Askbot developers, I can really use your help.
Under the subscriptions section I would like to have the option to get emails if questions are asked which contain my predefined tags.
So I want to - set a list of tags for which I want to receive alerts - get an alert if any question is posted with these tags.
Which python files should I edit to get this to work?
I have the dev. version installed.

There is a feature like that - give users a url such as:
http://example.com/subscribe-for-tags/?tags=bug askbot documentation
with space separated tags. Then users can subscribe.
Appropriate email subscription settings must be selected for that user too.
Please try it out.

Great! That works, I see the template for it in; askbot/skins/default/templates
I added
<form method="post" action="{% url subscribe_for_tags %}">{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="tags" value="{{tags|join(' ')|escape}}" />
<input type="submit" name="ok" value="{% trans %}Subscribe{% endtrans %}" />
<input type="submit" name="nope" value="{% trans %}Cancel{% endtrans %}" />
</form>
to user_profile/user_email_subscriptions.html
and it's working fine as far as I can tell, although I haven't setup the email-servers yet :).
Thanks Evgeny
