i've got this 'more or less' working. more in the sense that when you
post a comment, *you* won't get a notification, but everyone else in the
thread will..
less in the sense that if you'll recieve a notification for each time
you've posted in the thread. 5 posts in a thread == 5 notification
emails. the problem is we don't have any sort of index in the replies
table that says, "this person has already posted for this thread" or
something like that.. otherwise the query loops the recordset, grabbing
each userid, getting an email for that and sending an email. rather
rinse repeat. for example:
SQL =
SELECT
users.email,
users.notify,
users.userid,
users.firstname,
replies.contentid,
replies.userid
FROM
users,
replies
WHERE
users.userid = replies.userid
AND replies.contentid = 3509
AND users.userid != 5 #this is so it doesnt email the person #that just posted..
this sends out an email to each userid that has commented on that
article, with no regard for if they've already got a notification..
is there some better query to only grab each userid once? sorry about
being a dumbass, my head is really really really foggy and still
dripping out bong resin and shit.. thanks :)
