email notify hack----where?

[Sketch]

I imagine this is a hack and I can't find it anywhere. Someone, I hope, can point me in the right direction. The feature is found at sitepointforums.com. Wehn an email notification is received there is a "clip" of the posted message included in the email. I can't seem to find a hack to do this but it has to have been done somehow. Anyone can help?

Thanks.

This isn't exactly what you're looking but you might be interested in it anyway. The simplest thing to do is to edit your email_notify template and include the variable:

$message

This will print the entire contents of the post rather than just a clip. Here's the email_notify template I use at one of my forums:

$bbuserinfo[username] has just replied to the message thread entitled - $threadinfo[title]. Here's the contents of that message:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Message ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$message
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This thread is located at:
$bburl/showthread.php?threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]&goto=newpost

There may be other replies also, but you will not receive any more notifications until you visit the board again.

Yours,

Hmmm...guess I have to figure out how to do a
$shortmessage = substr("$message",1,200); then, don't I? :D

The trick would be in using the script, or more accurately it's output, in the email_notify template. You'd need to use phpinculde for this since php code will not parse in any other template but this one.

Are you a new owner Sketch, BTW? :)

[Sketch]

actually, yes. As of Monday I purchased vB and I just got the community "live" last night after upgrading from my phpbb2 forum.

Thanks for asking....or is that your way of telling me I forgot to put my name on some list somewhere in the annals of time? ;)

No, it's just what I remember you posted in another thread a while ago and you weren't licensed back then (good memory ;)), so I thought you are probably new. Congrats and enjoy vBulletin! (I know you will) :)
