Private Message: Auto Reply · **Released**: 04-30-2011

What is Private Message: Auto Reply?
This will give your users the option to have the forum send an auto-reply to PM's they receive.
This can be every PM, or PM's during a specified time frame.

The idea for this mod came from https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=116325 by Hellcat. While the idea came from there, this code is custom, and mine (just thought I should note that).

Features

Adds an auto reply option to the Private Message system for users.
The mod can be turned ON and OFF in when a user edits their options.
The mod can be turned ON and OFF globally by the admin.
The mod can be set to only allow certain usergroups to use the system.
Users have the option of specifying a timeframe for the auto reply.

Installation
1. Extract the contents of the zip file.
2. Enter your AdminCP and go to Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
3. Import the product using the `product-pm_autoreply.xml` file.
4. Configure the mod in AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Private Message Options

Upgrading
In many cases, all you'll need to do to upgrade is follow the installation instructions above.

The only difference, will be you'll need to allow the files to overwrite. Also, when re-importing the
product file, you'll need to set "Allow Overwrite" to "Yes".

I just thought about that special case and wondered if it would start to jump in an infinite loop.
Thanks, I'll have a try

Installed for testing with thanks on vBulletin 4.1.3pl5...

First question...

I have no idea what I've done wrong, but I can't find the user screen anywhere, that a member in the "included" group can set the options shown in the pics.

I'm not referring to the AdminCp options under "Private Messages", as I have set those. I'm talking about where a logged in member would find the options to set for himself personally.

The screen shown does not appear under "General Settings" on my site after I've installed this mod.

Thanks for any feedback ..

Regards,
Doug

I have another board that has Mass PM - Any chance this works with that?

Had some issues getting the mod working. But I re-installed it and all seems well now.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
