I have some users on my site that intiate posts throigh the email intergration.

It works perfectly for me... But only me. Some other users (especially the newer ones) cannot create new posts using the module.

Whenever a few of these users attempt to start a new post it just basically sits in the inbox of the email account assigned to that forum.

Whenever I forward a email to the address it is picked up right away and posted. That email is also deleted from the mailbox I sent too.

Just curious if anyone else has had this issue.

the forum board is http://mymodeltalk.com/jobs

Hi Cyricx,

Email integration has been working great for us.

Is there a way if some user attach a (allowed) file with the message then email integration patch also send out this attachment?

Having this function would be of great help. Thanks.

First question would be, is their usergroupid in the list of allowed to post in the Forum Manager?

Specifically this setting:

Please enter the usergroup IDs that can post and reply by email.



I had considered this but haven't thought about working it in yet as if someone sent outan attachment and you had 200 people setup for the emails. I would tend to think that sending out 200 emails with attachments could be a real stress on the servers.

That was the reason for going with the links to the attachments. :)

I'll have to put some more thought into this one.

Now that I have a solid version for 3.6 that I'm happy with I'll work on the version for 3.7 :)

I need some guidance on where to look for the problem I'm having.

Installed version 4.6 and have been able to post to the forum via e-mail perfectly. I tested invalid addresses and those have not posted, as expected, just happy it's working. For all intents and purposes e-mail to forums is working perfectly.

What's not working is e-mail notices going out.

1. Checked the forum and group settings to ensure that they are setup properly.

2. Tested sending e-mail out from vB through Maintenance > Diagnostics and that works just fine.

But when a post is added to the forum, either directly or through this Add-on, zero notifications are going out. I don't know if this is a vB problem, or if this is an Add-on problem, so I thought I'd just post it here and see if anyone has any suggestions. I'm at a loss.

Help! Thanks in advance.

Are the individuals subscribed to the forums?

Go to your admincp -> email integration -> auto subscriptions:

And run the scripts there to ensure all the forum subs are updated :)

Lastly, double check your Vbulletin Options -> vbulletin options -> Email options and verify that you do not use the smtp authentication.

If after following those steps you still have issues, please PM me and admin login and I'll happily check out whats going on :)

Yes.

Done that as well.


SMTP is not being used.


Thank you for the offer! I'm stepping out for lunch at the moment, but I may PM when I get back in a short while. You're definitely going out of your way to help me like this. Thank you.

Not a problem. I am completely devoted to this modification coming across as A+ :)

Only other thing I can think of is to ensure you have enabled Email Integration and have fully filled out the email address user's should reply to as a full email address in the Forum Manager.

Anyway, if you'd like, pm me with an admin login. I'll need access to the vbulletin options (to verify the settings for EI), forum manager (to verify the forum settings), plugin manager (to make sure there isn't any problems with other mods messin each other up) and what forum you have enabled :)

With the problem your describing that should let me resolve this problem and confirm if this is a bug or a issue between two mods. :)

Cyricx,

It is fantastic to see so much activity here. Kudos for getting another release out over the weekend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I am getting ready to install 2.4 on a backup Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 box (probably tomorrow). I will need to test it before I take it live. If you need to do any testing on my system, or if you have any specific tests you need done, let me know.

John

Thanks John, but I do believe this one is issue free :)

I had a report with a bug with event forums, but loaded up both mods and tested fully. Found no compatability issues.

The smtp authetication doesn't work, but I haven't had a chance to try Alex's suggested code above :)

Tek put it through the ringer with php 4 so I'm solid on that.

I'm actually very confident on this code :)

The only thing people might experience a burp with is when they install this, if they have been using the old versions, and they start to use the "New Email Layout", the old formatted emails won't go through.

But if your started out on 2.4, or choose to use the old layout for emails. Your set to rock and roll :)


I'll be working with mashby tonight to determine what he's got going on, but I believe that will be a isolated issue :)
