I understand fully all the different ways you could do this.

What your suggesting is no different then creating a second yahoo group to backup messages from the first.

Pretty frickin pointless.

How do you reply to messages? Users on your board may not be on the yahoo group list.

All the messages will appear to come from the same exact person.

If messages are editted or email chains deleted from the yahoo group, they will not be deleted on your forum. So you have massive information discrepancies there as well.




I'll say it one more time :)

This modification is NOT made to work WITH a mailing list.

It is made to BE a mailing list in and of itself!

It turns one of your forums... into a mailing list.

Any attempts to integrate with an existing group mailing list, like yahoo groups, will create major discrepancies, errors and confused users.

If you want to backup information from a mailing list... search google. There are download programs for just about every free mailing list to make backups of the messages.


I'm sorry to be so abundantly blunt but I don't seem to be getting the message across. :)

*hugs*

Hi,
Sorry to ask again...but I will...:p...will this mod be made available for 3.8 at some stage?

Or, is it worth while installing this version in the hope that it will work okay?

Cheers,

Ian

Thank you for your patience and replies. I know how seeing someone use your creation in a skewed manner can be unnerving. I've been there.

To specifically answer some of your questions:

You don't. We don't want to reply. This is just "read-only" for staff.

Doesn't matter. All we care about is the content inside the message.

That's fine. This is all just information that we're going to be reading. If it gets outdated in a week, it really doesn't matter.

In the explanation of how I was planning to have groups' messages posting to a forum, I completely forgot to explain how the forum users would use it. The quick answer is--the forum users won't.

We do not reply to the groups' lists. We are subscribed to find out what the group is doing since they don't disseminate the information by other means (web site, traditional forum, etc.). The EI forum would only be visible to forum staff. The staff can view the messages posted from the group. They can't reply and can't post. That's the extent of the use of the EI forum.

So that's the why. Now, the question is the how. In theory, would the system which I described above work?

Did you ever fix these issues?

Hi, just installed on 3.8.2 and seems to be running fine...thank-you...great mod!

Can anyone tell me if there is now a way of admin turning on the 'instant e-mail notifications' for any entire pre-existing usergroup...? Obviously I can go into each user one at a time and set this up for them...but I would rather do it all in one hit if at all possible?

Be gentle with me...I am still learning...:p

Cheers,

ian

Has anyone used this mod consistently in order to have pictures shared via a mobile device yet? I know that some folks were close and/or doing it but encountering some issues. Any success stories that can be shared?

mykkal 05-27-2009 01:05 PM

when i enable email integration my forum goes blank. I've asked for help a few times. Is there anyone that can help?

Thanks...

This is the error I get.

Sorry, do not expect support for this beta version. "Last Update: 29 Feb 2008"
I would like to use this great hack but because of the teething problems with it, I can't.
