Well done that man :) Downloading now!

seems a very promissing add-on :)

downloaded and will test it when i wake up (its 3.01am here)

thx

I unistalled 2.1 EI,
upgreaded to vbulletin 3.7 BETA 5,
installed EI 2.6

and am still getting all kinds of errors:

Email Integration

Fatal error: Call to a member function set_parsing_language() on a non-object in /home/.junkyard/xxxxx/xxxxxx/includes/cron/emailintegration.php on line 1093

Did you reupload the new files including the new /includes/cron/emailintegration.php file?

The file will have the version 2.6 listed in the beginning of it.

Yes, I re-uploaded all files.

Funnily enough, it does seem to work for most users (although not for me as admin).

I am immediately getting complaints about too much clutter in the emails.

Does reverting back to "old style" emails (like in version 2.1; I believe I saw a setting somehwre where I can choose which style emails to send/receive) change any functionality?

EDIT I seem to get a lot of double posts....actually more than double...some posts keep showing up over and over again. It's like it's not deleting them off the server...

I've managed to verify the duplication of incoming posts, over and over..... accidently but done by installing the vMail - Verify Mail before registration Mod.

If this is installed as soon as an import cycle takes place instead of a newly posted message comign in an old one comes in over and over and over.

If that Mod is disabled and a the email mailbox which is having the duplication problem is deleted and recreated the problem is fixed for a while- but if the other Mod is left enabels it will return.

For the moment I've disabled the other Mod. Here's hoping both authors can work together to come up with a fix!

Interesting, although at least for me, my repeat posts have nothing to do with vmail, as I don't have that installed.

Another thing: the email SUBJECT is using the FORUM's name as the beginning; this makes the whole email subject EXTREMELY LONG depending on the forum's name. Is there a way to SHORTEN the email subject?

And is there a way to simplify the emails themself. there's a LOT of extra stuff in there that is causing some confusion with our members (who apparently have the whole thing working, despite me getting a error when I run the cron job manually)

Interesting as the only other Mod added at the same time was AME - Auto Media Embedding (youtube, Amazon, google, myspace, etc...)
and as that does not touch email I thought it unlikely to be the culprit. Do you have that installed by chance?

Piggo, if you don't mind, could you please send me admincp login with access to plugins, options and scheduled tasks?

To your question concerning the subject line. No currently it is configured to use the forum title. However, I'll toss in a tweak to let you set it as something different per forum. That won't be released til I solve these last few bugs that ironically are not happening on my site LOL.

They gotta be conflict errors.. but don't worry... I'll keep at em!

Tek, I'll install that mod on my test site and respond to your pm as well to discover the issue. I really didn't change hardly anything in the script other then adding the function to send emails for subscribed threads, but that was straight outta the functions_newpost.php file so...

I'll figure it out though :)

Thanks Cyricx,
PM sent.

For some reason, some of the issues seem to have resolved themselves, although I haven't run a manual cron job since yesterday.

Most likely they didn't resolve themselves, or it may have been issues with duplicate subscriptions that the script fixed as it went.

I'm betting it's just very obscure criteria that are causing them.

Thank you for sending me the info, I'll fine tooth comb things and see if I can locate a spot where the issues are occuring. :)


Seriously.. thank you all so much for the bug reports. None of these issues are appearing on my site, so without the bug reports.. I'd never know about them. if anyone is experiencing similar issues, please let me know. It can help sometimes to compare sites that are having the problem to be able to see similiarities that will help me narrow down the issue.

Particularly if it involves conflicts with other modifications.

No probs Chris we are bearing with you. Admin access now granted for you on site.

Okay, this seems like it can be molded into what I want for my forum, but I'm not sure.

What I'm looking for is something so people can take a picture with their phone, then text (preferrably) / email it to an address / number (preferrably), and have it start a new thread.

I don't want them to be able to reply to threads via their phone, so that's not necessary.

Also... I would like it to somehow show who is doing the posting, by somehow linking the phone number to the UserID or something.

Anyway, I know this is an odd place for a request, but I was wondering if you think this system can do that? Or if there is another hack anyone has seen similiar?

Also, how does this show the username? From the person's registered email address?

Thanks!

It shows the username from the registered email address. Which means the email address would have to match that of the phone. :(

I'm don't think it would be able to do exactly what you want without alot of tweaking :)

The thing that I've seen closest to what your wanting is Photopost has a modification that lets you upload pics from your phone.

To modify this code to do that, I would think you would have ALOT of loose ends to tie up.

I figured. And I was actually already in the market for PhotoPost anyway. So if that'll do the trick, then I think I'll be set.

But this mod is very tempting for all my users who have "I hate messageboards" in their signatures. :D

That's definately the aim! Now I just gotta get the obscure and/or conflicting bugs resolved :)

Hi Cyricx,
I've just updated to 2.6 today. When I click on Auto Subscriptions in the Admin CP I get a MySQL error in vB.

Any idea what's going on here?

Thanks

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

One of your usergroups is setup to auto subscribe members to a forum, but you have not defined the forumid :)

I now have a fix coded in that halts the attempt to save a usergroup with those settings with 2.6 So just open up your usergroups and check each, or open and try to save each one and you'll get the error message :)

I'll add an error message into the auto_sub script for 2.7 for if there is not a defined forumid to tell you which usergroup to correct :)

Thanks Cyricx. I have 50 odd forums so I'll have to go hunting .... Am I alone in finding vB admin control panel a mess? When you have a large number of forums many screens become a nightmare to load in the admincp. But I digress... :-)

You should only have to check the usergroups... not the forums :)

Here is a query you can run from Admincp -> Maintence -> Execute SQL Query that will tell you what usergroup you need to fix :)

Replace (TABLEPREFIX) with your table prefix you setup in the config file, or remove it if you do not use one.

