Creating the Board unsubscribe page

This page will be used to handle message board unsubscription requests. There are several message boards throughout the whole site. Users can subscribe to receiving e-mail notifications about new messages on a particular board. The notification e-mails contain an unsubscription link leading to this page. When a user clicks it, they are redirected to this page with the subscription GUID in query string parameter. On the page, the Message board unsubscription web part will handle the request and perform unsubscription.

 

In order to for the page to be functional, you need to set its URL in Site Manager -> Settings -> Community -> Message boards -> Board unsubscription URL, as described in this chapter.

 

1. Select the Special pages folder in the content tree and click New. Choose the Page (menu item) document type.
