internal package Foswiki::Contrib::MailerContrib::Subscriber

Object that represents a subscriber to notification. A subscriber is a name (which may be a wikiName or an email address) and a list of subscriptions which describe the topis subscribed to, and unsubscriptions representing topics they are specifically not interested in. The subscriber name may also be a group, so it may expand to many email addresses.

ClassMethod new($name)

• $name - Wikiname, with no web, or email address, of user targeted for notification

Create a new user.

ObjectMethod getEmailAddresses() → \@list

Get a list of email addresses for the user(s) represented by this subscription

STATIC getEmailAddressesForUser() -> \@list

Get a list of email addresses for the user(s) represented by this subscription. Static method provided for use by other modules.

ObjectMethod optimise()

Optimise the lists of subscriptions and unsubscriptions by finding overlaps and eliminating them. Intended to be used before writing a new WebNotify.

ObjectMethod subscribe($subs)

• $subs - Subscription object

Add a new subscription to this subscriber object. no optimisation is performed; if the subscription is already there, or is covered by another subscription, then it will still be added.

ObjectMethod unsubscribe($subs)

• $subs - Subscription object

Add a new unsubscription to this subscriber object. The unsubscription will always be added, even if there is a wildcard overlap with an existing subscription or unsubscription.

An unsubscription is a statement of the subscribers desire not to be notified of changes to this topic.
