Send Private Message to Public Group Leader on Join Requests

This quick and dirty little hack sends a PM to the leaders of a public group when a join request has been made.

I am surprised this isn't built into vbulletin.

Installed. There are two

PHP Code:

eval(print_standard_redirect('usergroup_requested')); 


I added the code above the second. Is that correct?

[amykhar]

oops. Hold on, let me check for a better reference point.

[amykhar]

ok. The directions have changed. The code you are looking for is:

// insert the request
		$DB_site->query("
			INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergrouprequest
				(userid,usergroupid,reason,dateline)
			VALUES
				($bbuserinfo[userid], $usergroupid, '" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($_POST['reason'])) . "', " . TIMENOW . ")
		");

Add the code changes after that bit of code. I've changed the directions. Thanks for catching that there were two instances of that code.

OK, so I was the first to post in this Thread, first to install, found the first problem with the instructions, and still installed it correctly? Woohoo!

Easy hack for a change, huh?

As u said 'quick and dirty'.......good work!

*clicks install*

Someone finally put in a join request and the PM was properly generated so I can verify that this works (on a security patched vB 3.0.3 Board).

This is great timing, I 'just' started using public groups and found it annoying when I discovered that there was no notification other than checking the Group page all the time.
