No, it's something I haven't been able to incorporate yet.

The biggest brainfart is how I'm going to have people define prefixes when they are sending a new thread without it being a pain in the ass.

I'll be lookin for beta testers very soon as I'm going to rewrite the regex from the ground up.

So far 2.3 will have:

• Memory saving code fix for bbcode parser - DONE 8/28!
• vbmail for posts of threads and replies from forums - DONE 8/28!
• select which folder emails pull from per email address - DONE 8/28!
• Added error message for what forum is causing the error when manually running the cron job - DONE 8/28!
• Added userid to the display output for the autosubscription script - DONE 8/28!

I'm currently working on vbmail to be used for the cronjob and for a userinterface for forumsubscriptions. The interface skeleton code was provided by Ed. I've almost got it reformated to be able to handle mass appeal :)

edit - o yeah... duh. to be a beta tester PM me please and I'll reply with the url and logins for the test site.

parse it from the subject line?

RE: subject prefixes

Well - I may have come up with a workaround for the email replies --
it pulls a default prefix for the forum and applies it accordingly -- works in my test cases.

If you could give me a hint how to change the out bound email subjects both via a forum post and a email response, that would be HUGE


FIRST:
update the product-threadprefix_english.xml in two spots:

SECOND:
add a lookup function in functions_threadprefix.php:

I can totally do that for replies, and can start off the prefix with the new threads that start from the forums. But concern is how do you assign prefixes to new threads started from email? :)

The only way I can think of would be requiring the person to put like

(this is the prefix) Email title

in the subject line, but that way they would have to know all the prefixes to know which one to choose :(


I'll have to work this into the next beta. If you tack on the prefix to the subject line, it will continue to grow and grow and grow and eventually if the thread gets 20 replies, your subject line will become nothiing more then the prefix repeating itself :)

The default prefix is a great idea though!! For forums that require a threadprefix, I can have it use the default one. I'll work this into the next version provided the regex's don't make my brain explode :)

Thats a good point on the repeating PREFIX
how does the code handle the current prefix when a user hits reply?

Disregards it when it sends out the email right now. It doesn't prefix the title in the emails.

I did it that way til I could determine a good method to assign prefixes to newthreads from email.

I think I'll go with the default method.. maybe I'll work it into the forum manager so you can select which prefix to assign to new threads started from email. Hmmm much to think on :)

I must be doing something wrong then, because mine definitely prefixes the titles

[Development-t-9] Why is there no user prefix

Any ideas?

Your forums do. But the emails do not, to keep them from repeating themselves indefinately.

As I mentioned, I did it this way til I could determine how I would assign prefixes for new threads from emails :)

Most likely the next version will support thread prefixes. It entirely depends on how severe rewriting the regexs will be.

If they take a long time then I'll release 2.3 without the thread prefix support and work on that for 2.4. As right now, the regexs take priority :)

But I will definately have support for thread prefixes soon! As I use those as well on my forums :)

That is the subject line that is sent via email ---
maybe we aren't on the same page here. But the title definately gets a prefix slapped onto it
when it is sent to the email recpts.


UPDATE: maybe the EI script is using the parent (top level) title -- ?
in that case, you never have to worry about the growing subject. The sendder can change the title and it always rverts back to the originating parent thread ??
