New Feature: If you turn PM notification email to ON, you get new PMs emailed to you!
 

Try it.

Switch "Send you an email when you receive a Private Message?" to YES.

Each time you get a new PM, you will get the contents of the whole PM emailed to you. Click on the link in the PM to go directly to the PM and make a Quick Reply.

Convenient... :)

Convienient indeed, nice addition Erwin. :)

Has anybody released this? If not I'll write it.

What's to write? You just put $message in the emailsubject_pmreceived template. ;)

Amy

I thought it wasn't in there already :)

LOL! Amy is right, it's just a template mod. :)

Makes me wonder then why vB would go through the trouble of getting the contents of the message when it never is even displayed...

BTW you might want to strip vB code from the messages, it's somewhat awkward to read. :)

How would you do this?

would be good if you could make it replace it with html instead :)

hmm, you have to bbcodeparse it then before sending the mail ;)

i don't use e-mail for pm at all *gg*
but nice edit Erwin.

Done - stripped bbcode, and converted to a HTML email.

So you get the whole PM message as it would look like in your PM inbox on vB.org, without the colors and frills.

Oooh, now I gotta try it. :)

Will someone be releasing this as a hack, by chance?

As Amy says it's apparently just a template mod.

But what about stripping the vbcode?

I posted a fix for this in the hack thread...

The vBcode is converted into HTML, and sent to you.

What fix?

I'm not really stripping vBcode, just converting it into HTML and then sending it.

And this is no longer just a template mod, it's a hack, just 2 extra lines in private.php.

Do we still have the text option or will it only ne html now? It really doesn't matter to me but there are some who will want text over html.

I'm not making any changes to the database until vB3 gets here, so there is no option - if the email does not support HTML, the member can still click on the link to go directly to the actual PM.

Nice addition guys, thanks! :bunny:

sounds good. can someone please pm me so i can see how it looks? thanks :)

Nice addition erwin, good job!

@ Erwin, can you release this hack please?

Thanks in advance
Kars

Cool this is exactly what i am looking for thanks.

Is there going to be a full hack released for this?

Any plans on the full hack being released?

At the moment, it's not a hack. :) It's just a template mod.

Just add $message into your email_pmreceived template.

Linking directly to the PM is a hack that has been released here already.

Whats this? Can you release this? Thats what I was referring to...

The HTML version? If you really want it, I will find time to release it. :)

Smoothie, if you really want html for pms, Logician made a hack a while back that allows the user to pick whether he wants text of html pms in his modify options.

Erwin and Boofo,

thanks, I just used part of this hack, and the one with the links for the pm in the email.

Might want to add an option in the user CP such that if you receive fulltext PMs via e-mail that they should be marked read by default :)

good iidea.

How would you do that? Sounds like a good idea.

Good idea filburt1. When I have time I would do it here.

Would you post it here when you do it?

I think I may have done this... can someone PM me so that I can check...

I'm getting a db error when I try to pm you.

Mmm... code removed... the dateline is interfering with the PM popup global.php code... need to tweak this...

It's a standard PHP function, too (http://www.php.net/mysql_insert_id).
