Hiyas,

I dont like static email notifications and fancy coloring them up a bit. So this hack is one way to do it. (If I can spare time, more is likely to follow) ;)

This hack simply sends a small portion of user's reply to thread subscribers in their notification mail. It's also possible to send the whole reply, but I dont suggest this, because if they read it all, they wont visit the original thread. But just giving a hint and sending a few lines can be provoking to get them to your board ASAP.

It's an easy to install hack and you can easily customize it by choosing how many characters of the reply will be sent to the members.

I use this hack in V.2.2.2 and havent noticed any problems. Please report bugs in this thread..

Enjoy! \\=^))

Regards,
Logician

Nice hack thanks, I'll try it. Does it strip vB code? If not, can you please add that feature.

Thanks

Striping the VB code feature is not very easy to add. ;) I am adding other hacks to my board at the moment (and sharing them here) and if can find time for your request, I'll let you know.. :cool:

Logician,

Great hack! Very helpful to keep the users visiting the forums.

A question though: one of my mods is restricted to surf the web at his work, but is able to receive e-mail.

I want to enable full message posting for him, but limited to 50 chars for all other visitors.
I've tried the following code in newreply.php, but to no avail:

Code:

    if ($visible) {

                if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==xxx) {

                // LOGICIAN SEND PART OF USER REPLY WITH EMAIL NOTIFICATION HACK

                $logic_mes_sum= $message;

                } else {

                $logic_mes_sum= substr($message, 0, 50)."... ";

                }

                // LOGICIAN SEND PART OF USER REPLY WITH EMAIL NOTIFICATION HACK

                  sendnotification ($threadinfo['threadid'], $bbuserinfo['userid'], 0);

                    }

How can I enable full extracts for this specific user, but limited extracts for all others?

What you did it is uncorrect. (Revert your modification to original)You have to edit admin/functions:

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$touser['username']=unhtmlspecialchars($touser['username']);

After that replace the part:

PHP Code:


		
			
 eval("\$emailmsg = \"".gettemplate("email_notify",1,0)."\";");

    eval("\$emailsubject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_notify",1,0)."\";");



    mail($touser[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

As:

PHP Code:


		
			


if ($touser['userid']==X){

eval("\$emailmsg = \"".gettemplate("email_notify_special",1,0)."\";");

    eval("\$emailsubject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_notify",1,0)."\";");



    mail($touser[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");



}

else

{

eval("\$emailmsg = \"".gettemplate("email_notify",1,0)."\";");

    eval("\$emailsubject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_notify",1,0)."\";");



    mail($touser[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

}

(Replace X with userid of your special user.)

Now add a new template named email_notify_special, the content is same with email_notify template, just one modification:
Replace $logic_mes_sum as $message in the new template.

I didnt test this but it should work..

Enjoy.. :)

djr	07-06-2002 10:16 PM

Logician,

Thank you, that worked flawlessly! :cool:

I had ofcourse reverted all my changes to your hack, because it gave me some errors. With this update the whole contents of the reply is sent by e-mail (tested on myself).

Again, great hack and great update! Thank you for quick reponse.

Great hack, Logician. Thanks!

Our new group comes from another that's been around for years where some of us read online, but many subscribe to what's posted by way of a mailing list.

This will make a lot of people very happy.

Hai there,

I want to use your hack but I need it for this:
My sub-forum is called UPDATES so whenever I make a new thread (and a new posting is made automatically of course) I want to have the message contents in my e-mailmoderator template. Your hack does not work all the way because in creating the thread it does not see the message contents. It works but only when you add a second posting in that thread.

Can you help me?

Installed it on 2.3.0 - waiting for first email reply to check its working. ;)

However, install instructions were straightforward enough and there were no code differences to be concerned with.

03-19-2003 07:28 AM

Sinan, did you ever find the time to come up with the code to strip out vbcode in the message? vb 3.0 has that feature and it would be good to have it for those of us who aren't going to upgrade right away. ;)

The hack does not touch anything related to the subject of the mail, so this can't be. :) Besides the emails (and its subject) sent are default vb notification mails, the hack does not change this behaviour either. It just adds some text inside mail, that's it.

I'd say uninstall it, make sure your default vb notifications has subjects, then reapply (carefully!) ;)

Ps. You look "unlicensed" here, please check your email address you use here in vbulletin.com and make sure it is authorized in members section of vbulletin.com. Thanks..

Logician, you could try something like this:

Code:

$string = preg_replace( '~<[^\]]*>~' , '' , $string );

$string = str_replace( '"' , '' , $string );

That should take care of all your BB Code...
Let me know what you think. :)

I did not test it... but if my logic is good, that code will remove all bbcode from the content.
Basically removes everything in between [ brackets.
You can start working from there... to adjust it onto your hack.

Example, the code:
$string = preg_replace( '~<[^\]]*>~' , '' , $string );

can be also written as:
$string = preg_replace( '~[high]\[[/high][^\]]*[high]\][/high]~' , '' , $string );

and on and on...

This is very strange, not probably related to this HACK, but I can't get it installed because of it. First off, I only have 3 hacks installed on my site, and non that have anything to do with notifications.

I am losing the Subject in the email when I install this hack. I agree that it makes no sense for this to happen, because we don't touch that code, and the templates are separate. What I've narrowed it down to, is the email_notify template. If I change that template from the default, it loses the subject. I tried totally removing the hack, and just changing the email_notify template to add some text, and the subject was gone. I reverted to original, and it came back. This makes no sense. Anyone else run into this. I'm on 2.3.0

Is there a way or a hack to do this for PM's so the PM will be sent with the email alert?

Hi,

I moved my forum to a new server but suddenly i have a strange but annoying problem. Whenver someone subscribes to thread, the e-mail he gets sent looks terrible because it lacks linebreaks, i double checked if this hack isn't properly installed, but that's not the case. Anyone have a clue what could be the problem?

Btw all e-mails sent out misses linebreaks (br's) very weird.

That's the weird thing, all e-mails that are send out Logician, do you have an idea what could be the cause of that?

Shall I e-mail you the admin/functions.php if you want to take a look at it?

Here's an example how a notify e-mail looks like in my mailbox:

If all emails are like this, how can this be related to this hack? ^^ Have you checked email templates and confirmed that they are good in terms of line breaks?

Aaron1

03-24-2004 05:59 PM

I even triple checked my templates Logician, could it be something server side?
All templates seem to be stored without linebreaks automatically somehow.

I'm using the hack both in linux and windows servers just fine.
