I am a new customer to vBulletin Project tools but I was very disapointed to discover that there was no notification when a new issue was added or replied to in vBulletin Projects.
What does this do?
This modification will create a new field in your projects database where "project managers" as determined by their username is stored. These "project managers" will get PMs when a new issue is added to the system and/or they will get a PM when a reply is posted to a topic that they are the project manager for.
How do I install this?
Step 1: Download the attached product file and install it like you install any vBulletin product file.
Step 2: Then you need to perform the following code edits:
Please note, I am posting this early as I need this capability for my own site and I am hoping to get some feedback on how I can improve this. I just coded it this evening and I only have one vBulletin Projects license so I have only tested this on my one site but I believe this should work for anyone...
Version History:
Version 1.0
- First Release

Thanks for the add-on. Anyway to have more custom subjects in the PM? Like the title of the post? I was able to customize the static text via the phrase manager. Also, anyway to differentiate subjects between the initial post and replies?
OK, I updated the script so that now it will check if the new topic or the reply to the topic was posted by one of project managers. If the post was made by one of the project managers, that project manager will now NOT get a notification that they posted a new topic or reply :erm:
I changed my own copy back to do that anyway, so it works more like JIRA. Would be nice to have this as an option if you have time in some future release.
Thanks, by the way! PT sorely needs this functionality.
1. Can you add an option to get instant notification via email directly instead of the PM?
2. It would also be nice if you could include the title of the issue and perhaps some of the text included in the PM/email.
3. A direct link to the issue would also be great.
First: many thanks for your work quarterbore :up::up::up:

It would be a brilliant extension for this mod - i agree to wcm -
* Too many recipients - you are attempting to send to 7 users but you are only allowed to send to 5 users.
Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in [path]/includes/class_dm.php on line 810
The problem is that an unlimited number of users can be set to receive a project tool PM. However, vbulletin only allows a PM to be addressed to 5 users. So ... the error comes since I had 7 project managers listed.
You can up how many PM's people can send out at once.
I would love it if this thing only sent the PM's to the people the task was assigned to. We have private tasks in some projects and you have to make everyone involved a "manager" at the project level.
Has anyone a Solution or a tip for my and others old old Question?

Or is there a way to put the text of the issue in the PM?

Your message is three years old, but most likely still unresolved.
I began work on this out of necessity.
I've implemented all three options, though the values are hard coded at the moment.
I'll try to post the code this week; if I can find time.
