AutoPM after addBuddy

What: This will send an automatic PM to a user after you add him/her to your Buddy List. The PM you automatically sent is saved within your outfolder and the Admin can modify the title and message of the PM by changing the phrases.

1 Product (1 plugin and 2 phrases)

Versions / Features:

1.0.0 - released on 1/9/06
1.0.1 - added automatic approval link into body of PM received by user
added a check to prevent looping of the PM if the receiver already has the sender on his/her buddylist
1.0.2 - added an anti-harassment link in the PM to deter users from "annoying" others into becoming their friends.
added link so receiver of PM can easily view sender's profile.
1.0.3 - cleaned up code and added link for recipient of PM to view sender's profile from within PM
1.0.4 - Fixed bug which was wrongly sending PM to someone when user added someone to his/her ignore list

To Install: Just import the xml file as a product from within AdminCP>PluginSystem>ManageProducts>Add/ImportProduct

To change the title of the PM, edit $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit], and to change the message of the PM, edit $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_mes].

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!

Thanks: Thanks to Andreas for writing the [HowTo] Send PM's Automatically. This was inspired by Cloud Warrior's really cool vbFriends hack, which lacked this functionality and it seemed like many people would want it.

about: I'm taking this out of beta, as i think it's working all right by now. Any advice on how to improve this, comments, or bugs - are more than welcome, as I will do my best to address all.

If you use this, please click the install thingie :)

ok, first suggestion, it seems to work fine but you need to allow HTML and PHP so that we can make reference to usernames and link back if you know what I mean.

Here is what i tried to make which will be normal for any users to do is to aprove the new fried request so that they both become new friends.

Quote:

Hello, I just added you to my Friend List. If you would like to be friends, please add me to yours. Thanks! :)

<a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&userlist=buddy&u=$userinfo[userid]">Approve $userinfo[username] as your friend!</a>

I was trying to figure that out, without enabling html across the whole boards. But I couldn't figure out how to get the html to display properly, as adding the html in the phrase just causes the html code to be displayed. :(

I'm sure there's a way to get the html enabled just for this specific instance of sending a PM, and not across the entire PM system, i just need to find out how.

It would be nice if there were another field in the PM datanager such as:
$pmdm->set('allowhtml', 1); but no such luck.

I'll try to figure it out... great idea!

We would also need some statements like if he approves, do not send a PM, can this be done??

i used vbuddies plugin and the sendpm doesn't work aswell as this one however it might be worth taking a look at the plugin for it to help with variables it
has a link to their profile in it

Hi there,

I've installed it and it works. I have some suggestions for future versions. I could do them all by myself but I don't have the time at the moment ;)

Possibility to send the pm from a defined user account or from the user who added the recipient. For example: I use a "Bot" to store some external information into the forum. He could also be used to send the pm. Maybe some others would like that, too.
After a quick look on your code, I found there is no check if the recipient already has added the sender to his buddy list. If that happens maybe another phrase should be chosen without a sentence like "If you would like to be friends, please add me to yours", i.e. just "I've added you to my buddy-list" or "User $1 has added you to his buddy-list". Got my idea? :)

If more gets into my mind, I'll post it.

That's quite easy and a quickie. Here we go:

1) Find in original code

Code:

        $pmdm->set('title', $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit]); 

        $pmdm->set('message', $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_mes]);

2) Replace with

Code:

        $anti_autopm_bud_tit = str_replace("$1",$vbulletin->userinfo['username'],$vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit]);

        $pmdm->set('title', $anti_autopm_bud_tit); 

        $anti_autopm_bud_mes = str_replace("$1",$vbulletin->userinfo['username'],$vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_mes]);

        $pmdm->set('message', $anti_autopm_bud_mes);

3) Use $1 in the phrases where you like to get the username

wow, thanks for this, but now is there a way to put a link in there somewhere, like I think you should be able since you got this to work...

Like a link of what i posted before for that user to automatically add him (approve)??

thanks!!

i didn't see any of your new posts until i just got this requested feature added. i was able to use a custom BBcode in order to avoid having to enable HTML in PMs globally, so now the approval link thingie in the PM message body seems to work. Let me know how it works for you.

