Thanks to some suggestions on the Drupal website, I've improved the modifications to a) have Subscriptions honor the $node->moderate bit, and b) have Modr8 send out Subscriptions when a node is approved.

This still requires a patch to modr8 so that subscriptions gets called when the approval form is submitted, but uses a module for the rest. Also it pulls the real $node values from the database, rather than creating a skeleton from the form info.

I've worked on a version of the previous patch to put a checkbox on the registration form to allow users to opt-in during registration. This implementation uses a module instead of a patch, and so should not require reapplication after updates.

As before, it is still in a very rough testing state. You should be very careful with it, although it does work on my small site.

I've made a lot of progress in getting modr8 and subscriptions to work together.

Task 1, easily accomplished, was to have subscriptions not send out notifications if the moderation bit was set.

Although I've successfully gotten Subscriptions to skip posts that have are in the Modr8 queue, I have not worked out the perfect way to send approvals when they have been approved. For the time being, the best way seems to be to make a small change to trigger an update, ie changing the sitemap priority.

Since the Notify module was obsoleted and then re-adopted, I'm nervous about depending in it too much. I'm trying to move to the Subscriptions module, but I want to offer my users a chance to subscribe during registration.

I've written a patch to deal with this.
