How does a member know if a new article has been posted? I don't see that feature...

Thanks,

Same as watching a Forum, to get alerts for new Threads posted in that Forum.

Is there a way to batch update all users to watch a category?

I use the Core XF "Watch" system, which there are no functions for that available. Would have to be something custom developed. IIRC, there is a suggestion for this for Forums and if XF implemented this, it would apply to Categories in XFRM, XFMG, AMS, SC etc as well.

One last question for you @Bob. Currently I have all my articles in a forum node. Is it possible to bring those post into AMS?

Yes, AMS has a "Convert thread to article" function.

Implemented Thread 'Convert Thread to Article'

Nov 9, 2021

As per title, I've implemented a "Keep It Simple Stupid" feature that allows Staff with the Forum Moderator Permission "AMS: Convert thread to article".

Ya, its not designed as an importer, its a moderator tool for 1 off converts eg, Member accidentally posts a thread when they should have posted an article. This tool allows staff to convert those mistakes.

It wouldn't be hard for a seasoned developer to write a simple addon to add Inline moderation tool to bulk convert Threads to Article (or Articles to Threads).

Might want to check with @mysiteguy to see if he has an importer from Threads to AMS Articles.

lol I am, however, I am not taking on custom development right now due to having several dozen large scale addons that still need updated to XF 2.3

Talking to a couple developers to see if they'd knock out a free addon that people could download and use.
