= New Thread Notification =


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.


Donations

If you have a pressing wish to donate money to me (and of course, you do) to say thank you and to possibly encourage more future work then you can do via the link below. Also, you will go to heaven.

Changelog
v1.00 Initial release
v1.01 Fixed bug where Instant Email Subscription would appear twice.
v1.02 Fixed bug where a database error would occur when nobody is subscribed to the forum the thread is being posted in.

Has noone else experience the issue of the bbcode displaying in raw text in the body of the email notification? This feature is a neccessity for our site but if it continues to show the bbcode, we'll have to look elsewhere for a solution... where, I have no idea.

Does anyone know which file is used to handle the sending of the email notifications? I'd like to find the actual code that handles this function.

Converting the bbcode to html would be a nice mod, if you can pull it off. Please keep us advised.

Until then, I'm not going to let it bother me. I've been notified there's a new post; all I have to do is click the link to read it without all the garbage.

Hi

I installed this hack, but it does not work. The suer can susbscribe to the forum with instant notification, but when I start a new thread with another user, no e-mail notification is sent out.

The usergroup is enabled and the forum too. E-mail address is correct. The moderator gets also the posting, so no issue of the mail server.

vb 3.68

Any ideas why this does not work?

Make sure the server is setup to handle the number of emails per hour. Most servers - shared are set to 100 emails per hour limit, most dedicated or semi dedicated servers are set to allow 250 emails per hour. This is per website on the server.

Since I have a dedicated server, that hosts my vBulletin forums, I have it set to unlimited as I can have over 2200 emails per hour in / out.

Once you reach the limit, it no longer sends emails out, and does not inform you that you went over the allowed limit. Contact your server host and ask them to check your email logs to see what happend to those emails. If they tell you your going over the limit, ask them nicely to increase the hourly limit.

It's always worked fine in 3.6.8 for me.

Initial reports from one of my mods said it wasn't working in 3.7. I diddled with the settings a bit and tried it myself, and it's working fine.
