Notify user about his moved thread

++ fully translatable, no file edits, no new queries, no template edits, no problems ++

Hello!

Here's another one I made for my community which I want to share with you.

We have to deal with many users who don't have experience with vBulletin or bulletin boards in general so they often get confused when we move a thread to a better location.

This plugin notifies the user with a PM when we moved one of his threads. This plugin is rather simple but can be extended with ease. However, I won't do it because I don't need it

Known limitations:
This one doesn't affect the inline moderation. I couldn't find a hook for it so I decided to leave that to an expert


Installation:
Just upload the product-file. It will install the plugin and the 2 new phrases for you.
Now you have to edit the freshly installed plugin. It's called Plugin - Notify user about thread move.

Edit those two lines according to your information.

PHP Code:

$pmdm->set('fromuserid', X); // replace X with your USERID
$pmdm->set('fromusername', 'Y'); // replace Y with your USERNAME 


Both information must be correct, they tell the user who sent this PM.

In my case, I would have to use:

PHP Code:

$pmdm->set('fromuserid', 1); // 1 is my ID
$pmdm->set('fromusername', 'MrNase'); // MrNase is my nickname 


which sends a message from the user 'MrNase' whose ID is '2'

Save the plugin and you are done


Have fun with it and feel free to release additions to this product!


Please click install or you'll get the flu!!!

I will confirm in a few hours -- downloaded to zip-disk at work. I based my judgement on the screenshots between the 2 mods. I didn't see the other mod -- but I like this one a lot. I will be happy to confirm or cry for you :>

The other one is better IMHO, the PM u receive shows you with links the destination forum and the thread moved.

BTW, does this hack check if the user has access to the "moved to" forum? I mean, if you move it to Staff Forums, the user doesnt have access, but still receives de PM? In the other hack, it was planned not to do so in a future update.

cheers

As this one only shows the title of the forum the thread was moved to I don't see a reason to include the permission thing

When a thread was moved to a hidden forum the user HAS to be notified otherwise he'll be wondering where his thread has gone

Hi

If users PM closed or full,any problem for that reason ?

Thanks

I was unable to successfully verify this mod.

I installed the product, I used my test account, moved his post, and he received no notification.

thank you clicking install

I like the idea. The only detail thats missing is specifying what thread was moved.


I mentioned it at vBulletin Webmaster however.

[Keyser S?ze]

im not complaining here, but 1 hack that does "move/close" notify, would be very nice

why have multiple for something so similar?

[joeychgo]

this should give you the choice of email to send......

a. We moved to more appropriate forum
b. We removed your thread because it wasnt appropriate for our forum. Please refer to the forum rules.

I think it should also list the thread title so the user knows what thread we're talking about
