Send Email When Specific User Posts

[wonderfulwat]

Hi all,

I'd like to have a feature to receive an email when a specific user makes a post.

I don't want to moderate their posts fully, but just monitor their posting by receiving an email.

Anyone have a product/plugin for this?

Thanks!

You could do something like so:

Create a plugin on the hook newpost_process.

Use this as the PHP:

PHP Code:

/// START CONFIG
$users_to_watch = array(1234,1235,1236);
$email_address = 'blah@bleh';
$email_subject = 'Bad User has posted: '.$vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
$email_content = 'Wahtever you want before the message...'."\n\n".$post['message']."\n\n".'...whatever you want after the message...';
/// END CONFIG
if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'],$users_to_watch)) {mail($email_address, $email_subject, $email_content);} 


Change the config stuff to whatever you want.



There's probably a few more elegant ways, but that's about the simplest.
