Well, this proves that my mod won't work :)

But try this as your subject:


[thread-466]



JC

yep I even tryed [thread-466] as the subject and still no go
I know it has to be something simple

That was just getting the reply to work.


I'm trying to get the server to process the email BEFORE it gets stuck in the DB as a post.........

I think I have given up however :)

JC

ah ha, oh no, you cany give up yet, dont give up, 1 more step and you will be done right, thats what demo is all about right :)

Before you try the above, you must remove my mods........

JC

can I jus attached the files and send them to you ?
I ahve tryed everything, I no it has to be something simple of my end just im just not doing right i guess

I downloaded the latest one and it still posts it as guest if I reply by email.

what is your current config
phpversion, mysql, os, email server ?
im curious cause I cant get it to work

Redhat Linux 7.2, PHP 4.1.2, mySQL 3.23.49.

okay I got this to work for me two times to day, but strangly
it only works if I reboot my server, can someone explain their experiences in getting this to work ? if you have gotten this to work

orca this can only happen if u reply from email that doesnt exist in the users' database.. which cant happen.. very strange

Well, I sent it not from my home-acount. May I didn't notice that the sender was changed...

anybody fund a solution for my problem yet ?

If someone posts a nasty message on your BB, this system means that, regardless of what you do, your have still 'published' this message to subscribed users.

This means, reluctantly, that we've had to switch out nice "message in the e-mail" reply off.

Er, no, don't do that.

If you have four replies in a thread, you'll get four e-mails...!!

okay I get this error now

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forums\mailreply.php on line 37

im on a MDaemon 5.0.5 email server now

HypeDave: This worked for me:

Find this line:
$permissions=getpermissions($threadinfo[forumid]);

Replace it with:
$permissions=getpermissions();

I hope that helps.

Can anyone told to me how i can start the mailreply.php via crontab?

point your crontab to the following path

/home/account/public_html/forums/mailreply.php

I have it installed and working. I set up a cron job to run the mailreply.php evey 5 minutes. MUCH easier than the other "email posts" hack. Thanks for the great hack!

There are 3 things that would make it work better for me:

1. I can put the thread id in the subject, but unless it's at the beginning of the subject line, mailreply.php won't post it. Is there a way for it to ignore the RE:? Maybe add an * before the thread id and have it look for it as a marker?

2. When replying by email, the post doesn't go back out to subscribers of the thread, so no one knows they replied unless they go back to the site. Can anything be done about that?

3. This is related to the Points hack by Shinra and the "points for posting" hack by Iguacu. Points aren't added when replying by email. Not a big deal, but would be nice to know how to fix.

Thanks again!

This thread has been inactive for quite a while ... does it still work since we need something like this badly ??

Or, is there a newer, fully released hack ??

bump

anymore information on this being updated?

My goal is to be able to allow selected users to send an email from their client to my ArGoSoft mail server, and then have the contents posted in news section.

A: Will this hack do that?
B: Will this hack work on vB 3.0.7?

This is an old hack for vB2. Hacks written for vB2 will not work on vB3.

Do a search in teh vB3 section and you will find something like you are looking for i think.

The hack is called vB Mail Reply :)
