Quote Notification

Quote Notification

Note: This hack does not work in vBulletin 3.6. If someone would like to port it, that's fine with me, but I don't feel like updating this particular hack.

Description: This plugin will add a "Quote Notification" option for users to select. If selected, they will receive a notification by PM whenever someone quotes them in a post.

Installation:

• Import the product XML file
• Go to your User CP > Edit Options and select "Quote Notification" if you like
• If you want to change the content of the PM that gets sent, the phrases are quotenotify_subject and quotenotify_message
• The email notification has a separate phrase, quotenotify_emailmessage
• If you want to change the Profile Field options, find the "Quote Notification" field in your User Profile Field Manager in the ACP.
• If you want to set a default user for the notification PMs to be sent through, go to ACP > vBulletin Options > Message Posting and Editing Options > Quote Notification Sender; set it to 0 for the sender to be whoever did the quoting

Warning: DO NOT change the title of the Profile Field from "Quote Notification", or the values from "Private Message", "Email", and "No" or this hack will not work.

Contains:

• 1 Plugin
• 1 Profile Field
• 2 Phrases

This hack is somewhat similar to Who quoted me?, but still considerably different, and if your forum is concerned about quotes then both could probably go rather nicely together.

Thanks for the addition! I actually prefer it the other way, but I'm sure this will be useful for others!
