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

I still have one remaining problem after the update -- the emails sent from the forum all have the forum name in the "From" field instead of the user name (as they had previously). I've been poking through the options but haven't found the one that controls that setting. Rex Conn |

Hi Rex,
You can control it from: AdminCP - vBulletin Options - Email Integration Settings - Use Single From Address. I have that option selected, but if you turn it off, I assume it does what you want. Regards, Toivo |

Hi there,
Ive tried installing the mod. I can get messages to be sent to Inbox but when replying i get the following error "Email Integration Imap not recognized!! You MUST enable IMAP extensions on your server in your php.ini file! Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level in /home/upload/includes/cron/emailintegration.php on line 52" You say to make sure IMAP is turned on in php.ini yet i dont have dirrect access, if i know the command to turn it on my host has said i can place the command in a file named php.ini and it will turn the option on, can anyone help me with code to do this as i have no idea. Im running on a linux server. Kindest Regards, Tim |

That is odd because according to the manual at http://php.net/manual/en/imap.installation.php, only Windows users can add the extension to php.ini. Otherwise PHP needs to have been compiled with the option --with-imap. Regards, |

I'm currently on version 2.3.1 and looking to upgrade to the latest version (2.6.1). Do I need to actually upgrade to version 2.4, then to 2.5 and then the latest version? If so, where do I find the older versions?
Thanks, LB |

Same issue as txspaderz. I am trying to import messages from a mailbox and don't care who the From address is. Can we circumvent the Invalid Email when running the scheduled task to post to a forum with no restrictions on membership?

Would it also be possible to automatically merge threads with same title? The way it is set up, each new email shows as a new thread. Is there any way to lump threads together if they have the same title?
For example, a round of emails go about with the subject RE: Help please! - instead of 17 emails turning into 17 threads, I would like them to show as one thread. I know there is a merge function, but I would prefer not to have to manage this on a daily basis. Thanks for the add-on! Good stuff! |

Hi Chris,
It has been a while since I installed this excellent mod. Thanks for your earlier help to get some of the minor wrinkles worked out. I have a strange problem that I could use your help with. I have several hundred users on my forum now. Out of these users, as near as I can tell, only two of us are receiving duplicate emails from every forum post. When you go into the UserCP -> EditOptions -> Format For Email Integration and change from Text to HTML, you then get one email in text and the other in HTML. This is about the only clue I have to go on right now. The only other information I can think to give you is that I am running 3.68 Patch 2 (yes, I know I need to upgrade - not enough cycles in the day yet), and that one of the users is a RegisteredUser, and I am an Administrator. Any help you might give would be very appreciated. Brad |

Hi Chris
One more thing. I would like to upgrade both vBulletin and Email Integration. Should I upgrade one before the other? Brad |
