Quote Notification
Description: This plugin will add a "Quote Notification" option for users to select. If selected, your board users will receive a notification by PM whenever someone quotes them in a post.
Installation:
Import the attached product XML file (product-quotenotification.xml);
More settings:
If you want to change the content of the PM that gets sent, the phrases are quotenotify_subject and quotenotify_message;
The email notification has a separate phrase, quotenotify_emailmessage;
If you want to change the Profile Field options, find the "Quote Notification" field in your User Profile Field Manager in the ACP;
If you're not sure exactly what you're doing, you better leave these alone.
Warning:DO NOT change the title of the Profile Field from "Quote Notification", or the values from "Private Message", "Email", and "No" or this hack will not work.
User settings:
Your forum users can set their Quote Notification prefferences via User CP > General Settings > under Messaging & Notification.
This hack is a port of Krohf's modification for vb 3.5.
Since many people might find it handy on their boards, I decided to publish it for 4.0.
If you installed the product please mark as installed, so you can receive future update notifications. If you want to help develop this product further, please post your suggestions on the thread, or share your ideas with me via PM.
That's a very nice hack. It even works on vB 3.6.x and 3.7.x, although its settings are blank.
Anyway, can you please let us know how to set the PM or Email option as default. Currently only few users have selected one of those options other than "No". I tried changing the order in Profile Field manager, but as you said it does not work afterwards.
I appreciate if you tell us how to make PM or Email as default option for this incredible hack.

*happily clicks install*
* Go to User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager
* Locate the "Quote Notification" field, and click "Edit"
* In the big "Options" textbox, switch "Yes" and "No" so that "Yes" is first. This will make "Yes" the default option.
* Make sure the "Set Default" option is set to "Yes" as well
* Save your changes
The mod will still work if you change the order, but it will not work if you change or try to translate the entire name of the options. In case you want to translate the options, there's another way of doing that without causing the mod to malfunction. But you will be required to edit the product file before importing it to your forum... If someone needs to do that, I'll post a little tutorial.

Thank you for this great mod. Working on 4.0.3 but this solution for default option is not working. I need to have the default option "Private Message", would you please work on it?

Thank you.
To do that, erase "yes" and "email" from the options field and just leave "Private Message" and "No". But leave Private Message on top. That will put PM as the default and "no" as an option that people could choose if they don't like the feature.

Thanks for the Mod AcidX. Just a suggestion. On one of the older versions of this mod, instead of having the quote notification sent to your PM, you could just click on "user cp" and it would be below subscribed threads and above Latest Rep. Any chance you could do this again? My Members loved it and you wouldnt have to get a ton of PM's.

I do that and "Private Message" option shows as the default option in members control panels, but it's not working. I think it needs some changes in xml file.
