Auto subscription - Automatic activation of subscriptions in Kunena 5

Plugin: ASK - Auto Subscription for Kunena
Function: With this plugin various categories are added to the subscription list of new and existing users.
Languages: English and German
Kunena versions: 2.x / 3.x / 5.x

With this plugin subscriptions are assigned automatically or manually to all new and existing users. ASK is performed automatically after a successful registration and assigns the specified categories to the new user.

There are 2 modes available: Automatic and Selection Mode. In the Automatic Mode the subscriptions to the categories are determined automatically with all dependencies. If the user is allowed to subscribe to a category, then the category is added to the subscription list of the user. In the Selection mode you may select the categories manually without any permission rights checks, so be careful if you use this option!

From version 2.5-3 also existing users can be handled. The subscriptions are enabled for users of the selected user groups by clicking on the execution process link directly in the settings of the plugin.
