Autocreate threads and posts announcing new LDM entries and comments
--------------------------------------------------------------------
As of LDM version 2.2.8, this extra has been fully integrated into the
main LDM code, with settings controlled via the LDM
admin settings/category control settings pages.
Important note for those who had installed this extra in version 2.2.7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
a) After upgrading, you will find two sections of the LDM admin settings page
which seem to relate to this feature. One will be in the middle of the
main settings groups. The second will be at/towards the end of the page, and will
contain only one value (for autocreate_limitcats). Select the
'delete' checkbox for this setting group, then update the page.
b) With the 'extra', categories which triggered thread/post creation were
controlled using the *autocreate_limitcats* setting. This is no longer used.
Instead, the feature follows LDM's normal category inheritance process:
- if you enable the feature on the main LDM settings page, it is automatically active
in all categories, except where explicitly turned off in that category or one of its
parents
- if you disable the feature on the main LDM settings page, you can selectively
enable it within individual categories/their children by using Edit Category/Control Settings
