Duplicate replies when posting in a forum that EI is turned on for.

I have had to disable the cron due to it reposting over and over the same message.. When I run the cron I get this Error..

Fatal error:

• This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 30 seconds.

Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_post in /includes/class_dm.php on line 765

Thank you!

Combined with finally having the error occur on my site I may be able to solve this one today.

It seems to occur when the individual has sent in two email replies to the same thread. I'll also trying turning up my time between posts on the test site to replicate the bug.

Duplicated on the test board!!

Now to work on a fix :)

Awsome!!

Any luck on a solution yet?

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...

Still getting the same error...

What seems to be happening is I have a member that is replying via Yahoo Mail. I think for some reason her mail is bouncing back and forth or something.. Not sure.. She I think is the only one who replies by E-Mail.

She replies once and it tries to repost the reply several times.. I am lost on this one..

1 question I do have other than this problem is, I have 1 Email set up for 1 forum. Do all the sub forums use that same E-Mail addy or do I need a different addy for each sub catagory. I am currently using the same E-Mail in the sub catagories..

You'll need a different email for each subcategory. That is because it needs a different mail box to determine where a new thread should go.

Are you still having problems with the email trying to repost with 2.6.1? That is specifically the problem I fixed.

As far as the duplicate posts error... this is when you try to reply via forum correct? Does it happen every time you try to reply in a forum that is enabled?

Not having it happen at all on my live or test site, so trying to determine the criteria for the error your experiencing.

Ok, gotcha on the sub catagories.. I need to fix that, wonder if that is or could be part of the problem?

Hmmm Let me play around with this a little..

My site is http://adventurers-united.com If I send you the admincp info will you look at my settings and tell me if I have anything wrong..

Certainly, send me the details via PM and I'll check them out.

This will also let me see if there is a possible conflict with another plugin. :)

Ran the upgrade to update email integration from 2.5.2 to 2.6 ... for some reason the overwrite of the xml in product manager did not function properly. I still had 2.5.2 and then another listing for 2.6 in the product manager. Uninstall 2.5.2 and reinstalled the 2.6 xml. So thought everything was good, appears to be actually... the forum options are there. The options Admin -> Vbulletin Options -> Email integration Settings are listed but the admincp sidebar has no Email Integration listed below the Maintenance as before. So I cannot update my subscription options nor run the email test script. Unfortunately all my 2.5.2 settings were wiped out in the reinstall and now I need to reset all the forums... and I assume run the Subscriptions Update on all groups afterwards. But the option is no longer available. Any ideas? Help!? Was functioning great before the upgrade. Thanks in advance.

Okay. It appears I am missing some code from 2.5? See attached image of my existing install/uninstall code for the mod doesn't show any 2.5 options. Could the uninstall caused this? Please advise. No longer can find the 2.5 download and really need this option functional again. Advice would be great. Can I fix it or do I have to uninstall and reinstall the whole thing.

Thanks. Troy

Okay. Maybe I am screwing things up further but I reloaded the old 2.5.2 xml file and the email integration option below maintenance in the sidebar is back. However my Product Manager shows both versions being installed. odd. See attached image. Should this be the case?

Thanks in advance.

Okay, the sidebar is right but within forum manager I now have two separate blocks for email integration. Should I now uninstall 2.5.2? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Uninstalled 2.5.2 and now I have only one box for email integration under forum manager, edit. But now I no longer have the admin cp sidebar email integration and cannot update subscription settings en masse or run your script for email testing. Any ideas. sorry for so many posts, wanted to document all my results with you. Love the package by the way. Worked great in 2.5.2 (after I run update scubscriptions) ... again, have to reenter all forum settings and afraid I will have no way to update the subscription settings once I do so. Thanks in advance again.

An update. Only 2.5.2 works properly. When I install 2.6 or 2.6.1 the xml does not overwrite the prior version. Additionally, it actually seems to break the 2.5.2 and/or 2.6 implementation causing it to have database errors in relation to ei_something i forget column not being in the database. When you get chance please let me know if you want to log in to my implementation and take a deeper look. Back to 2.5.2 for now and hopefully everything should work again. What did 2.6 fix?

Ah bugger, this is a issue with me using two different product id numbers. As I plan for the 3.7 to go in a radically different direction very soon.

Uninstall both mods that you show listing. Then uploaded all the files from the zip in this thread and install the xml file.

I'll try to work on a fix for this. I won't have time til maybe sunday.

Work and not-for-profit organization stuff is taking a heavy toll on my time right now.

Cyricx,

I can't tell you how grateful I am for your work on this mod. This functionality is one of the two elements that stand between me and migrating my mailing lists to a forum format. I have too many members who are still on dial-up or for other reasons cannot stand using forums. They'll only stay around if I give them e-mail. Thanks to you that's possible.

A suggestion: For those who are wanting a cron-based trigger instead of waiting for page refreshes, isn't there a simple way to use cron to trigger a phantom user to refresh a page every so often? :D

Once I update my test board to the most recent vB, I'll attempt to install your mod...

Peace,

Mike D.

Uninstalled and resinstalled and everything is functioning properly, except I am waiting on my web hosting company to enable IMAP in php so I can do email responses. Am I correct in assuming that my email responses will not post to the forums if the cron job cannot run?

I am getting the following error in the Scheduled Tasks, Email Integration cron...

Email Integration
Imap not recognized!! You MUST enable IMAP extensions on your server in your php.ini file!

Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level in /home3/naeadm/public_html/forum/includes/cron/emailintegration.php on line 52

And my response emails are not posting. Bah! Waiting on your hosting provider bites! ;)

Thanks for the great mod again!

itconsultingnv,
Yes, you are correct. It will still send the emails out, but will not process them :)

note, you do NOT have to have IMAP installed, just have the functions enabled in php :)


Mike D,
Hypothetically I guess that is possible, though it is something I have no experience with.



Just to let everyone know I haven't dropped off the planet. I recently discovered the problem with one of our lovely bugs where an email gets stuck in limbo and holds up the process of emails. It has to do with multipart mixed emails and the boundaries. I'm digging through the decode file now to try to figure out what the heck is up. No eta... due to having to decode the decode file to figure out where it's burpin :)

Found an issue with the mimedecode file that comes with php pear. It goofs up entirely when it hits a forwarded message with an attachment.

I'm researching some alternative mail decode class files to find a resolution.

this is a great mod! one thing: in the readme, it says go to "Admincp -> Usergroups -> Auto Subscriptions" but I don't see Auto Subscriptions there...

That will appear after the product xml file is uploaded :)

If you've already done that step, try to refresh your admincp. That'll get everything to recognize :)

Auto Subscriptions is also available under the "Email Integration" heading.

I read through this entire thread and I didn't see this error:

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

Everything worked in spited of the error though. Hmmm
The error occured when I manually ran the process from scheduled tasks.

Well sadly I am getting double posts when it does post via email. It does not clean up after it does post. It reposts them again. It continues to email the posts from the forum every few minutes. I have everything setup exactly according to the specs. This thing has huge potential but far to buggy at this stage. I don't have time to help beta right now but I will most assuredely love this mod upon completion and even pay for the time and effort put in.

I'm using this so that members can leave voicemail messages on a voip number I have, which in turn get emailed as wav files a specific account, picked up by this add-on and posted in a 'voice mail' forum :)

Fantastic!

I am getting the same problem as Tom S. The cron is not cleaning out the POP account and will continually repost. When this occurs and you go to scheduled tasks the cron gives you the 1093 error. If you clean out the pop account and rerun the cron everything works again, until someone posts an email reply with something odd with the email which trips the cron. Then your back in the loop again. Really want this script working but not sure why this is occurring still (have 3.6.2) ... Been posting to another thread where toivo has been assisting but not sure that is right. Uggh... really love the script, want to use it for our non-profit. Can you tell me if this is a known bug and if the issue will ever be resolved.

I have installed 2.6.1 version, have some issues on the hack, and tried to locate AdminCP -> Email Integration -> Forum Setings Help, but I couldn't find it.

These are also not available on my admincp:
"Admincp -> Usergroups -> Auto Subscriptions" but I don't see Auto Subscriptions there...so is this..."Email Integration" Heading on my admin cp.

I can only see the Email Integration Settings Under the Vbulletin Options.

Please advise. Thank you.

Continuing to have the problem where it works for awhile, posts to the forum are sent out and email responses are posted, then suddenly, for no apparent reason it keeps sending an email post over and over and over, when I check the webmail I see the offending email post as well as other posts sent after that one that are sitting there waiting to be processed. If I go into the cron it gives me a line 1093 error, then if I go to the webmail, clear out all of the emails, then run the ei cron again it no longer errors. Don't know if that is related in some way. Anyone know what to do? Is Cyrcicx still supporting this software? Not sure if I should continue spending time on this option until further notice. Please help. Anyone else running this successfully? Thanks!

after setup i can receive notifications but cant post by email
after checking with sheduled tasks i see this why?

Email Integration

hello, thank you for the mod
I am working properly, but I have problems with the miniature of the attachment you are deployed on the thread
leaves the miniature email, and not the one I got from. torrent

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2008/05/82.jpg

I'm having problems with the IMAP part. IMAP and IMAP-SSL is enabled, and I can find no need to enable anything in php.ini. This mod still gives an error about IMAP.

I guess this would involve lot of spam mails into posts isn't it ?

This is a truly inspired product, given that I'm about to try and migrate an old fashioned transitory mail list to a vB forum :)

[S]Just one question at this stage - how can I tell if I have php imap functions enabled on my server ? (I know IMAP works on my server with Outlook, but I'm guessing that is not the same thing as PHP being able to use it)[/S]
Thanks,
Kevin

I'm still bouncing around, but have zero time to look into all the posts yet..

Wife lost her job, so having to take on alot of extra freelance work to keep the bills paid.

No eta on when I'll be able to bust some more arse on this. There are a few new email parsers out I want to try.

Just wanted to give ya all a headsup so you didn't think I was dead LOL.

Just paying bills :)

Thanks for the status update Cyricx. It is appreciated. If I get this working, I will send a donation your way.

Hi,

I have followed the instructions carefully but any emails i respond to just sit in the inbox of the email account. The mod does not pick them up. I have tried both POP and IMAP. I have tried running the cron manually. It still does not pick up.

How should I diagnose this issue?

Thanks,
Josh

The script is not connecting to the mailbox.

Either the hostname, username, password or connection type is incorrect.

Try using the forum settings help script. Depending on your settings for allowing scripts to time out, it may be able to help you determine what your settings should be.

Hi,

I have checked my settings with the hosting provider and they are ok. Where do i find the "forum settings help script"?

Thanks heaps,
Josh
