thanks kirby :)
this could be most useful.

[Injektilo]

screen?

[Moparx]

screen?
there is nothing to show (unless you want a screen shot of a log file that its going to generate) :p ;)


Edit: Kirby could you set it up so the shows in the Log Manager?

Where does it store these logs?

[Moparx]

Where does it store these logs?

It stores it wherever you want it to be stored. just put the path in vBulletin Options > Error Handling & Logging

[Vizionz]

whats stored in the logs ? the actual message or just who it was sent to and the time

[Moparx]

the entire message + headers are stored.

Thanks this will be handy to see whether it's VB or my providers that are sending mails late!

[Onimua]

Thanks Andreas!

Wish I saw this earlier today before I made some emails... oh well, next time! :)

Great work as always.

Though as Moparx said, it would be great if it would show in the Log manager. Though, I expect there is a reason you didn't make it that way to begin with.

There are no Hooks for that ;)

[Snake]

Very useful. Thanks bud.

[theArchitect]

There are no Hooks for that ;)Yet, Mister developer, yet? ;)

Yet, Mister developer, yet? ;)

There's a thread on vBcom where you can suggest new hook locations.

There's a thread on vBcom where you can suggest new hook locations.

I have requested it there.

But as Andreas is a developer and I am merely a humble peasant Admin felt his views may get a better response.

Quick question...I take it this will log subscription e mails, however, does this also log e mails sent by the admin from the control panel?

I ask because I sent out an e mail to the members and it did not log it.

Thanks!

[dieselpowered]

Hmmm maybe I did something wrong, did I need to create a file for it to write to, or just a writable directory?

[AWI]

Thanks for this, installed on 3.5.2 and everything is in check.

[Eagle Creek]

Going to install!
Thx!

Set the path in vBulletin Options / Error Handling & Logging

Do I need to create a file? for it to log the mail?

If so, How do I create one?

That's the only bit I don't understand lol

Thank you for any help :)

Hello,

Can you give me an example for the "path"

I tried too many diffrent paths and didn't work..

and do I have to greate a "file.log", if so where do I place it..?

Thank you

[moonclamp]

I'm trying to suss this out too. Do I just put a path like mail_log/, do I put the complete URL or do I put the full path to the server (home/public_html/etc)?

EDIT: worked it out, all it needs is the directory name and file name. EG mail_log/email.log
