@dave1904 I’d start by adding a console.log function to hookData so you can see what is being returned
return hookData; console.log(hookData):what does sound/mute button do?
Solved
Customisation

@crazycells No, it’s for watching and not watching a category which triggers an email alert if checked. If you click it, it’ll turn orange with a mute symbol meaning you’ll be alerted via email whenever something new is posted in that category.
Click it again, and it’ll unfollow the same category. I went with icons here because of the screen estate on mobile devices to prevent overlap with buttons…

undefined phenomlab has marked this topic as solved on
-
@crazycells I think a better icon - or one that is more descriptive should be used on reflection…
-
@phenomlab so “following a category” is different than “watching a category” , right?
-
@crazycells Yes. If you follow it (subscribe), you’ll get a notification each time someone posts a new topic.
“Watching” a topic or category only determines if you see new posts etc. in recent view - for example
-
@phenomlab said in what does sound/mute button do?:
@crazycells Yes. If you follow it (subscribe), you’ll get a notification each time someone posts a new topic.
is it achieved by a plugin?
so, can we say that it does the same function as this RSS button does?
-
but since email subscriptions won the battle over RSS many years ago, you provide a more modern solution
poor RSS…
-
@crazycells It’s a plugin, yes - see
https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-category-notifications#readme
It’s not the same thing as the RSS button - this will only show new topics if you are in fact subscribed to that specific feed with an RSS reader that auto updates.
-
@phenomlab maybe you can use the “newsletter” icon?
-
@crazycells Yes, or the bell icon…
-
@crazycells well, RSS still has it’s uses. As an example, I have a script that can pull RSS feeds from anywhere and make NodeBB posts out of them

of course
I am still using RSS personally with Thunderbird to follow several news websites and government agencies… I still find it very useful. But I was talking more about the general public 
But I guess recently they started to call “podcasts subscriptions” as “RSS audio subscriptions”… I remember seeing this expression somewhere
-
@crazycells yes, I’ve seen this widely used in podcasts also. RSS might be old, but it’s still extremely useful.

@crazycells I’ve changed this in DEV so it looks like the below
Subscribed
Unsubscribed
I think this is much clearer now.

this is much clearer
I would upvote this, but apparently I cannot upvote you more than 6 times a day
-
@crazycells I can soon change that
-
@phenomlab said in what does sound/mute button do?:
@crazycells I can soon change that
I would upvote this too -
@crazycells Try it ?
-
-
@crazycells Yeah, looking at the plugin itself, that’s a hard coded limit
I’ll probably remove that… eventually…
