Could this be re-taken up into consideration? |

You need to add an empty line before the list. Otherwise it will not be rendered correctly.

I suggest changing the wording to: "will receive notifications for comments". Only the initial comment that you make when creating an annotation is usually called the question.

Wouldn't it make sense to use the constant PDFANNOTATOR_CHOOSESUBSCRIBE here for the default value instead of '0'?

Nevermind. I forgot this file gets created by the XMLDB editor.

What is the reason for putting this function in lib.php? This file should normally only contain callback functions or stuff for interfacing with Moodle Core. It seems like it would fit better into locallib.php.

I just realized it doesn't really make a difference since locallib.php is being included in lib.php.

Is this change intentional? Probably not because this line has changed upstream since the pull request was created.

I would use the short array syntax, especially since this is a new function. See https://moodledev.io/general/development/policies/codingstyle#array-syntax

Outdated

Where is this class used? I can't find any other PHP files referencing it.

If I understand it correctly this pull request only allows managers to change the subscription behavior for individual questions. If someone creates a question that person is automatically subscribed to it. So they receive notifications for each new comment made to it. In what scenario would people who ask questions not want to be informed about answers to them? So I don't think that is what #20 was talking about at all. That was rather about being able to change the subscription of participants to individual PDFannotator instances, not to discussions they themselves created. The forum works that way: The subscription mode specifies how/if participants are subscribed to the particular forum instance and then you can separately subscribe to individual discussions. Would you consider changing your implementation to work this way? Otherwise I don't really see the benefit. |

The subscription setting will distinguish between optional
subscription, auto subscription, forced subscription and
subscription disabled for comments, auto subscription being the
default as it has been up to now.
If disabled or forced, no subscribe/unsubscribe menu entry is
shown.
Contrary to forum if you change this in hindsight, for
example it will not subscribe or unsubscribe all person
who have subscribed/unsubscribed to a comment.
Also, Behat tests are introduced hereby.
