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

Just a quick note for those stating they are having problems running the mod on 3.8
I just copied my board to a test server, upgraded it to 3.8.3, redid the file edit to class_mail.php And it's working just fine.. |

Your giving great support to everyone. I've asked many times over many months and got nothing?
How is that fair? I used this product for over 3 years now. If you don't wish to support me then let me know and I will move on. Quote:

What edits need to be done? I tried searching the thread, but didn't find anything.

It's in the install.txt file in the zip attached to the main post of this thread.

This is volunteer work. On a side note. I uninstalled and reinstalled on my 3.8.3 test board and everything worked great. Please check the other thread. No sense in having this discussion in two threads. |

Hello,
I have installed the "Email Integration 2.6 Version for VB37.zip" on vBulletin 3.8.1. I am having a problem with the reply emails not being posted to the forum. The emails are coming through just fine. However, when you reply to the emails they are not being posted. I looked through the instructions and it says there is a script to test the settings. However, I can't find it. Anyone know where it is? Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? Thank you! Gabe |

Hello Cyricx,
There is no menu on the left hand side of the screen. Any ideas why this would be? I followed all of the instructions to install the MOD and the emails are coming through like I said... Thanks ahead of time... |
