Email Integration (New Threads/Replies by and through email!)
Developer Last Online: Dec 2011
This modification allows you to mimic email lists such as yahoo groups through your forums! Complete with the user's receiving emails for new threads and replies AND being able to reply directly from email or sending a new email to start a new thread! Just like email lists, you will need a separate email box for EACH forum that you have this enabled for!! After installing this modification in the forum manager you will enter the settings for each forum to connect to it's own email box. After doing so, members can subscribe to each forum that this mod is enabled for to receive notifications for new threads and replies. Any posts in that forum, will be sent to them via email in one of two formats that you as the administrator decide. One format has a "reply box" and is the most sure fire way of not getting excess email crap ont he forums. The second format (noted as "Old" format) keeps an email in its base pure form with some attempts at quoting messages. Examples of both are attached below. The users can then reply to that email (which will then be processed and posted to the forums through the cron job that runs every 10 minutes), or they can send a new email to the email address and a brand new thread will be created! Essentially mimicing an email list! Suddenly those users that hate forums, can still be dragged into the conversations and help keep the forum's activity level up! IMAP You MUST have php imap functions enabled on your server to use this modification! You do not need to have IMAP installed, just have to enable php to use the functions by recompiling it with imap enabled! If you are upgrading from the version for vbulletin 3.6.x , see below! BUGS! These are the known bugs to date:
These are the items that are not currently supported:
Huge thanks also goes to the many individuals that have helped test various incarnations of this mod. MAD PROPS TO: cgmckeever for a great quoting regex for the old format, and all the mods at www.4winmobile.com for helping test version 2.4 prior to release!! You guys rock! Please feel free to donate to my continued work on this modification!! It let's me spend more time on it! Make a Donation! Version 2.6 will work with both 3.6.8 and 3.7x Upgrading from version for 3.6.x
The #.X.X versions are the beta versions. New features and bug fixes will be worked in there and then when I have a solid version it'll be released as the next #.X Thank you!! ~ Cyricx Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

I wonder if some of the successful users of this mod could suggest some things to try to resolve a problem I am having.
I have been using EI successfully for over a year now with a forum of around 500 users, most of whom had "instant email notification" for new posts selected (that was the default autosubscribe for new users). For a variety of reasons I recently decided to disable EI for most users, so I removed the "Registered Users" usergroup ID in the EI settings for each of my forums. However, when a new post was made in one of the forums and email notification still went out to all Registered Users. Can anyone suggest any reasons why this might happen? |

The same mod for vb4.x.x. would be wonderful...

At this point I think it is reasonable to assume that this mod has been abondoned by the author and is no longer supported.
I certainly do not expect any mod to be supported for eternity. At the same time I do think the author has a responsibility to make his users aware that it is being killed off. I, like others, made multiple contributions to support an effort that was already dead. I do think this was one of the best mods ever. Unfortunately, it has now become a nightmare as it leaves me stuck on VB 3.7. |

The mod has installed and works on my VB 3.8.3 I have only done basic testing so I do not yet know of any problems but at least I can confirm that the 2.6 version of this mod for VB 3.7 does install and work on VB 3.8.3 |

Well done. Have you thought about publishing your tweaks in the 4.x Mods forum?

I was setup with Vb 4.1.2 and i meet an error . Warning: array_merge() Argument #1 is not an array in ....

Does that warning stop EI from functioning? Where precisely in the code is the warning reported?
You can also off the reporting of warnings in the PHP settings. Warnings should be logged, not displayed. |
