Shishir - Visitor Message Email Notification
 

Information:
This modification is actually based on several requests I saw here and especially after this one. I mean, how can I neglect a request with "If someone makes one, I'd be willing to contribute." :D

What it does is simple. When someone makes a visitor message in Profile it will notify the user via email that a new message has been posted. If the message is a new message then the email will contain the message as well. If it is an ajax message then only a simple email with notification will be made.

Feature:
> Sends an Email Notification to the user when a visitor message is posted.

Install instruction:
==> Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
==> Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > User Profile: Visitor Messaging Options and Select to your preference.

Current Version:
1.0.0

Hi there!

Thanks for this - it will be very helpful I am sure.

I am just thinking [a bit!] now that it would be interesting to have a central place for all email notifications for users..

[notify when someone posted a comment on your picture.. or visitor message.. or email.. anything].

I know right now some of those are in several places..

Good mod! Thanks - I'll install it shortly.

Cheers,
aproape

Nice idea , thanks

Not a bad Idea, but I guess not many are left though. And in Original vB file, I see this line So I guess they will make it a Default option sooner. So we just wait for them to make the next update and see what is missing. For the moment, lets use this one. :D

Shishir

I have been waiting for this for such a long time. Finally there is an add-on. Thank you! Nonetheless this and other notifications should be default vbulletin features.

omg thank you.

REQ: Can I go out on a limb and ask if this can be done for PROFILE ALBUM comments as well (or ANY notification... like a PM would do as well)?

I'd be like your eternal gratitude.

thanks for the add-on in any case! :D

Sorry, I do not actually use the Album feature too much. Hence I could not find the Profile Album Comment. :| Can you please show me a Link of such. If the link is private, you Can PM me as well. I think I'll be able to do that as well, but I need to know where it is in the first place. :p

Shishir

sure!

demo: hot chick Album pic of Lee Hyori with comments :)

challu mama.. dload deinai, magar installed e ghai maira gelam, (may re bap, deshi boilla kotha... khekz). pore aitesi.

Thanks for the release. :)

Thanks mama, tomago laigai to sob kora. Tomar kisu lagle awaz dio. :)

Shishir

Email notify for Picture comments would be great too! Thanks for this release!

Thanks for creating this mod, it's just what I've been looking for. See this thread:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275826

Been wanting this for a long time too. Is there any way we can change the message in the email and is it possible to include a hyperlink in the email back to their profile?

It's all about getting members to return!

Cheers. :)

yes it would be good to place a link in the email to the user's profile.

Can someone please post the code on how to do this.

How can you change/edit the messages going out?

None of them are phrased.

Yap, I thought it was not that necesary to be editable. It's just a notification, right? :D Anyway, will update to make that editable.

Hmm, so popular demand is Edit the Message. Right then, I am on it now. Will update as soon as I am done. ;)

What variable is used to link to users' profiles?

Can't get you buddy. I have not used any variable to link to profile so far. :| It just sends a plain mail to user.

Shishir

I know that, which is why I'm asking :)

I was thinking if I knew the variable then I could probably add the variable to the xml file.

Would it be possible to make this a user's choice? That a user can decide for him/herself in the UserCP whether or not they want this option?

I don't want to force e-mails on people, especially those who get a lot of visitor messages :P

Thanks :)

Good idea.

I agree, it would be good to give user's that option to decide.

Agreed! Please add this as an option.

I installed this, set my options but no emails are being sent out. Im on vb3.7.3 Any idea why emails arent being sent?

This would be a GREAT asset to have. Being able to click a link in the email to go right to the post in the profile!

Regardless,

Installed and Nominated

Thanks!

TriMe

I'd love that upgrade as well! :)



I'd like to see this as well! :)

Oh yea I want to know this as well please. We also need to find a way to add a link back to the profile page as well.

Any updates to this great mod coming soon?

I'm excited for one as well!!

I have a corrected version I am looking over that fixes more English mistakes. I plan to send this file to the developer who I am sure will make it available here.

I just could not believe it was not an option in the base product. Thanks for this modification!

I wish it could also notify when comments were posted on albums. If it's not too much to add.

That would be a Great help as I am short of time these days. Hope to have some free time to make some updates. Ahh, I wish.

Anyway, looking forward to any help available.
Shishir

I've installed this.

When I went to checkout the options for it, it has an email address field in there. Why do I need to put an email address in the admin cp? Does this hack email any member that receives a message or only me?

Thanks

Reg

You have never received an email, have you? ;) Every email needs two adresses, one for the person who receives it and one as sender address.

I don' t think that it is needed, because you already have it set in the general vbulletin options, but some people might want to set a different email address for the pm notification.

I need this emails sent in relation to the user language interface. How we can make it translated?

Is this mod vb3.8 compatible?

Ah, I almost forgot about My Mods. :D Let me test it on my testvb. Will Update as I can Confirm.

Shishir

Edit: Installed on testvb, looks to be working on 3.8. Since there is not much demand, not releasing a 3.8 version, but this will work, I hope.

Great one - installed :up:

I would absolutely LOVE this mod if it came with the right options. I mean, you need to have the ability for the member to 'opt out' of receiving these. Plus, you'd definitely want a way to customize the message going out as well, I would think.

Any other modification out there that does these things?

I totally agree, I think i will post a request in the paid/non-paid request areas.
