API

= Plugin settings =
By default, the plugin sends a mail to all registered users of a blog on new posts or comments, except a user disables the functionality for itself (opt-out). As of version 0.0.5 you can change this behaviour to opt-in with the filter iac_default_opt_in :

add_filter( 'iac_default_opt_in', '__return_true' ); 

Make sure, this code runs on the action plugins_loaded with a priority lower than 10 or earlier.

With version 0.0.5 the plugin got settings (Settings→Reading). The one new option allows you to send all emails with the Bcc-header to hide users email-addresses to all other recipients. This option is disabled by default. You have access to the default settings via the filter iac_default_options. An array is passed to this function with the key send_by_bcc. Change the value to ‘1’ and return the array on your callback function.

User settings handling

To change the users settings (inform about posts, inform about comments) use the action iac_save_user_settings like this:

do_action( 'iac_save_user_settings', $user_id, $inform_about_posts, # '1', '0' or NULL if the user didn't changed anything $inform_about_comments # '1', '0' or NULL if the user didn't changed anything ); 

Getting the current user settings is also easy:

$user_settings = apply_filters( 'iac_get_user_settings', array(), $user_id );= License = 

Good news, this plugin is free for everyone! Since it’s released under the GPL, you can use it free of charge on your personal or commercial blog.
