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

Can someone fix this hack so that admins & moderators can be excluded from the PM. What I mean is if you are a mod or an admin and I add a member to my buddy list I dont want that person to receive the notice PM, This is usefull when you are monitoring a member and dont want them to know the staff has added them to their buddy list...

Dude, thanks for that!

The next version i'm currently working on will allow admin to specify which usergroups send the autopm and which ones don't.

I'm working on it, but having some trouble with one of the new features, but it's coming along well. Jelsoft changed some stuff regarding the way buddies are added/removed so I have to work around it and another small issue with the usergroup permissions feature but it's coming along nicely.

I'm using this with the MYSPACE profile re-write script. Product is installed but no PM goes out when friend is added. Any help?

[JoeZ]

Which one are you using, the one in the original post or the one I posted on the last page?
