Description

Initially reported by Matt here:
http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/show/661#note-16

If you're the author of an activity update within a group and you have your group email set to "All Mail", if someone replies to your activity update you will receive two emails - one from BP Group Email subscription and one from BuddyPress.

A way to workaround this is to temporarily set the activity update author's "*notification_activity_new_reply*" user meta setting to "no" during the group email send.

Boone, do you have any other ideas?

Good catch.

I'd say that a better fix is for BP Group Email Sub to check to see whether you've got notification_activity_new_reply set before sending an email to you. The only trick will be to get the user_id of the activity being responded to.

Does that sound reasonable? If so, feel free to work up a patch - or I can do it myself.

I guess the better question is do we want to stop the built-in BuddyPress notification or the one from the Group Email plugin?

The latter is easier (which is the method you recommend). When I originally posted this ticket, it was to cancel the BuddyPress one. However, stopping the built-in BuddyPress one (while allowing the Group Email send) will require a bit of hackery.

Right - I was implying that we should favor the BP-native notification. Since bp_activity_new_comment_notification() is called directly, not via a hook, it would require (as you say) some ugly hackery to make it work right.

I opted to fix BPGES so that it would bail when BP-native notifications are enabled. Fixed in https://github.com/castiron/cac/commit/d0282f024bcc4cf95bc6e64bd710a3f8f22f004e Thanks for talking through it, Ray.
