Mykkal is all good to go :)


FYI to all - If your having problems with missing fields, especially after running any kind of integration script. Go to plugins & products -> product manager -> select UNINSTALL and click go. Then reupload the latest xml in the zip. It appears selecting overwrite does not force vbulletin to run all of the previous version queries.

Hi Chris,

Ive had EI installed on a small forum for quite a while and found it made a significant difference in participation rates, particularly as most of the users were accustomed to an old style mail list.

The only problem is I have a couple of users who regularly edit the reply email and/or try to use quote tags but stuff it up, the result being very messy emails going out to the subscribers and me having to tidy up the posts on the web site.

I would like to have the posts from these users moderated. I have created another usergroup which requires posts to be moderated but when someone in the group posts using EI the post still goes out to the subscribers and still gets published in the forum.

It seems to bypass the moderation requirement. Any ideas why?

At the time of writing this I hadn't figured out how to require the moderation. It's going to take alot of rework as right now the cron file checks the emails, sends the post and sends the emails out.

I'll have to separate those steps, but it's in the plans and in the works.

One of the parts of the next version will be hopefully getting it to work with moderation.

Also, it'll be using the php pear package for mail mime decode so that should help clean things up as well.

Thanks for responding so quickly. Looking forward to seeing the new version in due course.

Here is a rough quick-fix of patches to EI Mod to support moderated forums, cloned from the existing code of EI Mod. The patch modifies emailintegration.php and two of its plugins, adds two custom hooks to moderate.php and installs a product with four plugins.

In limited testing under 3.6.8 this patch allowed moderation from the Admin Control Panel, Moderator Control Panel and also inline moderation :)

I'm running EI ver 2.6.1 on 3.8.2. EI is the only mod on the system and was installed months ago. In the last few days I've had 3 posts that will duplicate themselves when posted to the forum (and emailed out). The only change to the system is an occasional error 2006 due to some SQL issues on my host's side. No other changes to the board have occurred for months.

I know there was a problem with duplicate emails in the past that I thought was cleared up in the most recent release.

Any ideas why?

Hi, this mod seems perfect for my site, but when trying to set it up I receive the following error:

Gateway Time-out

The gateway did not receive a timely response from the upstream server or application.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I'm presuming it's more to do with my server than your mod? :(

Hi there. Another newbie here.

You're all ahead of me here. So far I've installed CyricX original version and I'm excited by the idea. What happens to me though is that we put a test post onto the forum, we get the notification and test reply, the cron picks up the reply and sends back to the forum. Then the same reply goes back and forth in a loop. Now I'm guessing it must be something I've stuffed up in installing due to my ignorance and inexperience but if anyone has any clues that would be helpful. :)

The EI reads each message from the mailbox and then deletes it, therefore messages are not posted more than once. However, if you turn the debug switch on in the beginning of emailintegration.php, messages are not deleted.

Did you create a new mailbox for your forum? It is essential to have a separate mailbox for each forum.

Yes I set up a separate dedicated domain and mailbox specifically for the emails to and from the forum. Emails go to the mailbox, cron picks them up and posts back to forum, then it just keeps going around in a loop. I'm not using 3.6 though, I'm using 3.8.2 at present. Don't know whether that makes a difference. Guessing it's a mistake I've made somewhere.

I'll go back and check the debug thing. Thanks for the idea.
