Ok, I figured it out. I discovered that there was actually no plugin to handle the case where someone edits a thread thread via the Edit Thread option on the Thread Tools menu. Since I frequently change thread titles via this method (rather than from the forum view via AJAX) I was really missing these functions.

Therefore, effectively the following functionality was missing when using the edit thread option:

Title edit notification
Stick/Unstick notification
Open/Close notification

The attached plugin fixes these issues. It's tested on my setup only which is VB 3.6.7 PL1, using Auto-PM v2.0.1.

I'm sorry - I don't know very much about writing plugins, so I can't actually support this add-in. Hopefully it will be picked up by the author and included into the standard build. I'll send him an email to let him know.

Next I'm going to try and work on an integration between Auto-PM and the vbRecycle mod.

For those people running vBRecycle I've just released a bridge mod between vBRecycle and Moderation Auto-PM. It extends the functionality of Moderation Auto-PM to also generate PMs to users when the recycle function is used.

You can find this mod here.

Please note, this has nothing to do with the XML file attached to my previous post - the previous post concerns providing some functionality that was missing from the original file.

It would be good if the functionality in both of these modifications were rolled into an updated version of Moderation Auto-PM so that support for vBRecycle could be provided automatically.

Hi Mfyvie,

Thanks for the additions / updates to this mod, I'm sure they'll come in very useful to others here :)

Unfortunately, I'm afraid that I cannot add them to the original mod. Along with not owning a vBulletin licence, I lost most of the code to my mods a while ago after a PC replacement. Also, I'm afraid that I cannot edit this mod post either (due to the lack of licence) so I cannot add your mods to the description either :(

However, as mentioned in this post, the offer still stands for someone to take over this mod :)

Thanks,
Alan.

Hi Alan,

Thanks stopping by! I must say this sounds like a great shame. I think you did a fantastic job with this mod, and it has made life on my board SO much better!

I guess there is some good news and some bad news. The good news is that since I already have the current version, it would be relatively easy for me to roll all my changes into it (including support for vBRecycle (if installed)) and to export it again as a new version. There is just a very small bug - but if you could give me some advice on it I'm sure it won't be a big issue.

As much as I'd love to take over your mod for you, I'm afraid I just don't have the technical skills (with VB and PHP in any case) to answer any requests for feature enhancements or support it properly. I just wouldn't be able to do it justice.

If we can figure out some other way to get the files updated (I PM'd one of the admins to ask for help), I'd be more than happy to repackage a new version though.

Regards,
Mark

Hmm, that's an oversight in the permissions. When we gave members of the coders group permission to reply in their own modifications (to continue supporting them) it should have included the ability to edit their replies as well, but it seems that got missed. Try now.

I have a problem with exclude forums.

I changed in class_autopm_checker.php

var $exclude = false;
to
var $exclude = true;

Now in the excluded forums will don't send a pm if a thread is deleted, but if posts will deleted it sends a pm, it works just with threads.

Did I need to change more things?

Is it work with 3.6.7 ?

It seems to be working on 3.6.7 on my board. Nevertheless, for some mysterious reason, PMs are sent, but the pmtotal and pmunread counters aren't updated... Anyone knows how to solve this?

[S]Those PMs are sent as a system one. In other words they have system flag. That is why they didn't not count.[/S]

Hi Maxim,

is there any way (in code) to alter the flag?

would like to see this implemented in a future release as well :)

Actually, after diving in to the code again, I'm unsure about the flag-thing. Code (in class_dm_pm.php gets executed until the counters need to be updated [which is the latest command when saving a PM]). The query is correct (I've been scanning all SQL queries), the code runs through that query, but the user record is not updated...
And that's really weird...

I will answer you tomorrow.
I made some test today, but I need more time and want home now :D

Yes. What I wrote is nonsense :(
There is no any flag.
I fully agree with you words.

There real thing is here:

When some one uses 'Advance Edit' to change my post a get a PM about that and "Private Messages: Unread 1, Total 1." are updated.

When some one uses 'Quick Edit' to change my post a get a PM about that but "Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 0." are not updated! :(
But! When I check ANY PM in my Inbox folder and for example use 'Mark as read', then "Private Messages: Unread 0, Total 1." get updated.

I am trying to look throw it.

I get a good answer from vBulletin's support team.
Here it is:

When you make a "Quick Edit" only the changes of the post are updated at the server. Nothing changes with the user session because the page is not reloaded in the browser.

With the "Advanced Edit" there are several page loads. Each page load will update the user's session record.

That it.

Hi Maxim,
thanks for looking into it. So I guess there's no way to update the counters when a moderator edits a post via the quick edit?

can future versions have an option to exclude certain members from it...like exclude admin based on members ID?
