New Posting Features - Contact us Thread

This is my first Mod, so please go easy on me.

Information:
The idea for the mod came from various requests on the mod request section. I also liked the idea. So went through the process and compiled the codes that does the job. I am new to vB, and so not very familiar with the codes. So it is very simple and no option Mod. You have to manually change the ForumID in the plugin section. In future I hope to add a option in ACP so it becomes easier. For now, just Enjoy!

Update:
First major update is here. Now you can manage the forum ID from the ACP and can on or off the hack. And another update made. Now able to send the form as a PM. You can control the username from ACP and can use either Thread or PM or Both or None.

I was busy with my forum recently, so could not provide the Update sooner. But I think I can be spared. New features see a reply mail being sent to the mail sender and instead of username in the PM, it uses User ID for flexibility. But doing this, I lost the multiple PM send option. I think I need to work on that a bit. But for now here goes the latest development.

Features:

• Submits the Contact us form as a Thread in a forum you specify. The body part of the thread is the exact message that you get in the mail.
• Option in ACP to control forum id and hack on/off.
• Option to PM the Form.
• Sent a Email confirmation to sender.

Projected Addition: (future update)


Install instruction:
==> Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
==> Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > Contact Us Thread Option and Change the options to your preference.

Upgrade:
==> Simply uninstall the product and reinstall. Uninstall is must, since there are some changes in Phrases.

Current Version:
1.2.0

Change Log:
1.0.0 - Initial Release.
1.1.0 - ACP integration.
1.1.2 - PM the Form to a staff. (then where is 1.1.1??? Simple. I don't like Nelson, 111 )
1.2.0 - Reply mail to sender.

Due to my work load, I could not check this version to the end limit. So minor bugs might pop up. I would like to see feedback so I can correct them.

If you want to send the mail in HTML format, then you can use my other Mod as well, HTML Emails

If you like this hack please click INSTALL.

I have the same problem for the guests.... Is there a way to solve it?

But it is great plug-in. Thanks Shishir!!

Instead of having to do a username for "User who should get the PM.", could you do UserID?

We occasionally change usernames and wouldn't want it to bork :s

Can I have a screenshot? Do you have your IP Logging off? Cause I tested on several sites and can't create the error. Please a bit more info.

Hi Shishir,

The new thread that is created doesn?t include the email adress that the sender puts on the contact us form.

The contact us has this fields:

1. Your Name :
2. Email Address :
3. Subject
4. Message:

Only the email adress does not appear in the thread.

But it is a great mod!!Nice Job!!

[Shishir]

Do you see the Email address in the body part of the mail that sends at the time of submitting. Cause it does just takes the Mail Message body part and sends it in the thread.

[Classico]

Yes, in the mail that i receive it i see it but not in the tread.

But that is a detail... The mod is great! Thanks.

[Shishir]

So after a few days on recess, I have the new Update. Hope you like this one as well.

BTW, I intend to have some feedback, since this one is not tested to a high level, due to my pressure.

So then, enjoy the release.
Shishir
