Love it, Installed.

Moderation Auto-PM v1.0.1 has been released!

This version fixes the bug with the exclude forums list.

To upgrade, please upload the 3 PHP files, making sure to overwrite the old ones. There is no need to re-import the Product XML.

Thanks,
Alan.

P.S: Thanks to everyone who's installed the mod so far, and thanks to everyone for their kind words! :)

I'd like to install this, but for very large boards, I think it needs some additional work. Anyone feel like taking this on?

1) PM sender is the moderator who actually did the action (there's no way I'm having every pm come from me).

2) Option, somehow, to not send them, especially for post deletions. And I'd love to see that option restricted by usergroups. So, for example, admins could delete posts without sending pm's, and forum mods couldn't.

3) A phrased paragraph to include, for each type of action. For example, for deletions we'd want to include an explanation of why posts are commonly deleted, who to address in case of questions, and a link to our FAQ. For moves, something different, and so on.

Also, I'd be interested in hearing whether this sends a user a PM if they have their PM's turned off, especially if they have their "receive administrative notices" turned off. And also, what it does if the user's PM box is full.

Hi,

That's the default setting with this mod :) If you don't specifiy a username, it sends it from the moderators.

Adding a "Send PM" popup is on the todo list for a later version - don't quote me on that though :)

Each action / type is an individual phrase, so you could do that now just by editing the phrases.

The only time it doesn't send a PM is if PM's are globally turned off in the vB options. Other than that, it forces the PM through whether they have PM's turned off, or their inbox is full.

Edit: Actually, I'm not sure on that last part about forcing the PM through. It will force the PM through, but if they've got PM's turned off, I don't believe it will as they'll never see it. I'll have to test it and see.

Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks, Alan. That helps a lot. If that pop-up did appear in a later version, you couldn't get me to click install fast enough :)

For now, I'm going to have to weigh the pros and cons, because we do a lot of small maintenance that we really don't want notices going out for.

ditto and installed..:D

umm does it work for soft deletes?
i don' seem to get any pm's for soft deleted threads

Yep, seems to work ok here.

Are you certain the forum you are deleting the thread in, isn't in the Exclude Forums list?

Also, does it do anything if you hard-delete the thread?

Thanks,
Alan.

When moving a thread, if the thread is moved to a forum the user cannot see or access, does it still send them a PM showing where it was moved to?
