Notification plugin - unsubscribe

Postby trudie » Tue Jul 31, 2012 7:31 am

Version 2.3.3-3

Process: We have enabled the notification plugin on the sidebar of our journal. This allows users to register for notifications, and to manage the notifications.

Problem: Once subscribed to notifications, and you would like to unsubscribe to notification emails - the system doesn't allow you.

Examined:
Selecting the tab called 'unsubscribe' it takes me to this page:

The system asks me to enter my email and password (password?? - were would I get a password.)

The system indicates that if I do not have a password leave the area blank and a new password will be emailed to me.

The system sends the email and I enter the password provided to stop receiving notifications.

I receive the email from the OJS software with password. After entering the email, and password meticulously online into the OJS software. ( I did this twice) I received an error message.

Request to PKP: Is this a bug - I require an urgent fix to prevent spamming people who wishes to unsubscribe.

Unfortunately it seem that the recommended bug as mentioned above, is not applicable for the version we use, which is OJS 2.3.3.3 - can someone advise me on a possible fix.
Assistance will be appreciated.

Kind regards, Trudie
