Forward a post to another member, via PM!
2.2.x | by Velocd

This hack, as well all my other vB2 hacks, I no longer provide support for (being I run vB3 and it's too much hassel to debug vB2). When vB3 Release Candidate comes out, by request I might convert some of my hacks.

Template edits: 1 (postbit)
New templates: 3 (forwardpost, priv_forwardpost, redirect_postforward)
New files: 2 (forwardpost.php, forwardpost.gif)

What is it?
Well, it's been since summer when I released a hack, and today I decided it was long enough.

This hack will allow you to quickly forward a post within a thread to another member via PM, by just filling in some quick fields (such as the username, and PM subject).

I've been wanting to do this hack for some time, as I'm such a lazy person when it comes to using PM to notify members of certain posts. This hack helps a bunch, believe me

Screenshots? Demo?
No demo, but you can find a screenshots in the next post.

Instructions?
See install.txt, inside the zip.

If you use this hack, please remember to click install!

Suggestions and comments are always welcomed.

I have one suggestion myself, for vBulletin.org to install this hack!
Or even a variation of it

It should work on all versions of 2.2.x

Anyway we can flex this in such a way, that when I click on user's PM in a post, the post url will be quoted in the PM?

I know I am being a little picky but worth asking since I've been looking for that forever.

Great stuff nevertheless.

Velocd!
Nice to see you active again and great work done here!
I like the idea and I am thinking, is it possible for a follow up version (or some addon) to let the admin (through acp) set to allow forward to everybody, or only to buddy's? And when it is set to only buddy's, maybe make a drop down list of the buddylist to avoid typo's, etc. Would be great! I understand though, if you don't want to expand it like that

Just thinking outloud here!

Hi, great hack. I'm just wondering if I did something wrong, or is this normal? When I tested it, it didn't come back as a clickable link...

Make sure your "priv_forwardpost" template contains :

Code:

This user would like you to check out the following post:
$bburl/showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$postid#post$postid

If it does, make sure your vBulletin Options have your Board Url as "http://" on the front...

Sure, it sounds possible.

I'll see what I can do about an updated version maybe in the next few days.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
