I'd like to have the "Notify me of new comments via email" box checked
by default, so that commenters see replies to their comments unless
they explicitly opt-out by unchecking the box.
Looking in mp-content/add-ons/MailPress_comment.php:comment_form, I
see that the $checked setting is taken from an option:
$checked = (get_option(self::option)) ? "checked='checked' " : '';
... but I can't see how to set the option. On the dashboard Settings-
>MailPress->Subscriptions there is a setting under Comments that has a
checkbox labelled "Comments", but it's always selected and grayed out.
A quick hack to get the box checked by default is to change the above-
mentioned line to:
$checked = "checked='checked' ";
But is there a better way to make "notify me of new comments via
email" the default?
Thanks,
Graham

One more thing: what sized donation would it take for you to add a
"Notify me of new posts via email." checkbox (also selected by
default) to the Comment Add-on so that commenters get subscribed to
the default MailPress newsletter, as described by Joast at:
http://yoast.com/comment-email-subscription-form/ ?
Thanks,
Graham

how much do you evaluate the cost of this add-on (i am thinking of 2 or 3 days)

I was hoping it would be simpler than 2-3 days. I believe this is a
great way to improve visitor engagement. I'd be prepared to pay say
$50US.
I've had a go myself and come up with something that seems to work
here:
http://buildyourblog.net/downloads/MailPress_comment.php.txt
The main changes are in:
- comment_form to add the "Notify me of new posts via email." checkbox
- comment_post to add the commenter to the default newsletter
However, the commenter doesn't get a subscription confirmation message
like they do when subscribing via the MailPress widget.
In fact I notice that comment subscribers don't normally get a
confirmation message. Is this by design?
You'd probably also want an options checkbox to enable the "Notify me
of new posts via email." checkbox for blogs that don't want to present
this option; I'm not sure how to add that.
Cheers,
Graham

I have started the dev of a new add-on : MailPress_comment_newsletter_subscription
hereattached are the
settings (select the default newsletter for comments)
comments (how comment form is changed)
now i have to code all this ...
some potential issues :
* settings :
+ newsletter select will give option to none, all defaults, 1 active newsletter
+ if the active newsletter is deselected from the settings > subscriptions then the checkbox will not be displayed
+ ...
* potential conflict with comment add-on
+ avoid conflict on status value when user created !!!

Awesome Andre; this looks fantastic to me.
If it simplifies the implementation, I think it's OK to just offer
subscription to the existing default newsletter.
The potential for conflict with the comment add-on was why I thought
this feature could be merged with it.
Not using a confirmation email makes it easier for spammers to
subscribe innocent victims. Some other email systems confirm comment
subscribers while others don't. For the newsletter though I think
you'd want to confirm. Again this could conflict with the comment add-
on.
Your donation is in the mail...
Cheers,
Graham
