrackedForums_Forum_Forums'. The conflict occurred in database 'DNN_Prod', table 'Forum_Forums', column 'ForumID'. The statement has been terminated.

This is an error, something I overlooked after Shaun added the new Aggregated Forum type to the forums.

To let you know, my intention is to never allow someone to subscribe to the Aggregated Forum, thus always hiding that. The reason is the way this is stored in the db is by forumid and thats why you see the error. I am not sure that is the best overall solution but that is a good fix that can be done with minimal effort.

I have to spend some serious time looking at the entire notification/email setup in this module. I am also weighing how I can utilize the core along w/ scheduled tasks to handle this in a background thread too. Because the amount of effot I need to spend to architect this as well as implement it, this is something that is going to take a long time to implement properly.

Another side of this is why should someone be able to subscribe to the aggregated view. All the aggregated view is, simply put, is all the non-private forums rolled into a single one. Would a notify all be a better option?

I definately invite some feedback on the items around this. I hope the community sees that tons of thought is put into these things and that even though it may not seem that way, this module is driven based on the community feedback. It can be very difficult at times deciding what is best codewise/architectually as most developers know.  So keep that in consideration but also consider the majority of use cases when when determining direction then factor in availability of the teams minimal resources and that is basically the fomula I deal with when deciding where to go with the module. Anyways, my rambling aside, please speak out what you think is best in this situation.

Subscribing to the aggregate forum would be just a shortcut to subscribe to all forums. So even when a new forum is added, an automatic subscription to that forum would be added... i think that would be a handy option

Related to the subscription option in my settings: if i look at that page on dotnetnuke.com, i see 2 problems: i can see forums that i am not allowed to see, and items i am subscribed to are repeated. If i am subscribed to 3 items in a forum group, all items are repeated 3 times...

cheers,

Erik

I look at the 'aggregate forum' as a giant "whats new"... which is very cool. It would be nice to see which sub-forum ("using the forum", or "install it!" for instance) the post came from, though. Some of the threads have an ambiguous title, and could belong to many sub-forums... and you don't know what the thread is really about until you click on it.

Once you have visited a thread from the 'aggregate forum', and you try to navigate back to the subforum of the threads origin, it seems that the breadcrumb navigation sometimes leads... nowhere.

Speaking of nowhere: the 'aggregate forum' also seems to list moderated posts awaiting approval, and when followed, do not lead to the intended post (because it doesn't exist yet).

Is the 'aggregate forum' really a forum? Not just a view?


Personally, it would be crazy for me to subscribe to the 'aggregate forum'- I don't want an email from EVERY post, in EVERY sub-forum. I have enough to read as it is... but what about the load on the email processing... yikes.

Actually, this seems to happen to me on the second-level breadcrumb (usually "Project Forum") no matter how I navigate to or from.
