Add-On Releases - PM notification when receiving reputation points

SK Reputation Notification v1.1.2

Updated to v1.1.2 - 2008-06-18

Notification system for reputation comments.
This modification sends a private message (PM) to the user whenever someone gives him/her a reputation comment.
User must first enable the function on the User CP => Edit Options page. It's off by default.

Created and tested on vBulletin 3.6.8
This mod uses the template hook - $template_hook[usercp_options_messaging]. Which is new since 3.6.8.
So it won't work in earlier versions without some editing on your own.

Two step installation.
Copy 1 file. Import the product.
See instructions in the attached zip file.

Version history:

• v1.1.2 - 2008-06-18
  Support for option 'Can See Who Left User Ratings'.
  - If user not allowed to see who left a reputation comment the sender of the notification PM will always be the specified user and not the actual user leaving a comment.
  - Also a different message will be used with no name included.
• v1.1.1 - 2008-04-19
  Added admin options so you can specify a specifik user as the sender of the notification PM.
• v1.1.0 - 2007-11-06
  First official release.
• v1.0.0
  First attempt. Not available.

If you left it empty then you obviously don't need to add anything.

Thanks. Found it. And fixed it!

how do I change it so that the PM comes from the admin rather than the user who left the reputation?

You need to edit the plugin "Send Reputation PM".

Find

PHP Code:

$pmdm->set( 'fromuserid', $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] );
$pmdm->set( 'fromusername', $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] ); 


Change $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] and $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] to the user id and the name of your admin account, or whatever user you want to use.

PHP Code:

$pmdm->set( 'fromuserid', 1 );
$pmdm->set( 'fromusername', 'admin' ); 


To change the name in the message
Find

PHP Code:

$pmdm->set( 'message', construct_phrase($vbphrase['sk_repnotif_pm_message'], $score, $db->escape_string(fetch_censored_text($vbulletin->GPC['reason'])), $vbulletin->userinfo['username'], $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/showthread.php?p=" . $postid ) ); 


And again change $vbulletin->userinfo['username'] to whatever name you want to use

PHP Code:

$pmdm->set( 'message', construct_phrase($vbphrase['sk_repnotif_pm_message'], $score, $db->escape_string(fetch_censored_text($vbulletin->GPC['reason'])), 'admin', $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . "/showthread.php?p=" . $postid ) );

Man! I think this hack is a wonderful hack!

Although, I would like to know if you could put this suggestion from 'JustAskJulie' into the hack itself? (so that there would be a way that we could choose who is the sender via the AdminCP?)

Also, could the sender be an non existing member?
(I ask you this because I do not know what would happen to the Admin's 'Sent Items' folder when there will be so many PMs sent... - will the box become full? Or there will be NO messages on the 'Sent Items' folder at all?)

Please do answer!

Thank you very much!



P.S. - Sorry my bad english - I'm a native portuguese speaker.

Being able to choose sender yourself is a good feature.
I will add it in a future release. No promises when I will get around and do it though.

There will be no messages in the 'Sent Items' folder, so it won't be filled.
Not sure what happens if you use a non-existens userid. I think the PM will be sent but the postbit with the senders username and avatar won't be correct.

ok, it didn't take that long.
I have uploaded a new version (1.1.1) of the modification.

Only added the requested feature.
Now you can specify a specifik user in the admincp that will be the sender of the notification PM.

GREAT! I've just created a new user (basically my Forum's 'name') and the notifications will be sent from this 'user'.

I will edit the phrasing system of your mod, so I can inform users that the PM will not accept any kind of reply! (I disabled on this 'user' the ability to receive PMs)


EXCELLENT MOD!!! :up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

Really? I haven't had any problems using it on 3.7

Are you sure that the user receiving reputation has turned on notifications? (User CP => Edit Options => Messaging & Notification )

oh woops i thought it was by default...

How can i make it default for everyone?
