New Posting Features - Contact us Thread

This is my first Mod, so please go easy on me.

Information:
The idea for the mod came from various requests on the mod request section. I also liked the idea. So went through the process and compiled the codes that does the job. I am new to vB, and so not very familiar with the codes. So it is very simple and no option Mod. You have to manually change the ForumID in the plugin section. In future I hope to add a option in ACP so it becomes easier. For now, just Enjoy!

Update:
First major update is here. Now you can manage the forum ID from the ACP and can on or off the hack. And another update made. Now able to send the form as a PM. You can control the username from ACP and can use either Thread or PM or Both or None.

I was busy with my forum recently, so could not provide the Update sooner. But I think I can be spared. New features see a reply mail being sent to the mail sender and instead of username in the PM, it uses User ID for flexibility. But doing this, I lost the multiple PM send option. I think I need to work on that a bit. But for now here goes the latest development.

Features:

• Submits the Contact us form as a Thread in a forum you specify. The body part of the thread is the exact message that you get in the mail.
• Option in ACP to control forum id and hack on/off.
• Option to PM the Form.
• Sent a Email confirmation to sender.

Projected Addition: (future update)


Install instruction:
==> Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
==> Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Contact Us Thread Option and Change the options to your preference.

Upgrade:
==> Simply uninstall the product and reinstall. Uninstall is must, since there are some changes in Phrases.

Current Version:
1.2.0

Change Log:
1.0.0 - Initial Release.
1.1.0 - ACP integration.
1.1.2 - PM the Form to a staff. (then where is 1.1.1??? Simple. I don't like Nelson, 111 )
1.2.0 - Reply mail to sender.

Due to my work load, I could not check this version to the end limit. So minor bugs might pop up. I would like to see feedback so I can correct them.

If you want to send the mail in HTML format, then you can use my other Mod as well, HTML Emails

If you like this hack please click INSTALL.

This works flawlessly on 4.2.1 - thank you so much! GREAT for team administration, in conjunction with post reports -> new thread, and multiple user detection -> new thread.
