Add-On Releases - Instant New Thread Notification

FYI: The original mod was developed by RedTyger for vB3.6
I updated it to work in vb4.
RedTyger could not be reached but I wanted to get this out so others could use it.

Description

Very simple, it adds instant email notification for forums. If you are subscribed to a forum using instant email notification, whenever a new thread is posted you will be sent an email containing the details and the thread text.

Options: (AdminCP > vBulletin Options > New Thread Notification)

Enable new thread notifications?
Choose Yes to enable instant email notification for new threads.

Allow new thread notification for Usergroups:
Enter the IDs of the usergroups you want to allow to subscribe to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3)

If you only want to exclude usergroups instead of including them, leave this blank to allow everyone to subscribe to instant new thread notifications except those listed below.

Do NOT allow new thread notification for Usergroups:
Enter the IDs of the usergroups you want to exclude from subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3) Leave blank to not exclude usergroups.

Allow new thread notification for Forums:
Enter the IDs of the forums you want to allow subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3)

If you only want to exclude forums instead of including them, leave this blank to allow instant new thread notifications in every forum except those listed below.

Do NOT allow new thread notification for Forums:
Enter the IDs of the forums you want to exclude from subscribing to instant new thread email notifications, separated by commas. (i.e. 1,2,3) Leave blank to not exclude forums.

Use mailqueue?
Choose Yes for new thread notifications to use mailqueueing as per your settings (Recommended for all except very low traffic forums). Choosing No will bypass mailqueueing and send all emails instantly.

Installation Instructions:
1. Go to AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product.
2. Upload the new_thread_subscription_xxx.xml file.
Done!

To subscribe to new thread notifications just subscribe to a forum as normal. The new option has been added to the list.

Why this modification and this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...96#post2044296 ??

Isnt?it the same?

[bernieberg]

Yes, it is. I updated it though. vilhiem posted it after I attached it to a thread else where. I think he is going to take his version down.

[vilhiem]

Sorry for the confusion. I closed down the other mod. I just wanted to make sure people saw this as it was only in the vB3.6 Mod section (instead of in the vB4 one).

In either case, nice work BernieBerg!

Oh, still have this outstanding question:

In the notification e-mail that is sent, it incorrectly states that the original author of the "thread" is the one that posted the latest "reply" ... instead of the actual replying author.
