Break it on my site, and I can find the bugs easier then I can try to find how they happened on someone else's server :)
What is the url of your test site? I'll be happy to help you test it. Maybe post the url in the main post of this thread as well.

I have modified the phrases for the new thread and new post emails so that they no longer contain the 'reply between the lines section' and make no reference to replying or starting threads by email. It's a bit of a bodge but it will work. However, in the notification emails I am getting far too much space above and below the previous message section.

I'm assuming this must be down to a php file - can someone please tell me which file it is that creates these email message?
Kevin,
The forum has an option to send emails to subscribed users. You do not need EI for that.

Yes, but I want to subscribe people to certain forums by default when they subscribe.

It's academic now anyway because I'm pressing a head with EI after seeing reply #843

Would someone please explain how I make this mod to a forum running 3.7.1 (what file to I edit? - I can't find anything called "newthread_post_complete"

Thanks,
Kevin

Code:
$poster = $bbuserinfo['username'];
to

Code:
$poster = $vbulletin->userinfo[username];
in the newthread_post_complete plugin.

EDIT: I know my profile shows 3.6.7, but this was also on my 3.6.8 PL2 dev board.

Another question for the EI experts :)

How long should it take for a reply by email to be posted on the forum?

I just had one take half an hour to come through so it ended up out of sequence with another post on the forum. In fact it was as if the forum post triggered the retrieval of the email reply.

Hi Kevin,

That is exactly how the 'cron' jobs work, they rely on the forum being accessed. I scheduled a small PHP script on an another box to access the home page every so often to guarantee a reasonable response time to emails.

Hi Toivo,

Would you mind explaining how I can do this because most of my users will be migrating from a mail list and I fear that many of them will use email integration and not access the forum very often, at least initially.

Regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Here is the code, working under vB 3.6.8. Replace the variables $forum_url and $cron_url.

The script reads the home page, extracts the cron.php with the parameters from the result and then sends a request for cron.php which runs the scheduled task(s).

Check the results from the vB back end to adjust the interval in your crontab or Windows scheduler, depending on which other cron jobs your site has.

Code:
<?php
/**
 * @forum_read.php
 * @20080723 toivo@totaldata.biz
 * reads the forum home page and triggers cron jobs to run
 * tested on vBulletin 3.6.8.
 * requires php >= 4.3.0
 */

$forum_url = 'http://example.com/testvb/index.php';
// cron url from <img src=
$cron_url = 'http://example.com/testvb/cron.php?';

// access forum
$run_status = forum_read($forum_url, $cron_url);
return;

function forum_read($forum_url, $cron_url) {
//  read file contents
  $page = file_get_contents($forum_url);
  if ($page === false) {
            $msg = "forum_read.php unable to read ".$forum_url;
            error_log($msg);
            return false;
  }
// find cron.php
  $cron_start_pos = strpos($page, $cron_url);

  $msg = '';
  if ($cron_start_pos === false) {
            $msg = "forum_read.php unable to find cron string";
            error_log($msg);
            return false;
  }

// end of url
  $cron_end_pos = strpos($page, '"', $cron_start_pos);
  if ($cron_end_pos === false) {
            $msg = "forum_read.php unable to find end of cron string";
            error_log($msg);
            return false;
  }
// extract full url string with cron.php
  $cron_url_length = $cron_end_pos - $cron_start_pos;
  $cron_full_url = substr($page, $cron_start_pos, $cron_url_length );
 //  read cron.php with parameters
  $page = file_get_contents($cron_full_url);
  if ($page === false) {
      $msg = 'forum_read.php '.$cron_full_url." : - PROBLEM?";
            error_log($msg);
            return false;
  }
  return true;
}
?>
If you are going to run it from Unix/Linux, a shell script similar to the following can be scheduled to run from a crontab entry:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# load forum home page and read cron.php
php /root/forum_read/forum_read.php
exit 0

In Windows, you can run the script from a command file through the Windows scheduler.

toivo

AHHHH. This all makes sense now. I have been scratching my head to find out why EI is inactive at night. I was starting to think the little men who run around and fetch emails are sleeping. LOL

riahiarshia 07-22-2008 02:07 PM
I put in the workaround in #843. I have not had any issues so far.
