Email Integration (New threads/replies by email)
Developer Last Online: Dec 2011
This mod is based off of the Mail Reply modification by Colin F to which I have obtained permission to rewrite and release. This modification allows you to mimic email lists such as yahoo groups through your forums! After installing this modification you will have new settings in your forum manager where for each forum you can enable this modification and setup a separate email address to use for each forum that you have this enabled for. Just like how there is a separate email address for each yahoo group. After doing so, members can subscribe to each forum that this mod is enabled for to receive notifications for new threads and replies. Any posts in that forum, will be sent to them via email. (Example email attached below). The users can then reply to that email (which will then be processed and posted to the forums through the cron job that runs every 10 minutes), or they can send a new email to the email address and a brand new thread will be created! Essentially mimicing an email list! Suddenly those users that hate forums, can still be dragged into the conversations and help keep the forum's activity level up! BUGS! These are the known bugs to date:
These are the items that are not currently supported:
(See the file in the zip for a complete history!)
Huge thanks also goes to the many individuals that have helped test various incarnations of this mod. MAD PROPS TO: cgmckeever for a great quoting regex for the old format, and all the mods at www.4winmobile.com for helping test version 2.4 prior to release!! You guys rock! Please feel free to donate to my continued work on this modification!! It let's me spend more time on it! Make a Donation! Version 2.6 will work with both 3.6.8 and 3.7! The #.X versions are the solid tested versions. The #.X.X versions are the beta versions. New features and bug fixes will be worked in there and then when I have a solid version it'll be released as the next #.X Thank you!! ~ Cyricx Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

Hi Bob-
Sorry for the misunderstanding. The FORUM is password protected, and has been long before I knew this mod existed. It has nothing to do with spam: it is a private forum for a group that doesn't want the world to view it. Anyway, I temporarily removed the password temporarily to reduce the list of suspects. Even without a password I still get the error I reported. How can I correct this error? |

ok. got past the imap error. Turns out this error message isn't just about which of the 6 connection type settings to use.
Now, the emails are posting, but there is a bunch of code preceeding and following the text. for example, I just replied to a post via email with "did this work?" The post in the forum reads: Message BODY { FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif } TABLE { MARGIN-TOP: 1em; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff66 } TD { FONT-SIZE: 80%; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif } TH { FONT-SIZE: 80%; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, helvetica, sans-serif } did this work? I tried html on and html off for that forum and for the usergroup that uses it, but the results were the same in both cases. Also, two quote boxes show up in each email post. one is who it is from (which we already know from the postbit) and the second quote box copies the original post, (which we already know from the thread) How do I strip out the code and just get the text of the reply? . Thanks |

I see this same question was asked at the beginning of the month as well, and no answer was posted.

That's an issue witht he preg_replace code and my attempts to quote the previous posters message.
The new version has a completely new set of preg_replace code written for it that I'll need to test out heavily, but right now that version is still hanging on some issues I'm working on with using the vbmail function from a cron job and rebuilding the message headers. As soon as I solve that problem, things will progress quickly to releasing the new version. Unfortunately my job and family come first so time has become a little constrained as of late, so I'm unable to define an eta for the next version. |

It's usually pretty easy to double check the username and password, that leaves you with trying "localhost" the IP Address or mail.yourdomain.com as the host and then trying the connection types. Typically at least that's the most common issues. |

I didn't realize this mod wasn't finished, and promised a group of users I'd implement it. can you at least tell me where to comment out the invitation to post new threads and reply via email in the outgoing email to users so they don't? That would be a good bandaid until you get time to finish this. |

Unfortunately there is no easy quick fix. Even if you forced it to use plain text, many email browsers only send an html formatted email, which would gain you blank messages from those users.

Doubleclick - contact me off list..I actually hacked the code and made it exactly what you are looking for....if there is a plaintext message, it uses that over the HTML, and only falls to the HTML if there is nothing else.
It also does some smart quoting of the original ... I do think it ignores most BB markup except URL Its just a replacement of one file .. but it does fork the code ... user: cgmckeever provider: gmail |

Cgmckeever -
I'd love to compare the code for the rewrite I've got coming down the line. Would you mind sending me a copy? |
