vb.org Archive - [Release vb2.0] Receive copy of e-mail you send via the BB

Hi All,

This is a very small hack, but one that my users requested:

When you send a fellow member an e-mail via the BB mailform, you can select to also receive a copy of this e-mail to your address.

The "installation" (for lack of better word) includes inserting a small piece of code into member.php, adding a small piece of HTML into one template, and creating a simple text-only new template.

Enjoy!

Installation Instructions:

1. Open member.php. Almost completely at the end of the script, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
mail($destuserinfo[email],$subject,$sendmessage,"From: \"$bbuserinfo[username]\" <$bbuserinfo[email]>");

BELOW it add:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if ($getcopy) {

    $subject = "FW: ".$subject;

    eval("\$sendmessage = \"".gettemplate("email_copymessage",1,0)."\";");

    mail($bbuserinfo[email],$subject,$sendmessage,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");

  }

Save file and upload.

2. Edit template mailform.

Find, almost at the bottom:

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="emailmessage">

        <input type="hidden" name="userid" value="$userid">

        <input type="submit" class="bginput" name="submit" value="Send email">

        <input type="reset" class="bginput" name="reset" value="Clear Fields">

And ABOVE it add:

Code:

        <input type="checkbox" name="getcopy" value="1"> <smallfont><b>Check this box if you want to receive a copy of this message to your e-mail</b></smallfont>

        <br><br>

3. Create new template, called email_copymessage with the following content:

Quote:

This is a copy of an e-mail message you sent to $destuserinfo[username] at $bbtitle ( $bburl/index.php ):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

$message

(change the text to whatever you like really)

THAT'S IT!

The mailform will now look like this:

If you check this box, a copy of the e-mail you just sent will also be sent to you.

Cheers,

Bira
