Just had an idea

Posted August 16th, 2003. Filed under Serendipity

Just got the idea to allow users to subscribe to entries.

I’ve never seen any other blog offer this option, so I thought it would be a nice addition to serendipity.

It’s now checked in to CVS and requires this change to the SQL

ALTER TABLE `serendipity_comments` ADD `subscribed` ENUM( 'true', 'false' ) NOT NULL AFTER `type`;

    Yes it can be done, but why?

    Because sometimes I visit a blog, post a quick comment and forget all about it. Now I can be reminded when others make comments to my comment.

    It’s actually very clever :)

    Ah, like permalinks in the comment section? That’s nice. But could be kind of messy with a track-back thingy too (just developing the idea further :)

    I have seen it other places, but the idea doesn’t get better of that. Hate such things :). *spam*
