Will it work for 4.0.2?

Will it work for 4.0.2?

Most likely.
Can't imagine it would be a problem but I haven't tried it.

:( not working, will use it when update to 4.0.3

Thanx

[AcidX]

Is there a chance to modify it so we can receive notifications on quote as well? :)

[BrightStar]

Is the option checked by default for new registrations?

[skhms]

Is the option checked by default for new registrations?

No it isn't

If you want to change that you need to run a SQL query.
Enter this at the Maintenance > Execute SQL Query Page:

ALTER TABLE tableprefixuser ALTER sk_repnotif_options SET DEFAULT '1'

This will make the option active as default for new users.
Change the tableprefix to whatever you are using or remove it if you don't use any.

What happens, or doesn't happen?
I just install 4.0.4 on my testsite and I haven't seen any problems yet.

[BlueCheri]

Tried for 4.0.4, now working :(

[merk_aus]

Have installed it on 4.0.4 with no issues at all thanks.

How to set on by default?

To set it on as default for new users run this SQL query at the Maintenance > Execute SQL Query Page.

ALTER TABLE tableprefixuser ALTER sk_repnotif_options SET DEFAULT '1'


To activate it for all current user run this SQL query.

UPDATE tableprefixuser SET sk_repnotif_options = '1'


Change the tableprefix to whatever you are using or remove it if you don't use any.

But"You are not authorized to execute SQL queries" at the Maintenance > Execute SQL Query Page

How to do it via phpmyadmin?

Have never used phpmyadmin so I don't how it works.

You can always give yourself access to run queries in vBulletin by editing the config.php file though.

/SK

[pointalk]

Run this SQL query UPDATE tableprefixuser SET sk_repnotif_options = '1'But
An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146
error desc: Table '6.tableprefixuser' doesn't exist
vb4.0.4

[skhms]

See this part of my original post
Change the tableprefix to whatever you are using or remove it if you don't use any.

That would be the bold part in the query.
If you don't know what your prefix is, if you have any, check the config.php file.

In my usergroup manager I have it set so register users cannot see who left them reputation.

Would I still be able to use this mod? Or will it tell them who gave them reputation in the PM notification?

There is an option where you can set which user that will be the sender of the PM if the receiver isn't allowed to see who left the reputation.

So, yes you should still be able to use this mod.

[TITAN-UZ]

does not work to 4.0.7

[skhms]

does not work to 4.0.7
Just gave it quick try and no it doesn't work. So I confirm this.

Haven't heard anything about 4.0.5 or 4.0.6. Last version I've seen it working on is 4.0.4.

To be honest I'm not sure if I will bother to fix this. Sorry.
If anyone else is willing to check it out please go ahead.

[Kat-2]

Please update this!! It is a great mod.

I have it working on 4.1.2, except instead of going to the post it goes to the OP of the thread.

Can anyone tell me how to edit it to make it go to the post?

[Kat-2]

Anyone??

[venom2124]

Trying to figure out how to make the notification automatic and not off by default. Most users will never turn it on and that kind of makes it worthless. So if someone figures out how to make it on by default before I do let me know.

[Kat-2]

Well, I guess after almost 2 months, no one is going to answer. Shame.

So, it will not work on versions > 4.0.7?

Is there another option out there?

[It's Damn Real!]

This mod thrashes the General Settings page in 4.1.11

Please update.

[intheghost1]

Good plugin, thank you very much.

[It's Damn Real!]

Will there be an update to patch whatever the CSS issue is for the Gen. Settings page in 4.1.11?

[Reed_HCT]

It works fine.
Thank you ;)

Here is what I see going on with this on your board.

When the PM is received, the link to the post is malformed. It has "&" in it, like this:

vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?&p=2355813&postcount=37

And sometimes, not always, it is making the pageload stop before it settles on the right post. It stops at the top of the page instead of where the post is.

BOP5 knows how to cure this, I think it is a server side issue.

[BirdOPrey5]

See post #27, this mod is unsupported. Harassing the mod author isn't going to help.

Not 100% sure & is the issue though it certainly isn't correct after a ? in a URL.

If the page loads but it simply isn't going to the specific post, you have to add #post2355813 at the end of the URL (from the example above.)

It is the #[post#] that brings the page to the correct spot in the browser window.

It is the #[post#] that brings the page to the correct spot in the browser window.That does exist in the link sent via PM. The Mod is working right except for the & being inserted into the link.

Sometimes you land on the post, sometimes on the OP of the thread the post is in.

http://kat2forum.com/forum/showthread.php?12461-The-Draft&p=222938#post222938

As you can see, all the information is there to direct the browser to the specific post, but that information comes after the "&" in the malformed link.

[Max Taxable]

Here's the code in question, from the plugin:


// Create link to post
$sk_repnotif_postlink = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/" . fetch_seo_url('thread', $threadinfo, array('p' => $postid)) . "#post$postid";


//

[BirdOPrey5]

I would suggest changing the line to:


$sk_repnotif_postlink = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$postid#post$postid";


That works fine in VB4 although it doesn't produce the SEO friendly URL in the browser- but as this URL will never be seen by search engines it isn't a problem.

Whatever the bug it seems to be with the fetch_seo_url() function, not the code from this mod.

[Max Taxable]

Hey BoP5..... That did the trick, no more mean old "amp;" stuff in the URLS, and several test reps have confirmed we now go straight to the post that was repped.

YOU FIXED IT.

THANK YOU!

[Kat-2]

Thank you, Thank you!!! I have been dealing with this for over 2 years....*big grin*

VICTORY! We kicked it's ASS!
