i have uninstalled already .....


but it looked just like the one in the install file.....

i didnt see any errors or anything ......

It should be the one in the install file without the backslashes...

Can you PM me a link to your forum so that I can have a look at the problem?

Is there a way to make a new thread, instead of only replies?

yes there is. just use the code [newthread-3-abcde], that being [newthread-(forumid)-(emailpass)]

The code as it is now in the first post won't work right though, you'll probably have to adjust some things (as mentioned by someone in the thread) until I have time to update it.

I hope you are successfull with creating this hack.
I am also interested in additionally using this "hack" to post new threads by email. Here is my suggestion of a feature I could use.
A feature that will allow for me to:
1st. setup a new forum just for the following.
2. setup a new user
3. setup a pop3 account for that user.
4. all emails sent to that user's email account be posted as a new thread under the newly created forum?

Reason for this feature would be for mimicking another of our forums so that we have a searchable archive.

How close are you to having a RC or screenshots?

My 3rd question is: Is this turned on separatly from "subscribing to a forum" or "subscribing to a thread" to get the emails that this hack allows to reply to?

This will be a great addon/hack.
Thanks

I have this Error

Did you change the settings to point to your pop3 server?
Can you reach the server with Outlook?

Yes. I have change to my pop3 Server and imap. but with imap or mit a another email addy is the same problem (can call mails mit outlook).

Greetings

Das hat nichts mit SMTP zu tun.

Kannst du mir bitte mal Zugangsdaten zu deinem Board senden per PN damit ich es mir anschauen kann? Danke

Ich habe es nun.
Allerdings krieg ich nun imme

The error that occurred was:
No permission: you do not have permission to post in this forum.

I know its in the thread about creating a new thread using a email! but maybe you could make it more clear? :)

this would be great for posting news in my news forums, as I get news emails!

thx

I am going to wait for an RC release to install this but I have a few questions.
Will the emails we send back increase our post counts?
Will the forumhome Last Post stuff update?

I just remembered I am not sure Ill be able to install this because I have the uShop hack installed and it gives points for new threads/posts.... :(

Yes, Emails you send into the forum will increase the postcount. The forumhome stuff should also update.
The whole part where it inserts the post is done by the same function that entering a normal post uses.

I haven't tested it with the uShop hack, but I don't think there should be any conflicts...

Ok I just asked because I added Article Bot and it posts news from a RSS feed... well when it posts it posts a few threads each time (3 posts every 7 hours) but the forum home always shows the first thread it made that time as the newest. :(
And it was not getting uShop points for the posts but does for any replies. :(

I have it working with the help of the amazing colin..... thanks and it is a truly great hack... :banana:

It seems to be a great hack and i probably will install it later if i got my email settings clear before.

I've tried installing this and I get

Step 4) Obtain Mailserver Data


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: print_form_header() in /home/vsites/xxx/htdocs/forums/vbemailreply_install.php on line 360


If I try to uninstall I get

Step 10) Removing Profilefield

error

Looks like a great hack, just can't install it :(

So more time but when i send a mail i have ...

The error that occurred was:
No permission: you do not have permission to post in this forum.

what is wrong? :(

I get this error, what should I do to fix this?

Process vB Email Replies

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\vb\includes\cron\vbemailreply.p hp on line 55

it was working fine, but now its stopped and I tried to uninstall it to do a reinstall and this is what I get.
Also if I go to the control panel there are lots of email password fields that have now appeared.

picture attached will show you what I mean, HOW CAN I FIX THIS PLEASE.

The installation appears to be fine, however the email that I am getting is empty with the words (no subject) and in the body: [no message]. Even the post itself is missing.

I went in phrases to update just in case, still no luck... Please help!

Which phrases are included in email? I put in my back up copy and I am still getting the same problem. Now, last night I installed, removed it because I did not have IMAP functionality yet, and I am afraid that the removal removed the whole phrases.

