Private Messages Enhancements - Private Message: Auto Reply

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".

Changelog
Version 1.0.1, 02/05/2013

• Removed "excluded" usergroups and changed to ti "allowed".
• Added code to disable an auto-reply being sent if the sender has their own auto-reply set to On.

Version 1.0.0, 05/01/2011

• Initial release.

I enabled the settings in the admin panel. However, when I then go into member settings, general settings, the option to turn on auto reply for PM does not appear.

I have the same problem with vB4.1.3 ...

I finally un-installed it since there's no support...

Doug,

I was able to get it working, but am running 4.2PL3. If you want to pm me, I can walk you through the steps I followed

[s.f.w.]

I realize I am cluttering this thread, but..
I "thought" I had this working. The option is enabled on both admin and user side. However, when a pm is sent to a user with auto reply enabled, no auto response is sent.
Can't see that I am doing anything wrong.

Might try going and installing V1 and see if that works.

[s.f.w.]

using V1 it is now working properly.
I also noticed, when I was using 1.01, vb still showed it as version 1.0 .
Despite my uninstalling before upgrading, and allowing overwrite.

It's correct v. 1.0.1 does not work with vb4.2 PL3 but 1.0.0 does.
I hope the author of this hack is still around and fixes it.

[thang28101993]

Yeah, Please check again v1.0.1, It didn't work for Vb4.2 Pl3!
Thanks so much!

Eric does not respond here so it looks like I have to un-install the product for the moment.

[Keythacker]

Does not seem to work with 4.2.1 or I can not see the options in user settings. and yes I have added the Admin group to be able to use this

[ForceHSS]

The updated version does not work as he messed up the coding and still has not fixed it the older one does

[Keythacker]

I have uninstalled the new one and installed the old one I am able to enable the product in Admin but there is nothing to add in the user settings for auto reply? guess since he is not replying here I will uninstall. To bad this would have been a great plugin.
