Auto PM to Thread Starter on Moderation

What does this Hack do?
When a thread is Opened/Closed, Stuck/Unstuck, Moved, Split, Merged, or a Post is deleted, a PM will be automatically sent to the Poster to inform them of this.

If you don't want to have a PM sent for a specific action, just don't add the code for that bit.

As requested here

Don't forget to click Install. :)

Update: PM now includes the name of the Moderator who actioned the changes.

22 December 2004 - Bugfix - missing variables. Thanks to Bison.

14 April 2005 - Fixed missing $action for Deleted threads.

Nice, I have some custom code that auto PM's the author when a thread has been moved that also says where it has been moved to, and who moved it.. I'll probably integrate some of these options in to it.

*tips cap*

No worries, I saw you request it and am glad I was able to help.

I think it is possible to do what you are asking, and it shouldn't be too hard, but it's not something I will be able to look at for at least a couple of days.

At the moment, it's very rough, and quite limited. Eg: It only sends the PM to the thread starter. In the case of a thread being Split, the thread starter may not be the person whose posts have been split off..but they are the one who gets the message.

I would like to have a switch/checkbox to tick if you don't want to send the auto-PM, among other things. I'll add your request to the wishlist.

Hey ... great hack (in theory .. lol .. as I haven't installed it yet) ... anyhow what would make it really great, is if you had a checklist of all the people who posted in that thread, and had the option of sending to those you checked. You could also add a [check all / uncheck all] box, as well as be sure there are no duplicate names. :)

Just a couple of ideas to make a good hack even better !!! :)

Iam really don't know if word (( Thanks alot )) is enough to you because what did you do ??

I was waiting this hack creating since vB3.0.0 Beta 1 !! because I really need it too much ...

OmaniMan

09-18-2004 08:22 PM

Dear ...

I forgot to ask you :
Can you add more feature to this hack for example :
as same time a poster get PM because of his thread or post ... need to send auto email to poster to remind him by Email ??

Thanks ... :cool:

hi there,

I don't know if somebody said this or not :)

for me, I am using 'User Notes' to tell the user that something has been done against his thread/post... since many users are disabling their PM.

so, It's would be great if it can be shifted to add a 'User Note' to the user notes... where you can assign moderators to see those notes also and track the history of the user. :)

anybody agree?!!

thanx

In the instructions it states

Add $modby to your PM text in the Admin CP options.

Where exactly does $modby go?

Sensational idea for a hack, but i am getting the following DB error when i try and moderate a thread:

Code:

Invalid SQL: 

                             SELECT postid, post.title, pagetext, post.threadid, thread.title AS threadtitle

                                 FROM post AS post

                                 INNER JOIN thread AS thread USING(threadid)

                                 WHERE postid = 

                         

 mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 4

 

 mysql error number: 1064

Any assistance would be most appreciated.

@Tundrasoul: In the part in the AdminCP where you define what the message will be - it's in the User Posting part from memory.

@omaniman: Another good idea, but again, something I couldn't work out how to do.

@futureye: if you are using vBs built in SQL thingame, one command at a time. If you are using phpmyadmin you can copy and paste the entire queries and run them at once.

@theArchitect: I don't know why you are getting that error, it looks like it's not getting the postid for some reason.

@Ageel: I agree, but I couldn't work out how to do that easily. If someone wants to write the code for that I can add it to the first post and credit them. :)

Thanks for the fix Kall, but there's still another problem ... if you "soft delete" a thread or post, and restore the same thread or post later later, no notification is sent when the thread was retored. Also, the delet fix didn't work. The $action variable is not storing values.

Delphiprogrammi

i can't get this to work pm's on my testaccount are on i did the database querys you instructions tell us todo then i edit postings.php i upload the modified file (overwriting the existing one) then i close a thread and login with the test account but no pm ??????

PHP Code:


		
			
$_REQUEST['forceredirect'] = 1;

    $url = "showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadid";

    eval(print_standard_redirect('redirect_openclose'));

above that code i add code like your instructions tells us ... but nope :devious:

Hello,
I have found one problem in your script. When deleting one of any posts in the topic then confirmation message has been sending not to the author of the post but to the author of the topic. Could you please fix it?

Does anyone know how to do undo the database? I'm gettin' a error when I try to moderate threads and posts.

I want to do delete the SQL queries I ran, what queries do I've to type in to delete?

theArchitect

01-06-2005 11:14 PM

I am having a slight problem with this hack.

I didn't used it under 3.0.3 but have decided to under 3.0.4. However, I have noticed that whenever a thread is modified so too are the users settings for PM notification. The option is turned to on, and the user then needs to go into their user CP and turn them off again. It will then stay off for normal PMs but once another notification PM is sent about moderation the option is affected again.

Is this normal for the hack? If so is there a way to change his as it could become annoying.

Delphiprogrammi

01-11-2005 05:42 AM

now it works fine however one more small issue here it look like the $url variable isn't processed it just turns up as "located at URL $url" in the notification pm look at the attached image and you'll see what i mean

theArchitect,

look at this line of php code

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET pmtotal=pmtotal+1, pmunread=pmunread+1, pmpopup=2 WHERE userid=$threadinfo[postuserid]");

that might help you

that might help you

So if I remove pmpopup=2 WHERE userid=$threadinfo[postuserid] then it should stop the popup from reactivating? Or do I change the pmpopup number?

Delphiprogrammi

01-11-2005 09:13 PM

i'm not sure but most of us have a testsite with a vbulletin installation (remember you have to call it 'testvb') and there you could test that i think the number controls wheter members want a notification about new pm's in a popup or not just an idea i have the author of this hack can help you better however

Anyone figured it out?

The queries are:

Dude, I am tired. I just installed this Hack/Mod and the $action varible isn't being printed. No intent to be rude, or anything negative like that but it would be really nice if you fixed it. Thanks! :)

Meanwhile I am going to look into myself and probably will end up using generic message until you come back, but you are coming back... right?

OK, EDIT BIGTIME:
If you are having a problem like me where your $action varible isn't defined for some of the moderation tasks then listen up. After looking around and comparing blocks of code I deducted that the $action varible was straight up forgetten about in some of the If cases, so I added:

PHP Code:


		
			
$action = "Deleted";

at line 380 of postings.php and now it is defined in the PMs. Using this pattern you should be able to fix all other PM variable issues.

See what I am saying?

hi people,

i made a small modification to this hack basicly it hyperlinks the url where a thread is located rater then just plain text where a user can't click on in the code of this hack a variable $newurl is used (except in delete thread &post) modify this variable like this

PHP Code:


		
			
$newurl="[URL=$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$threadid]newurl[/URL]";

note
$threadid is not always the same look in the instruction from this hack ....

you cannot link to a deleted thread / post that's pretty normal i guess since the deleted post is "deleted" i think vb temporarly stores deleted post/threads in another db table (for the restore option) but you will not get a hyperlinked $newurl with deleting posts / threads cause deletion is done when the board owner does not want the post/thread on his / her board