UPDATE: looks like everyting is working as it should now. SWEET!

The only thing I could still imagine would make this PERFECT if there was the ability to RENAME the forums for the purpose of EMAIL SUBJECT only, as discussed earlier.
Would be VERY happy if you can add that ability next update, Cyricx!
:)

It will DEFINATELY be in the next version :)

I gotta solve the bug that Tek is having right now. So far I've narrowed his bug down to admin replying from email causing a duplicate. Trying to narrow down what in his settings could be causing the code to loop twice.

If anyone else experiences this bug please let me know!

Piggo, was the other plugin causing the issue? If so, I'd be happy to look at the code for it and see if I can figure out what was causing them to burp :)

Actually it seemed to just resolve itself; ALTHOUGH: it may well be the "admin replying from email causing a duplicate" thing.
Remember I was saying that members had no problems?
The duplicate emails seem only to have happened from admin email accounts.

No admin has sent any email recently, so not sure if it would still happen.

GREAT about the renaming forum inclusion in new update!
Thanks so much for this mod, and thanks so much for keeping at it, and making it better (almost daily! :))

Duplicated it on my test board.

It's when a user replies twice to the same thread in the same loop of the cron job. :)

This criteria has actually existed since this modification was created! We just haven't seen it yet til now. :)

I'll work on a fix now.

Dang you are good!

Now that you write that, I can remember that the loop posts were indeed more than one, and close together timewise!

Sweet!

For some reason the floodcheck code works for new threads... but not new replies....

*growl*

Though it all uses the same datamanager.

I'm fighting with it now

the link on the product after installation (in the products listing of adminCP) is FUBAR :D

hmm..

So far I have this installed. Ran the debug and it passed. Running 3.7 beta 4. However, I still get the regular email. Nothing in the forum email box. Will keep checking...

ok. Not sure what I actually did, but I got it to working.

Wow Cyricx, let me just say thanks for the awesome mod. This might or might not be the lynchpin of me convincing our group to switch from our old mailing lists to a real 2008 piece of software for our intranet.

I have this working a little, but I have two very very large issues that are preventing me from testing this any more.

First, is there any way I can have the software care about the 'TO' field instead of the 'FROM' field? OR what about specifying the filter criteria for matching myself? For various reasons, I am working from a pre-existing email list that cannot be reconfigured, so I'm stuck with my list email being in the 'to' field. It only takes emails if it finds a user with an email address corresponding to the email in the 'From' of the list email.

Secondly, my list is live, so the rejection emails when I have things wrong are driving my users crazy. Is there any way for me to have it send error emails somewhere BESIDES back to the sender in the email? This is a show-stopper for me -- it's erroring out, but I can't test it because I only have problems with your mod and my actual list list, not with my control emails, and testing the list spams it and there are 100 people reading this in my business.

What do you think? Any thoughts are welcome!

I'm really not understanding what your meaning here... let's talk via PM and try to determine what your needing :)

You can define the email to come from the same person, same email address for all emails (just the reply_to changes for each forum), you can set that up in the settings.

It's really a bad idea to test anything in a global environment. Create a new forum, with a new email box and only let your admins and moderators interact with it. Then you can test it without having your user's experience any problems.

I've uploaded a 2.6.1 beta version which in my testing has resolved the multiple posted replies error.

It does not have any new features in it.. this is just a hotfix :)

That hopefully fixes it...

Got it Chris, interestingly enough I did not get an update notification through.

Yeah.. I didn't send one. Didn't want to keep bombing everyone, especially until I had good confirmation that it was a fix.

Fixing it on my test site doesn't always = fixing it live. That's where I look for bug reports :)

1-Hmmmmmmmmmm this gave me an idea. Ok I'll put that in my test. I have to redeploy the whole install before I try again so it'll take me another day or two because of regular time constraints.

2-I agree fully. I did have it set up the way you describe and it was working to my satisfaction. It was when I went to do a small test on the live list address when I ran into some of my limits. It just so happens that one rejected email caused 100 people to phone me haha.

I PMed you my IM info, and I'll speak to you as we have time. Thanks Cyricx for your brain time.

Best regards,
GJ

Hi Cyricx. Thanks for this great mod. I currently encounter some grumpy old ladies who also refuse to use the message board and only want to keep their conversation via email :rolleyes:

I have 2 questions and hopefully you can help me out.

1) i believe i got everything installed properly. when someone creates a post or thread, a forum subscribed user receives an email in his inbox, and when he replies, it sends a notification other subscribers but doesn't direct to the forum for some strange reason. is there a setting in my server that may prevent this from happening?

2) when a subscribed user creates a thread/post in the forum, it sends a notification email to himself. is there anyway to prevent this? instead only send an email when someone else posts in that subscribed forum other than himself?

Thanks in advance!

Loaded it finally this afternoon Chris. Forum has been quiet today but no dupes at all yet!

Thanks for a great plugin. This really elevates vBulletin's usability. I had one problem though - new threads didn't show the posters name in the initial email on "CURRENT MESSAGE FROM:" line for new style emails. I played around with this and fixed it by changing
to

in the newthread_post_complete plugin.

EDIT: I know my profile shows 3.6.7, but this was also on my 3.6.8 PL2 dev board.
