Subscribe Button

Hi Jonathan,

Depending on your requirements, you may be able to leverage the standard components for your purposes. The components just display as links, but if you wanted to you could create a custom component, insert the component(s) using the <@component> FreeMarker macro, wrap the component with your own HTML and style as needed.

Here are the subscription-related components for a thread:

	<component id="subscriptions.action.remove-thread-user-float" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.add-thread-user-float" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.remove-thread-user-bookmark" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.add-thread-user-bookmark" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.remove-thread-user-email" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.add-thread-user-email" />

and for a message:

	<component id="subscriptions.action.remove-message-user-float" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.add-message-user-float" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.remove-message-user-bookmark" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.add-message-user-bookmark" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.remove-message-user-email" />
	<component id="subscriptions.action.add-message-user-email" />

 You'll likely be interested in the "email" ones, but I provided the others just in case. You'll want to make sure you only use these components on pages where they're going to have the appropriate thread/message context (ie. a ForumMessage page)

Alternately, you could use the REST API to add/remove the subscriptions, but that's probably going to be quite a bit more complex. Let me know if you'd prefer to go down that route, and I can provide some additional details to get you started.

I hope this helps!