I installed and uninstalled so many times. It tells me the same thing everytime: That there is a parse error on eval code at line 11 and that I am missing a ']'. I reverted back and I am still getting the same thing. I'll b getting it with a blank message until I remove the new phrase completely. Which leaves me to believe that the problem is in the phrase.

I looked at the phraseit seems to be fine

~~~~~ NEW ~~~~~
New at \$vboptions[bbtitle]!
You can now reply to the thread by replying to this message. All you need to do is to make sure this code appears in the email subject:
[thread-\$threadinfo[threadid]-\$touser[field\$vboptions[mailserver_profilefieldid]]]
You should also remove this text to ensure your reply is readable by other forum users.
Additionaly, you can start a new thread in the \$foruminfo[title] Forum simply by sending a mail to \$vboptions[mailserver_emailadress] with this code in the subject: [newthread-\$foruminfo[forumid]-\$bbuserinfo[field\$vboptions[mailserver_profilefieldid]]]
~~~~~ NEW ~~~~~

yep! $touser[field should be closed in both instances ....before $vboptions

I am getting this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imap_open() in /home/xxx/domains/xxx.com/public_html/vb/includes/cron/vbemailreply.php on line 55

The install went fine, the pop account is working fine in outlook. I use port 1010 but changed the port from 110 to 1010 in the php file.

Any other idea's?

I get the same error too. What I did was commenting this out. However, when I send a mail with the variable [thread-$threadinfo[threadid]-password], it post, but by itself in no forum, and of course as such, the post cannot be found

When I try to change the thread into [post-$threadinfo[threadid]-password]

then nothing happened.

Any idea's or suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I have fixed my error it was my php not compiled with imap so thats all good and the cron works but the emails i recieve are blank.

and i am getting this error as others are

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ']' in /home/xxxl/domains/xxx/public_html/vb/includes/functions_newpost.php(1091) : eval()'d code on line 11

blank emails? Make sure you setup a username and password in the settings. After that, If you manage to post in forums, please let me know how you did it.

and for the variable error that you are getting, it has to do with the phrase 'notify' where they are missing a ']' . But that is another story. You'll find out that variable profilefiled will never pass and you'll end up harcoding it directly in code.

I now have this working (kind of) i will post what i have done later today

Thanks in advance. I am anxious to learn what you have done for the no forum permission error message.

Firstly if you get the following

This means your server's PHP is not compiled with IMAP. This is a core requirement of this hack. If you have root access to your server you can recompile php with IMAP if not ask your host.

As Lionel posted earlier in thread i had to change the following in the phase notify. This was to fix the fact that i was getting blank email's


FROM
TO

I am still playing with it but as it stands i can send replies to threads i havent yet checked to see if i can create new thread. Sorry i have never had premission problem.


Colin - Great hack ;)

ok after further investigations i have noticed the following

1. i have to put the subject in the following format [newthread-2-password]] if i do it as [newthread-2-password] i get a message saying i have not reached the min no of characters. This leaves the extra ] in the subject.
2. The cron doesnt seem to work the only way i can make it run is by manually running it twice (even if i set it up using my server cron job)

any idea's are most welcome.

you'll find out that this does not work

1-the cron will never work
2-new users do not have email password automatic
3-you'll never be able to post in forums

and more...

my suggestion is to download chen's version and try to analyze it as I am doing.

I can do 3 no 2 i am not bothered about as it will use it more for moderator's and admin's it's no 1 i need to sort out

I fully understand this is a beta and am happy to work with colin to make this a final release.

Just wanted to mention that I'm currently working on fixing this up.

I'll update the first post with all the new information when I'm done.

thanks Colin and if you need any help or testers please let me know. (pm me)

We appreicate your support:)

thanks Colin. We have been struggling on that one.

OK, I updated the first post with some better installation instructions and edited the vbemailreply.php file a bit.

I think I'll have to reupload an updated install file once I'm at home... but otherwise it should work.
Please wait for that (another 3 or 4 hours) and then test it.
