great thanks colin, Would you advise that we uninstall and reinstall? Or just replace the vbemail_reply.php?

you don't have to uninstall, but I advise checking that you have finished all the steps documented in the first post, as I have added steps...

ok thanks i will let you know how i get on :)

Colin, Thanks for the revised version.

Below are my findings and what i have done.

Actions i took

uploaded vbemailreply.php

Findings

I can now send to the forum :) using thread and newthread without adding the extra ] on the end. :) :) :)



My main problem is now is the cronjob. Maybe i am doing it wrong but i cannot get the mail to be delivered without manually running the cron job twice from within the VB control. I have also tried to run the job from my web hosting CP neither work.

I have also noticed when creating a new thread i noticed that it does not bring the title in the conformation email

I have tested the following and all work fine

[Quote]
smilies
Bold Text

I am going to test further.

Thanks again for your continued support.

about the cron job...

this is done using the normal cron system.

If you have it set up on a testboard, you might not have enough activity to trigger the cron...


Also, all the bbcodes/smilies should work, as it uses the same function.

I keep on getting the same 'no permission to post in forums'

Also, when replying to a thread, *not* posting a new one If I only put the code in there without a subject, it is all coming backing back to me.

if i had to guess it might be a conflict with another hack ? or maybe a difference between 3.0.3 and 3.0.1? If it helps colin i am using 3.0.3 un hacked.

I am using 3.01 if that means something

I commented out that section for the no forum permission and now I am getting a forum closed error

now I am convinced it has to do with the version. It does not see the forumid. When I comment out in vbreply both sections for the no forum permission and the forum closed error, I get a mysql error for an empty forumid

lastthread = '\This is the test thread\'',
lastthreadid = 1614,
lasticonid = 0
WHERE forumid =
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 9

mysql error number: 1064

Colin,

I found a cure to the cron problem :) i needed to add

in my index.php above

I believe it add a query to yuo home page doing this but it works for me.

Also on a different note you might want to add a notice on the first post stating that PHP compiled with IMAP is a requirement.

I have reinstall but the self problem.

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

:(

Seinfeld,

What version is your VB? What hack have you installed that user functions_newpost.php?

Well, that's not really a cure.

What that does is just add a call to vbemailreply.php on each call to your index.php, which defeats the purpose of the cron.
On a busy board, that's not really an option...

@ freeshares1: I have the version 3.03 and hacks have: vBXirc, SMS System and WelcomePanelHack.

All I get is
The error that occurred was:
Invalid email password: the email password you specifed does not match the one in the database

I had several problems installing it and the only way I could uninstall it was comment out part 10 of the install script, but it didn't uninstall everything, so I've ended up with a load of password profile fields, I've deleted them all but I don't think it is reading the right one now, how do I find out which field it is reading?

The fieldid is a setting in your vBulletin Options.

seems like I'll have to go over the uninstall routine as well...

I have that problem too on 3.01. Regardless that I am admin, or that I post in an open to everybody forum.

I've got imap compiled and the mail server is pop3

Before I give up completely, can someone confirm please that this is working or not working on 3.01?

Unfortunatelly, I don't have any vB 3.0.1 files, so I can't compare them to see what changes have been made.

would that be ok with vbulletin and you if I zip and mail you a copy of function_newpost with licence info removed?

Oh, just thought of something: are you sending the emails from the email account that is associated with your user?

sure of course. I receive the notification and I click reply.

awesome idea, I'm excited for a stable version

Something new is happening. I enabled access masks and gave myself permissions all over. Now the error message is no longer saying that I have no permissions to access FORUMS. The permissions error is about accessing THREAD. I disabled access masks, and it still says no permission to post in thread.

That would actually mean that the thread is hidden or locked or something...

I'll have a look at it when I get some time.

I tought you should be the first to know: I am able to insert a thread.
The problem was from another hack....

Thank you for a super hack!!! :banana:

But right after that, I got an error with [newthread] same old permissions and other post with [thread] in same forum were not successful. Maybe there is a time limit in script to avoid flooding?

is there a way to bypass site's email account and directly put in the email which is sending in the subscribed threads?

I've looked at that as well, but from what I see, that would require a change to the vbmail() function...

can i ask why is this still in beta?

I've still got some things to fix up, and there was also something I wanted to add, allthough I can't remember what it was at the moment :)

Colin, a stupid question does this hack deals with sessions? I was able to successfuly send a thread once, this after I recreated my sessions database. Also, I have been trying to send all the emails while I was online (webmail). Maybe because it knew I was online on the site and that couldn't be me sending an email? I know that's silly, but I must explore all the possibilities....

Ok I just tried installing this...

When an email is being sent out from the server it comes from the email address specified in my vbulletin options, not the special email box I setup for replies to go to.

I want users to be able to click reply and reply to their messages not have to remove the address in the to box and then use the correct address.

How do I fix this?

Thanks!

I'm also getting blank emails from the forum when my posts are updated. Also no subject line. I've changed both instances of the notify phrase to match the required text but still nothing. Any ideas?

try to update your phrases ...

More and more puzzling to me. It works from outlook express, but not from webmail based on same server... like I posted above. Does this make sense?

question... why adding a new userfield for a email, when users already have their email embeded in their userinfos ?!

i don't see the use of a second email added to the userfields, using these userfields is always a crap... why not simply use the actual email, or add a new field in the user table for a secondary email ?!

anyway, i may make the change myself (personal thoughts, so personal use!)

nexialys, it seems you didn't look through the code all the way. There isn't any email in the additional userfield, what's added is a emailpassword.


Also, I don't see why you say the userfields are crap... To me they're one of the best things in vB3!

nah, maybe it's useful, but badly built... you need to geopardise the field# instead of having a hardcoded name or id...

and email password or new email, i don't see why you don't just give it a try in the user table itself... would make less management from the system, and anyway... it's my own point of view.. you have yours.. ;)
