vMail Converter - Send out your emails in different encoding

[Milad]

By Syrian Medical Society (http://www.syrianmeds.net/) & Milad (http://www.milado.net/)

Introduction:
In order to solve the problem with unicode (UTF-8) in some Email Service Providers (such as Hotmail, Yahoo and many others), I created this product.
It converts the sent out messages only, from your real encoding into an encoding of choice, both encodings, the source & destination must be supported by iconv (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/#introduction).
You may know, I had converted to UTF-8 and faced this problem, now it's solved.

Caution:
This product is provided As Is without warranties.

Requirements:

vBulletin 3.7.1+
iconv PHP extension is installed on your system, or your PHP version is 5 and above.


Supported Encodings:
See http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/#introduction

Installation or Upgrading:

Import the product file product-vmail_converter.xml (Choose Yes when Upgrade).
Go to vBulletin Options -> Email Options -> vMail Converter - Destination Encoding.
Set your Destination Encoding and save (For me, It's windows-1256).
In /includes/class_mail.php Replace every
$stylevar['charset']
WITH
$this->get_charset()

In /includes/class_mail.php Replace every
$vbulletin->options['bbtitle']
WITH
$this->converted_bbtitle()

In /includes/class_mail.php Find
$toemail = $this->fetch_first_line($toemail);

Add after:

// vMail Converter START
$subject = $this->vmail_convert($subject);
$message = $this->vmail_convert($message);
if ($from != '')
{
$from = $this->vmail_convert($from);
}
if ($uheaders != '')
{
$uheaders = $this->vmail_convert($uheaders);
}
if ($username != '')
{
$username = $this->vmail_convert($username);
}
// vMail Converter END

In /includes/class_mail.php Find again
function start($toemail, $subject, $message, $from = '', $uheaders = '', $username = '')
{

Add before:
// vMail Converter START
function vmail_convert($item)
{
global $stylevar;

if (function_exists('iconv') AND $item != '')
{
return @iconv($stylevar['charset'], $this->registry->options['vmail_converter_destination'], $item);
}
else
{
return $item;
}
}

function get_charset()
{
global $stylevar;

if (function_exists('iconv'))
{
return $this->registry->options['vmail_converter_destination'];
}
else
{
return $stylevar['charset'];
}
}

function converted_bbtitle()
{
global $vbulletin;
return $this->vmail_convert($vbulletin->options['bbtitle']);
}
// vMail Converter END
Find:
if (isset($vbphrase['x_mailer']))
{
Add After:
$vbphrase['x_mailer'] = $this->vmail_convert($vbphrase['x_mailer']);
Save and upload the file again.
You're done.

Are you supposed to include $this-> at the start of every code that is to be replaced?
Thanks

[Milad]

You're supposed to make the edits as instructed.

So how do I uninstall this?

I installed it and it didn't work. Found out after that i'm only running php 4.

Undid all the file changes above and uninstalled product but now I can't send email at all whereas I was able to before.

[Milad]

Upload brand new version of the file: /includes/class_mail.php

It doesn't show up in the vBoption panel in 3.8.2, so you can't set it, and my guess is it's going to take some coding to make it work. It does show up in the product list though.

Hopefully we will be able to use it soon. Thanks for the efforts you have made so far, though!
