Email Integration (New Threads/Replies by and through email!)
Developer Last Online: Dec 2011
This modification allows you to mimic email lists such as yahoo groups through your forums! Complete with the user's receiving emails for new threads and replies AND being able to reply directly from email or sending a new email to start a new thread! Just like email lists, you will need a separate email box for EACH forum that you have this enabled for!! After installing this modification in the forum manager you will enter the settings for each forum to connect to it's own email box. After doing so, members can subscribe to each forum that this mod is enabled for to receive notifications for new threads and replies. Any posts in that forum, will be sent to them via email in one of two formats that you as the administrator decide. One format has a "reply box" and is the most sure fire way of not getting excess email crap ont he forums. The second format (noted as "Old" format) keeps an email in its base pure form with some attempts at quoting messages. Examples of both are attached below. The users can then reply to that email (which will then be processed and posted to the forums through the cron job that runs every 10 minutes), or they can send a new email to the email address and a brand new thread will be created! Essentially mimicing an email list! Suddenly those users that hate forums, can still be dragged into the conversations and help keep the forum's activity level up! IMAP You MUST have php imap functions enabled on your server to use this modification! You do not need to have IMAP installed, just have to enable php to use the functions by recompiling it with imap enabled! If you are upgrading from the version for vbulletin 3.6.x , see below! BUGS! These are the known bugs to date:
These are the items that are not currently supported:
Huge thanks also goes to the many individuals that have helped test various incarnations of this mod. MAD PROPS TO: cgmckeever for a great quoting regex for the old format, and all the mods at www.4winmobile.com for helping test version 2.4 prior to release!! You guys rock! Please feel free to donate to my continued work on this modification!! It let's me spend more time on it! Make a Donation! Version 2.6 will work with both 3.6.8 and 3.7x Upgrading from version for 3.6.x
The #.X.X versions are the beta versions. New features and bug fixes will be worked in there and then when I have a solid version it'll be released as the next #.X Thank you!! ~ Cyricx Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

Oh really?
well I think its kinda ridiculous to release something and claim to support if you WON'T always. there's an un supported designation for that. I've seen that. Haven't you? This seems like deflection. |

Whenever i'm unavailable to fullfill my pledges as promised I let my community know. The demogrphic database of my newletter service is 300k. That's larger then users registered to the open forum. I don't take positions with the communnity (online or offline) that I can't make good on. And if its interupted I let the community know that i'm unavilable. Or if i really couldn't devote myself to it i'd let the community know or find myself a replacement. Thats all that has to be done. i mean a few days disappearance is cool. but I didn't get communications for months. and this is a product i wanted to support and I have used for many years in the past. especially if your suggesting i'm out of line for being unhappy now that support has gotten worse over the years. your a "designer/coder" taunting a member of the community. your trippin like a kid dude. and now that i'm realizing that... i'm laughing too. lolollol |

Look, let's not spam this thread up anymore then we already have. I was not taunting you. I was being mildly sarcastic (and mean very mildly). But not taunting. Don't be so thinned-skinned. By the way, I make no claim at being a coder/designer. That's just something the forum does automatically when you post a style or a template mod. I'm as dependent on this stuff working as you are. But if you are dependent on the largest part of your base being able to use a certain service, and you are concerned about being able to deliver that service, it seems to me you should more cautious about hinging those services on free products provided with no guarantee of availability. |

Let me try and bring this thread back to 'business'
Has anyone been able to work this mod into a way to post pictures to the site (MMS) uploaded via their mobile phone? If not, anyone have a suggestion on how to do something like this? |

haven't been able to contact the modder. he's been active in the 3.6.8 forum for this mod but not here.
3.6.8 isn't supported right? Why he's supporting them there I couldn't answer... |

Hmm...
8 year old daughter, Renaissance festival, regular performances, two not-for profit orgs (one I'm the president of) and 2 websites to maintain. O yeah, and a regular 40 hour a week job. Yeah, I'm a pretty busy man But I haven't forgotten about this, just haven't had the time to fix it for everyone. Not sure why some it is messing up on. It works fine on my test board for 3.8 with a fresh install. Anyway, new version will be coming, but it's gotta take it's line in my priority of life As mentioned, this is developer software, and last time I made about $1 an hour for the work I put in. So it's pretty much not for profit. I didn't pick this mod up because I had all the time in the world to put into it. I picked the mod up because nobody else would. *hugs to all* patience, I'm still here juggling life and trying to squeeze this in. |
