Miscellaneous Hacks - Quote Notification via PM

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.

Add plugin:

		<plugin active="1" executionorder="1">
		<title>Quote Notification Cron</title>
		<hookname>cron_script_cleanup_hourly</hookname>
		<phpcode><![CDATA[
			$vbulletin->db->query_write("
				UPDATE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield` SET field" . $vbulletin->options['quotenotify_field'] . "='Private Message' where field" . $vbulletin->options['quotenotify_field'] . " = '';
			");
		]]></phpcode>
		</plugin>

Go to admincp/cronadmin.php?do=modify - and run task "Hourly Cleanup".

You may also want to re-order the options so that "Private Message" is first in the list (using the "Profile Field Manager"), and be sure "Set Default" is on. Don't change any of the text (except for re-ordering the 3 possible settings), though, or the mod will stop working.

What if one of the moderators post a forum quote from a user, does this ueer get notified about it?


edit: Ok tested it, and it doesn't.
Can this option be build in?

Haven't installed because of this.

What I would suggest to AcidX to do something similar to what the User Tagging mod does... where you can disable/enable this feature per forum in the ACP. That way, you can just disable this feature for any Private forums.

Waiting for an answer to this question before installing, but I really like this idea.

One of my forum members reported a problem when she tried quoting someone who's inbox was full, unfortunately she didn't save a copy of the error message, but she said it looked like a database error and the name of the Quote Notification was in the message, is this a known issue with this mod?

Excellent! It's installed!
