Email Integration (New threads/replies by email)
Developer Last Online: Dec 2011
This mod is based off of the Mail Reply modification by Colin F to which I have obtained permission to rewrite and release. This modification allows you to mimic email lists such as yahoo groups through your forums! After installing this modification you will have new settings in your forum manager where for each forum you can enable this modification and setup a separate email address to use for each forum that you have this enabled for. Just like how there is a separate email address for each yahoo group. After doing so, members can subscribe to each forum that this mod is enabled for to receive notifications for new threads and replies. Any posts in that forum, will be sent to them via email. (Example email attached below). The users can then reply to that email (which will then be processed and posted to the forums through the cron job that runs every 10 minutes), or they can send a new email to the email address and a brand new thread will be created! Essentially mimicing an email list! Suddenly those users that hate forums, can still be dragged into the conversations and help keep the forum's activity level up! BUGS! These are the known bugs to date:
These are the items that are not currently supported:
(See the file in the zip for a complete history!)
Huge thanks also goes to the many individuals that have helped test various incarnations of this mod. MAD PROPS TO: cgmckeever for a great quoting regex for the old format, and all the mods at www.4winmobile.com for helping test version 2.4 prior to release!! You guys rock! Please feel free to donate to my continued work on this modification!! It let's me spend more time on it! Make a Donation! Version 2.6 will work with both 3.6.8 and 3.7! The #.X versions are the solid tested versions. The #.X.X versions are the beta versions. New features and bug fixes will be worked in there and then when I have a solid version it'll be released as the next #.X Thank you!! ~ Cyricx Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

On line 130 of the emailintegration.php find:
Code:
$title = htmlspecialchars_decode($title); Code:
// $title = htmlspecialchars_decode($title); without the decode a title with & will come up as amp;& Can you confirm if you are running php 4.x? Be back in 5 hours!!! Please test it and let me know what you find!! I'll be working furiously smashing squashing and demolishing any issues!! |

Hi Cyricx,
I'm receiving Email notifictions from the forum that I've enabled this in but every time I reply to one I get the following message: Code:
Dear Unregistered User, We're sorry, but for the reason stated below we could not process your e-mailed reply. The error that occurred was: Message too short: your message does not have the required minimum amount of characters. Sorry, Web Team Curiouser and curiouser Regards, Renada |

Also, can you try and change the mail settings to Pop3? That might clear up that IMAP error. (I'm in NO way affiliated with the coder, however he's spent a lot of time working out some bugs on my forum, and I'd like to help him while he's offline) |

Hi Cyricx,
firstly congrats on releasing this great mod! Some problems I'm having is everytime I run the cron job I get this error Code:
Email Integration
Warning: imap_open(): Couldn't open stream {203.17.68.100:110/pop3/notls}INBOX in \includes\cron\emailintegration.php on line 70
Warning: imap_headers(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in \includes\cron\emailintegration.php on line 73
Warning: imap_close(): supplied argument is not a valid imap resource in \includes\cron\emailintegration.php on line 799
Done
Also I noticed "quick reply" will throw an error when this product is enabled, but if I refresh the page the post is displayed. I would give you the error it throws but it just says there was a problem with no other information. thanks again |

Thanks for trying to help. I don't use anything Microsoft for Email - I use a programme called Pocomail and it is sending mail from the address that is in my profile. I also changed to Pop3 mail and still get the same error when running the cron job. Any other idea? Regards, Renada |

Try sending from the web-based email. (I take it Pocomail is a form of email program like Outlook or Thunderbird). The mod might not be able to 'read' pocomail's email format correctly.
Does your server have IMAP available? I set mine on pop3 and it worked, however I do know my host has IMAP turned on, as I can setup an IMAP email account and connect through my Outlook. |
