Here's an update on what we've tried :
In the file: moodle/mod/forumng/lib.php (around line 235), we added the code in red below, because faculty are only subscribed to the forums they need.
if ( $forum->display_subscribe_options()==forum::FULLY_SUBSCRIBED && $forum->has_unread_discussions())
This resulted in no forums at all showing up in MyMoodle with unread posts.
Also, in mod_forumng.php, we found the display_subscribe_options() function and set the default to true, as described here:
/**
* Displays subscribe options for this forum.
* @param bool $expectquery True if we expect this to make a DB query
* @return string HTML code for subscribe information section
*/
public function display_subscribe_options($expectquery = true) {
Still no luck. Any thoughts?
Thanks!!
