E-mail users when their thread is moved

Wrote this hack because people on my forum were complaining that there was no closed thread saying "Your thread was moved because of ....", so I decided to have the forum e-mail them when a mod/admin moved their thread.

EDIT POSTINGS.PHP


Find (around ln 287)
$threadinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid FROM thread WHERE threadid=$threadid");
$curforumid=$threadinfo[forumid];

Add after it
$threadtitle=$threadinfo[title];
$curforum=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid=$curforumid");
$targetforum=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid=$forumid");
$curforumtitle=$curforum[title];
$targetforumtitle=$targetforum[title];


Find (around ln 334)
$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=$numberposts,threadcount=threadcount-1,lastpost=$lastpost,lastposter='".addslashes($lastposter)."' WHERE forumid=$curforumid");

Add after it
$firstpostinfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT userid FROM post WHERE threadid=$threadid ORDER BY dateline LIMIT 1");
$threadstarter=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT email FROM user WHERE userid=$firstpostinfo[userid]");

$emailsubject=$bbtitle;
$emailmsg="Your thread on the $bbtitle, " . $threadtitle . ", has been moved from the " . $curforumtitle . " forum to the " . $targetforumtitle . " forum. Do not respond to this e-mail, as it will not yield any follow-up answers.";
mail($threadstarter[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Post Manager\" <$webmasteremail>");

hope this helps somebody :)

You need to pirate a more recent copy.

I think the correct spelling is pir8
