Hi all

As a continuation for the success of the 1st version, I released this new version, considering all your ideas and suggestions..

Functionality
Use this mod to add an AUTOREPLY for threads added to your forums.

What's new in v2.0
1- An option to Auto Reply just for non-replied threads after a certain delay of time.
2- An option to add more than Member ID to post the autoreply RANDOMLY.
3- An option to add more then Guest Username to post the autoreply RANDOMLY.
4- An option to add more than one message for the autoreply.
5- An option to just include Forum IDs where you want the autoreply system to be active.
6- Including the replying member's signature in his post.
7- Optimizing 1 mysql query for better performance.


What was in the previous version
1- Set which member's id will add the Auto Reply.
2- Set the guest's username, If you want the reply to appear as been added from a guest. (for ex. to use as an ad bot)
3- Set the Auto Reply delay, or set it to 0 to add immediately.
4- Edit the Auto Reply text as you wich.
5- Exclude some forums from Auto Reply, as suggestions and administrators forums.
6- Exclude some members from Auto Reply for their threads.
7- Add "{username}" into Auto Reply text, to be translated into the thread sender's username.
8- Turn the Auto Reply on and off from the mod properties.

Please remove your DB name and IP address. You are facing a serious security risk by doing otherwise.

hello, this mod worked great for awhile, all of a sudden a person will reply in another thread, in a totally different forum and it will show up in the auto reply thread, which i was using only in one forum

it is also auto reply sometimes 1 time, sometimes 2 times, sometimes 3 times

any suggestions

coderphp has not been online in over 6 weeks, but hope springs eternal...

SUGGESTION:
1 - Excluded Members is a nice idea, but it would be more useful if it was Excluded UserGroups. I don't want Admins, Super Mods, and Mods auto-replied. If I exclude these user goups, I'm done. If I can only exclude by individual member ID, I have to revise this list everytime the membership of these groups change. Double work.

ERRORS?
1 - Installed, but the first auto-reply went off at 300 seconds (5 mins), even though I had set it to 7200 (2 hours). Is there a max value for this parameter?

2 - If (a) two threads are created just a few seconds apart (less than the flood check setting) and (b) both are being auto-replied, this hack seriously breaks the display of the forum in question. It appears that the auto-response tries to execute on the second thread before the flood-check limit has passed. I'm also guessing the auto-reply event trigger is the display of the forum specified in this hack's admin settings and that is why there is an error in the display of the forum page. I assume this situation could be avoided by increasing the Auto Reply Delay by the flood check amount for each reply that is to be made within the current flood check limit. If "time since last response" > "flood check", then "Auto Reply Delay" = "Auto Reply Delay"; else "Auto Reply Delay" = "Auto Reply Delay" + "flood check" (or something like that).

INSTRUCTIONS:
Part of the explanation for "Auto Reply Sender's IDs" reads:

Caution: to avoid flood errors, these members must be at least Moderators in the posting forum, Or you must set Auto Reply delay to a value less than the flood time check .

I think it should read:

Caution: to completely avoid "flood" errors, these members must be at least Moderators in the posting forum. Otherwise you must set Auto Reply delay to a value greater than the flood time check.

QUESTION:
What happens to auto-replies when new admin settings for this mod are saved? Does this hack apply to new threads only at that point? Or do the old setting apply to old threads and new settings apply to new threads? Or do the new settings apply to all threads? Or do the new settings apply to only those threads created after the installation of the hack?
