Miscellaneous Hacks - Quote Notification via PM

Quote Notification

Description: This plugin will add a "Quote Notification" option for users to select. If selected, your board users will receive a notification by PM whenever someone quotes them in a post.


Installation:

• Import the attached product XML file (product-quotenotification.xml);

More settings:

• If you want to change the content of the PM that gets sent, the phrases are quotenotify_subject and quotenotify_message;
• The email notification has a separate phrase, quotenotify_emailmessage;
• If you want to change the Profile Field options, find the "Quote Notification" field in your User Profile Field Manager in the ACP;
• If you're not sure exactly what you're doing, you better leave these alone.

Warning: DO NOT change the title of the Profile Field from "Quote Notification", or the values from "Private Message", "Email", and "No" or this hack will not work.



User settings:

• Your forum users can set their Quote Notification prefferences via User CP > General Settings > under Messaging & Notification.

This hack is a port of Krohf's modification for vb 3.5.
Since many people might find it handy on their boards, I decided to publish it for 4.0.


If you installed the product please mark as installed, so you can receive future update notifications. If you want to help develop this product further, please post your suggestions on the thread, or share your ideas with me via PM.

I can see some of the phrases are no longer valid but I am not sure about the rest.

Quick edit to this hack to working in vb 4.2

1. Go to the admincp -> User Profile Field Manager -> See what Quote Notification field ID is (field5, field6, etc.)

2. Then edit field Options, change

PHP Code:

No
Email
Private Message 


To:

PHP Code:

Private Message
Email
No 


3. Go to Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query and run this query:

PHP Code:

UPDATE  userfield SET  field5 =  'Private Message' 


Don't forget to change fieldID and your table prefix.

Then all users will get a quote notification via PM.

Users can change the settings in User Settings -> General Settings -> Quote Notification.

Hope it helps .

Anyone know how to add notifications to the options of email or pm? It would be nice to have the quote alert sent to notifications, instead of having to clean out the pm box all the time.

Bumping in hopes someone has an answer to the following: Anyone know how to add notifications to the options of email or pm? It would be nice to have the quote alert sent to notifications, instead of having to clean out the pm box all the time.

Something like this (from realgm.com PHPBB forums) would be ideal for quote notifications: http://i.imgur.com/ZweWbLN.jpg

Edit: Mod tagged! Looks promising. Will need to play with PM limits for regular users, though.

[lobosnake]

such that only a select group of users to receive notification of appointment?

Does anyone know if there's a way to enable it for all users by default?

Can this option be build in?



edit2: could you also give us the query to update he Pm changes for all users? (to YES)

We seem to have come across a slight problem with it that you may be able to help with? We had an instance yesterday with an annoying member and we were talking about him in our Private Mod onlys forum that others can't see or enter...Well one of our mods put a quote of the member into a thread in the private forum and because the guy had notifications turned on he was able to access the Mod forum and read the post about him. It was only the fact a mod clicked on his profile and saw he was in there we found out. He admitted during a chat that he was taken directly to the mod forum when he was notified he had been quoted.I hope that makes sense. Any ideas people? Thanks in advance.
