Most vb emails are sent using a phrase but the info like user name and email that are used to customize it are in different variables depending on where the phrase is used, and there's something like 70 email body phrases. Also (and as usual) it's limited by available hooks. I think what I might end up doing is releasing this with the form method, then later adding instructions for a code modification in case someone wants the automatic links.




That's what I'm doing right now. I think it's almost done but I haven't tested it yet. So, probably I'll attach another version here in an hour or two.

Couldn't you add to current phrases $userinfo['email'], or in each of the cron files add your custom misc.php link? just thinking out loud brain farts usually but sometimes there's pearls!

EDIT: this is out of the cron for birthdays

PHP Code:

while ($userinfo = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($birthdays))
{
    $username = unhtmlspecialchars($userinfo['username']);
    eval(fetch_email_phrases('birthday', $userinfo['languageid']));
    vbmail($userinfo['email'], $subject, $message);
    $emails .= iif($emails, ', ');
    $emails .= $userinfo['username'];
} 


so you could even do something like

PHP Code:

 $message = $message . "<p><a href='www.mysite.com/misc.php?do=vistedurl&$userinfo['email']'>Unsubscribe</a>"
