Not a problem Chris, ready when you are mate!

Yeah, I think we are ready to wait until you're ready to release this and able to make sure everything is in line. You're doing us all a favor, after all. I did send you a little incentive anyway -- I encourage others to go ahead and donate some $$ to you for your efforts. I don't think you're the type to just drop the hack, but make it the best you can.

Thanks again!

All -

In my usual busy and hectic weekend way of life I'll be out until Sunday evening starting tomorrow morning.. Heading out on vacation with the famn damily to St Louis :)

Gotta keep them happy or the wife and kids will string me up! :)

Ok I'll explain once more. I pull mail in from a mailing list to my BB as read-only threads. it's 1-way communication. I assemble them into threads like gmail assembles emails into threads. If you want an example, check out http://www.diyelectriccar.com/forums/ and have a look at the "External Information" forum, which has a few forums that use this. You'll see immediately what I'm talking about. I think this will be a common use of your mod as people try to gravitate toward forums but don't want to leave an old mailing list behind.

I will absolutely check this out sunday or monday to get a complete idea of what you are hoping to accomplish with this hack, and then see what I can do to accomodate that as well :)

Hello. I installed this mod, and it works great, except that attachments are not working. It will add the attachment to the post. When you click the attachment, you just get a page cannot be displayed error. See here:

Please let me know what i did wrong (I followed instructions). Thanks.

Unfortunately with my timeline for getting this version released I wasn't able to check out this bug or miss-install yet. I will check it some today and more sunday.

Hopefully it'll be something easy I can figure out for ya in the hour I have before I gotta start getting ready for the trip :)

Sounds good Chris updated and installed!

No. There isn't any other modification about Google Apps. Basically I use it to manage my e-mail. I can create accounts there and manage them. I tried using Google's settings and it doesn't work; I didn't get any e-mails.

So basically, your using a (name)@gmail.com as the email address to catch the replies and new threads from?

This looks great! AyeCapn alerted me to this mod. I intend to use it pretty much like Tralala -- no email posting, just email notification of ALL posts.

My Yahoo users who I'm trying to get migrated over to vB are upset that they only get emails for threads they've posted in (forget trying to teach them about subscribing), and that even then they only get a notice of the first new post, not all of them.

So I'm installing now.

Also, I'm very impressed with all the work and updating and feedback you're giving, Cyricx, so I'm supporting with some $ too.

Thanks.

Also, the emails are completely phrased. The two you'll need to fiddle with to customize and remove the reply stuff will be "ei_notify_thread_forum" and "ei_notify_post_forum".

Since you are not going to use the email retrieval side of it you will not need imap.

But I must stress to everyone else that will be using email retrieval... be very careful fiddling with those phrases as the cron job looks for

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

and

You can also begin a new thread by sending an email to $foruminfo[ei_replyaddress]!

and cuts everything out between that to remove the signatures and the links from emails and posts. If you mess with either of those or remove them, signatures will get duplicated in posts and emails :)

But Tralala, since your talking about not using that retrieval, you won't experience any side effects from completely chopping up those phrases to your delight :)

.
EDITED:

I'm using it the same way as Tralala (i.e., not letting users post via email). I followed all the install directions, then revised the phrases "ei_notify_thread_forum" and "ei_notify_post_forum" and disabled the cron job. I enabled usergroups for "Email Reply Integration Settings" for all forums. I enabled "Enable Email Integration for this forum?" for each forum. But no notifications are going out.

Any ideas on where I should be looking for what I'm missing?

In the forum settings, I tried both filling in and leaving blank the "Email Address user's should reply to" field. I assume I can leave it blank since I don't want them to reply to the emails, but neither try worked.

Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

I am still having problems with the links on the email. If I copy and paste the links they look as follows;

"note that the only intentional space is left after http."

No. Let me explain:

I let Google handle e-mails for my domain. I put their MX records there so I can get e-mail addresses like "webmaster[at]usingyouros[dot]com". So can this hack work for something like this?