Just looked into your changes ;) I think if you can use a self-made bbcode you also could use the standard url bbcode so there is no need to add a custom bbcode. You could do that by inserting

HTML Code:

[url=$2/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=buddy&u=$3]click to accept[/url]

into the phrase. For example (a 3rd person message phrase version):

HTML Code:

Hello,



$1 has added you to his buddy-list. If you like to get friends you need to add $1 to your buddy-list, too.



[url=$2/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=buddy&u=$3]Click here[/url] to add $1 to your buddy-list now.



The Board Admin

Now if you go on with the code I posted above to use the Username in the title and message, we get

Code:

$anti_autopm_bud_tit = str_replace("$1",$vbulletin->userinfo['username'],$vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit]);

$pmdm->set('title', $anti_autopm_bud_tit); 

$anti_autopm_bud_mes = str_replace("$1",$vbulletin->userinfo['username'],$vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_mes]);

$anti_autopm_bud_mes = str_replace("$2",$vbulletin->options['bburl'],$anti_autopm_bud_mes);

$anti_autopm_bud_mes = str_replace("$3",$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],$anti_autopm_bud_mes);

$pmdm->set('message', $anti_autopm_bud_mes);

I haven't tested the above thing and don't know if it works, but you may work it out yourself :) Keep on the learning.

this works great, but it sucks that it opens in a new window...

it would be better if it just opened in the same window, but good idea noneless ;)

excellent addition but i have this hack that allows members to choose wether they save a copy of their pms or not and regardless of wether they have it turned on or off it still saves the pm any chance of making it adhere to the savecopy rules ?

Replace in Original code of the plugin:

Code:

$pmdm->set_info('savecopy', 1);

with

Code:

$pmdm->set_info('savecopy', $vbulletin->userinfo['savecopy']);

This is lush, I foresee this having a boatload of installs even if not HOTM (I always type HTML when I try to type HOTM :p)

Might I suggest using {1}, {2}, ... {n}, like so:
Change phrase "anti_autopm_bud_mes" to this:

HTML Code:

Hello,



{1} has added you to his buddy-list. If you like to get friends you need to add {1} to your buddy-list, too.



[url={2}/profile.php?do=addlist&userlist=buddy&u={3}]Click here[/url] to add {1} to your buddy-list now.



The Board Admin

Change the "anti_autopm_bud_tit" to this:

Code:

{1} has just added you to his buddy list!

Change this snippet of code:

PHP Code:


		
			
$anti_autopm_bud_tit = str_replace("$1",$vbulletin->userinfo['username'],$vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit]);

$pmdm->set('title', $anti_autopm_bud_tit); 

$anti_autopm_bud_mes = str_replace("$1",$vbulletin->userinfo['username'],$vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_mes]);

$anti_autopm_bud_mes = str_replace("$2",$vbulletin->options['bburl'],$anti_autopm_bud_mes);

$anti_autopm_bud_mes = str_replace("$3",$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],$anti_autopm_bud_mes);

$pmdm->set('message', $anti_autopm_bud_mes);

to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$anti_autopm_bud_tit = construct_phrase($vbphrase['anti_autopm_bud_tit'], $vbulletin->userinfo['username']);

$anti_autopm_bud_mes = construct_phrase($vbphrase['anti_autopm_bud_mes'], $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $vbulletin->options['bburl'], $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);

$pmdm->set('title', $anti_autopm_bud_tit);

$pmdm->set('message', $anti_autopm_bud_mes);

Saves inventing a whole new construct_phrase() function ;)

Again, nice work :)

Jacobsen and Revan, both of your suggestions work, and great ideas for cutting out having to create the custom BBcode and improving the hack. Revan's idea uses slightly less code but I will experiment with the str_replace thingie (i am not that familiar with it yet).

Working on an update... thanks for the input people!

I don't think it would be intelligent to send a PM to the user that you are ignoring, right??
