Reply by email v. 0.1

It works just like FireFly described it here

Note: Your PHP must be compiled with IMAP support (read inside in the install.txt file)

This hack should be working just fine on EVERY vBulletin version.

I hope you like it
Post all your comments,bugs, improvements you would like to see.

Its not perfect yes.. i know

Notes for others trying this hack:

To allow people to hit reply on the email instead of cutting and pasting you must edit a couple of items.

First, in mailreply.php find:

list($check,$threadid)=explode("-",$letter->subject);
if ($check!="[thread") {

replace by:

list($check,$threadid)=explode("-",$letter->subject);
$check = substr($check, -7);
if ($check!="[thread") {


Next, edit your emailsubject_notify to:


Reply to post '$threadinfo[title]' [thread-$threadinfo[threadid]]







I'm working on getting the server to strip everything but the reply but its uphill, if anyone wants to help, I'd sure appreciate it......

It works, it's just not polished.....

Hopefully, we'll get some news on whether or not it will be in vB3, then I can stop this madness

Thanks!

JC

To do this:

Open \admin\functions.php

Find:

PHP Code:

  $useremails=$DB_site->query("SELECT user.*
                               FROM subscribethread,user
                               WHERE subscribethread.threadid='$threadid'
                                 AND subscribethread.userid=user.userid
                                 AND user.userid<>'$userid'
                                 AND user.lastactivity>'$lastposttime[dateline]'
"); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

  $useremails=$DB_site->query("SELECT user.*
                               FROM subscribethread,user
                               WHERE subscribethread.threadid='$threadid'
                                 AND subscribethread.userid=user.userid
                                 AND user.userid<>'$userid'");
