Cyricx - I got directed to this thread from the custom app discussion in RedTyger's thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=141280) and I am glad to see how well your app has been coming along. I'll be installing and testing this afternoon sometime.

Would a modification to this app be possible taht would provide instant email notification like this:

vBulletin has a features in the AdminCP that allows administrators to be notified via email for each new post that is made. I would like to extend this functionality to all users who request it.

The current feature can be found here:

Forums & Moderators > Forum Manager > {some forum} > Moderation Options > Email Addresses to Notify When there is a New Post (Separate each address with a SPACE)

The space provided is finite, and I'd like it to be a profiule option instead. There would be one profile checkbox (yes to reveive or no don't receive) for each parent forum on my site.

Combine that functionality with reply by email and you have effectively rendered Yahoo groups useless :)

If you are subscribed to the forum using this mod you receive immediate copies of all posts.

get the funk out!

like... for serious? :eek:

Yep! This mod is meant to completely simulate the yahoo groups and other mailing lists :)

Though it is a constant work in progress due to the various email processors out there :)

managed to get the thread posts to generate an email, but creating a post from an email doesn;t seem to do anyhting.

When I run the CRON job manually I get this error even after testing all the 6 email types:

is it feasible to subscribe to a parent forum and then be automatically subscribed to all child forums? What about parent forums that do not allow posting?

IMAP isn't configured in your PHP setup.

talked to my host and he confirmed that athough IMAP is working for email, he didn;t compile PHP with te IMAP module.

self-pwned :)

Heh, I found out the same thing from my old host. Was the last straw in a series of 'what the hell are you guys thinking' problems with them and I moved.

A separate email address is needed for each forum. Otherwise in order to start a new thread from email you'd have to do type something like [f-2] this is new thread title

into the subject line. Very inconveinant and it was not pretty when I discussed doing that with the users I was trying to convert when I was making this mod :)

But I'm planning a simple interface to enable people to easily subscribe to multiple forums, though it will be a ways down the pipe til I get the issues solved with various mailbrowsers.

On the parent forums that don't allow posting, I'll have to investigate if the current error checks catch that.
