Versions / Features:

• 1.0.0 - released on 1/9/06
  
• 1.0.1 - added automatic approval link into body of PM received by user
  added a check to prevent looping of the PM if the receiver already has the sender on his/her buddylist
  
• 1.0.2 - added an anti-harassment link in the PM to deter users from "annoying" others into becoming their friends.
  added link so receiver of PM can easily view sender's profile.
  
• 1.0.3 - cleaned up code and added link for recipient of PM to view sender's profile from within PM
  
• 1.0.4 - Fixed bug which was wrongly sending PM to someone when user added someone to his/her ignore list
  

To Install: Just import the xml file as a product from within AdminCP>PluginSystem>ManageProducts>Add/ImportProduct

To change the title of the PM, edit $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit], and to change the message of the PM, edit $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_mes].

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!

Thanks: Thanks to Andreas for writing the [HowTo] Send PM's Automatically. This was inspired by Cloud Warrior's really cool vbFriends hack, which lacked this functionality and it seemed like many people would want it.

about: I'm taking this out of beta, as i think it's working all right by now. Any advice on how to improve this, comments, or bugs - are more than welcome, as I will do my best to address all.

If you use this, please click the install thingie

Now that would be very nice

Mmm... weird because the code I posted works for me fine. Mind you, my site is very hacked up.

Erwin,

Can you tell me how to check it? I add someone to my buddy-list and no-PM to them. I don't receive any errors so I don't know where to look.

I am not a coder but I can hack my way through most things.

Thanks.

This hack currently only works for version 3.5.x. When I am ready to upgrade my sites to 3.6.x, i'll work on porting over the hack, but until then it's only for 3.5.x.

Antivirus,

Any update to this

Sorry, have been really busy with some other things, and haven't been able to get to it yet. It's on my to-do list for next version of this hack however...
