Looking for a special addon

[IngoPan]

Hallo,

I am looking for a special addon for vB4. I´d like to "scan" posts for specific "tags" and then, if one of the keywords is mentioned in the post, i´d like to mail the thread link to a specific email adress. Is that possible ?

Thansk in advance, Ingo

Short answer, yes.

You could make a plugin on newpost_process that would search the content of the post for your specified tags, and if one or more is found, have it e-mail the specified address.

Something like,$flag_for_email = false;
$flags = array('alertword1','alertword2');
foreach ($flags AS $flag) {if (stristr($post['message'],$flag)) {$flag_for_email = true;}}
if ($flag_for_email) {do_my_email_stuff($post['threadid']);}

You can do it from the Plugins section in your Acp.

...and here's a link to the instructions from the vb manual, in case that helps: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/main/add_plugin (newpost_process is the Hook Location).
