Private Messages Enhancements - PM-Autoresponder

What is vBulletin PM-Autoresponder:

With this addon you can activate a so-called autoresponder for personal messages just like you know it from normal e-mail systems.

Installation:

Upload all files from /upload into your forum-root and install the product-file. Next you need to modify the usergroups, check the main section of 'private messages' for a new entry which says 'autoresponder'. In vB-settings, user: private messages, you'll find an option to inform users about receivers being offline since x days.

This addon works with TMS. For those who don't have TMS installed, they need to do the template-changes manually like this:

In template USERCP_SHELL search for:

<tr><td class="$navclass[pm_editfolders]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editfolders">$vbphrase[edit_folders]</a></td></tr>

and add the following text beneath it:

<if condition="$permissions['pmpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_pmpermissions['canusepmautoresponder']"><tr><td class="$navclass[pmautoresponder]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="privateautoresponder.php?$session[sessionurl]do=edit">$vbphrase[pmautoresponder_usercp]</a></td></tr></if>

Like I said before, you don't need to do any template modifications if you use TMS.

If your are using 'UserCP Navbar 1.2' in your forum, then you'll find the specific template-modifictions in the .zip-file.

Updates:
Simple overwrite the files within the 'download'-folder and import the productfile (with overwrite). That's it.

History:

1.0.0 - standard-version
1.0.1 - autoresponder can get time-defined by user, signature can optionally be shown in autoresponder, known bugs got fixed.
1.0.2 - fixed some small bugs, cc private messages if wanted to another user while autoresponder is active, send information to users who send messages to other users who havent been online since x days.
1.0.3 - fixed two small bugs and added a more comfortable for chosing datelines in user-settings.

More:

After this addon has been installed and the usergroups are set correctly, you'll find a new link in the personal message-section when being in usercp. Just have a look at the attached images and you'll see how it looks like.

Robert and I don't even know if this addon is needed or if there is another addon with the same function, but we didn't find any decent ones so we made one by our own.

We would like to thank captainslater for his help (translation, phrases, tests, etc.) during the (very short) time of coding this addon.

Hi there appears to be a bug in this in that characters are not escaped properly, specifically the apostrophe '''.

I get the following SQL errors for people who have apostrophe's in their name.

PHP Code:

SELECT userid, username, autoresponder, autorespondertext, autorespondertitle, autorespondersig, autorespondertotime, autoresponderccactive, autoresponderccuser, lastactivity
            FROM vb_user 
            WHERE ((autoresponder = 1 OR autoresponder = 2) AND (username LIKE 't'onion' OR username LIKE '')); 


Could this be sorted quickly as it's generating errors on my board and it's a great mod.

I have gotten the same thing and had to disable until it can be looked at.

I'm going to fix that this weekend, OK?

I just uploaded version 1.0.3 of the PM-Autoresponder. The bugs should be fixed (if not, then please report this here in the thread), also I added a more comfortable function to chose the datelines while being absent.

I cannot get this mod to work. Have uploaded files and imported the product today (on 3.7.3), making the template change manually. I've changed the usergroup settings - but the link in the UserCP never appears - it's as if it does not detect the usergroup settings.

As such, the mod won't seem to work at all.

Any suggestions?
