Include Private Message text in notification email

[telc]

How can I include the private message text in the email that notifies me of a new private message. I just need to know the variable to I can put it into the "phrases manager"

It was able to be done in vb2.x and it works for Reply Notification emails in vb3, so it will work once I know the variable name that holds the pmtext.

Me as well. I didn't know you could do it for replies to PMs so you are one up on me.

i changed the phrase $vbphrase[pmreceived] in the phrase manager to:
$touserinfo[username],

You have received a new private message at $vboptions[bbtitle]:

From: $bbuserinfo[username]
Subject:

To reply, click here to log in and read it:
$vboptions[bburl]/private.php

but this can be whatever you want. you just need something to search for in the ereg_replace:

then search private.php for
vbmail($touserinfo['email'], $emailsubject, $emailmessage);
and ABOVE that line, add the following:
$emailmessage = ereg_replace ( "Subject:", "Subject: ".$title."\n\n".$message, $emailmessage);

This works great -- I have been looking for this for a while.

Thanks!

Does this work in 3.5.1? Or 3.5.x?

[Doric]

The method listed above doesn't work for my installation, unfortunately - and I'd desperately like to have this functionality.

Version 3.5.4.

[d8tabyte]

would a simple if statement to show the member belongs to a certain usergroup work here? I am trying to figure out if/how it would work for just the admin group - or even just a certain member ( me, as i have other admins).

using 3.5.1

[Trana]

Yes, that would work. Also, 3.6 has new functionality in this area that you may want to look into.

although i like this idea alot, i wouldnt use it myself due to i want the users to come to the site to read them :) great idea though
