vB Rank Promotion Notifier 1.0.2
 

vB RPN

This is a simple little modification that will simply send a user a PM when there user rank updates, to notify them of the promotion. Not much more to say other than that really :p

Feel free to take a look at the screens for a visual idea.

Change Log

Version 1.0.2
- Ensured the PM is sent to the user whose rank changed, not the user of the session currently logged in.

Version 1.0.1
- Parsed message through WYSIWYG HTML To BBCode to ensure HTML Ranks display properly in PM.

Enjoy :)

wow sweet thanks for this ;)

great one, thanks :)

Hello mark this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_gpc() on a non-object in /web/htdocs/MYFORUM/home/includes/class_dm_user.php(1819) : eval()'d code(33) : eval()'d code on line 1

any solution, Thanks

marianoblesa - Are you using vB 3.8?

Nice!
I've been wanting something like this, will it work on 3.7? or is there a 3.7 mod of this?

thanks
-Brandon

ps.. will this work if i change a users usergroup? or is it just with rank promotion

Just rank promotion, although any change to rank (other than removal) should trigger the PM. As for vB 3.7, it should really, but only one way to find out :)

great mod and thanks bro...but i guess it won't work to my vB3.6.8 i guess... tried it already...or is there any way to make it work...:(

thanks for sharing.,anyway

;)

I'm afraid this was designed for 3.8 only, maybe it's time to upgrade? :)

:rolleyes: ohh...badluck...just i mention on that page...i might throw some cents on a stable workin mod like this...about upgrade...:erm: hmmm...still waiting for the stable vBulletin 4 Series...i know it will take time...but...

best regards and happy holidays...
:p

Just what I've been looking for. Thank you! :D

not the 3.7, sorry I realized NO.

Greetings

No problem marianoblesa :)

There was a slight typo in the XML, I've fixed this. Nothing too serious :)

Niiiiicceeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Thanks D :up:

Edit:

Getting this when a pm is sent
Not showing the images

Ah, I had not anticipated HTML in the ranks, I'll see what I can do to allow HTML in the PM :)

:up:
Thinks its the default of vb mate ?

Is this mibee ment for User Title's

User ranks are different? and I added an image to mine

Yeah, if HTML is disallowed in PM's, it won't parse, if you turn HTML on it will show correctly. Unfortunately there's no flag passed to determine if a single PM is in HTML or not, it parses the PM when being viewed.

At the moment the best idea I can think of is if HTML is disabled run the PM through the vB WYSIWYG converter to turn the HTML into the correct BBCode, but that won't do a complete job.

I'll come up with something :)

Correct it does show if HTML is turned on via admin cp

When I set to yes the pm shows perfectly

It's Strongly not recommended so I set to no.

Will wait to see if you can sort something out:up:

I've updated the product XML, simply re-import to fix the issue. Note the update will only effect new promotion PMs sent, not any previous ones :)

AWESOME,working superbly

Not sent any yet but this will be brilliant for what I have on the go,thanks D :up:

Tested it with my own username lol

No problem :)

Small problem Deceptor,

I just upgraded another users rank status

It's sending the pm to me as I put my userID in this section

"Congratulations Owen!(that is not me LOL)
Your activity on our forums has earned you a rank promotion, your ranks are now blah blah blah"

Did you by any chance edit Owens data? If so then the system will send you the PM as you are the user for that session.

yes manually in admincp,as sometimes does/might happen

I'm with you mate,so this won't be a problem when its done via vb doing cron job or whatever then?

Try this to resolve the issue, I really should've done this instead of fetching the session username. Edit the plugin 'vB RPN: Send Rank Notification', find:
Replace with:
Save the plugin, manually edit Owen again and see if Owen gets the PM rather than you :)

Sweet mate, perfect,the intended user got it.

Top work :up:

Thanks for verifying that :) I've updated the package.

I have a issue with the Imagelink.

It´s admincp/images/bla.jpg
instead of images/bla.jpg

Maybe another hack destroy this Image ?
You need a List ?

Btw. Images are right viewed in Rankoptions.

thanks,
chris

Before I install is there any way to make this only send a PM when the members usergroup updates. The rank updating pm really is not something I could use. But I do have some usergroups setup for various parts of my forum to view & sending a PM would be really great once they are allowed into that usergroup.

Great idea for a hack but I'm running into a few problems...

-When inserting {rank} into the pm body it's calling for the image out of my admincp folder which isn't even close to where they are located? Thus the image is broken.

-After manually bumping the post and rep count of a member and running the promotion cron it notified the user with the PM but when I did it again for the same user it wouldn't notify them?

Thx for the help.

*installed*

Im getting the same issue.

Will this work if someone pays to upgrade via paid subscriptions

well i get same issue, solve it by "REMOVEING" the {rank} in the phrase
for the pm notification body text.

tadaa no link to admincp

But then you get no image.....

Can we have a fix for this ?

I installed this.

Afterwards, when users buy a subscription, the subscription is not added to their account and they don't get any of the privileges they just bought.

When I try to add it manually, I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function clean_gpc() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/forum/includes/class_dm_user.php(1826) : eval()'d code(32) : eval()'d code on line 54

I would imagine this means that the mod sends the PM, but somehow prevents the promotion from actually taking place. Thus, they get a PM that says they've been promoted, but their rank/user class remain the same as before.

Thanks , It should be included in forum from the start.

Hi,

Im so glad you decided to create this mod! Would you consider having it so a pop up shows on the members screen when they have been promoted at all?

My members aren't getting notifications anymore... :(
