Send a Private Message to Public Group Leaders Upon a Join Request

I'm still surprised this isn't built in yet. What this mod does is to send a private message to all of the leaders of a public group, letting them know that somebody wants to join the group.

To install:
Add a new phrase: (obviously, change the url to go to your board )
group_memberships_message

Text:
A request has been made to join the public group: {1}, of  which you are a leader.
You may validate the user here

Then, upload the plugin and turn it on. Easy as pie. Enjoy and thanks to Kirby for his tutorial on how to send private messages.

That was it! Thanks!!

Not sure how the phrase got deleted but thats definately what was causing the error.

You could add the phrase to the plugin (if its a product)

This was written before products and vbulletin changed the way it handled phrases on upgrades. Anybody who has it installed can easily change it to a product on their own system to avoid it from happening in the future.

I gotta install this.......I agree, this should be part of vb..

If HTML for PMs is not allowed this is not working.

vBTags like [URL] are also not working and I don't want to enable HTML for PMs.

Is there another solution to fix this?

did anyone figure this out? I'm in the same boat. Here is what my message looked like.

A request has been made to join the public group, + SWG Player, of which you are a leader.<br />
<br />
You may validate this user <a href="http://www.swglegend.com/lnr/portal/joinrequests.php?usergroupid=[ARG:2 UNDEFINED" target="_blank">]here</a> and you can manage all user groups <a href="http://www.swglegend.com/lnr/portal/profile.php?do=editusergroups" target="_blank">here</a>.

darn...I just realized that there is an ARG errror for {2}...any thoughts?

Installed... I just modified it to translate the title of the PM too
Thanks!

Im pretty new to all of vb and code stuff, but this seems like a great addition to any board. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I would make these changes at....i.e where to make the new phrase and how to put in the plug-in

Thanks for any and all help!

Just what I needed. Thanks Amy.

Feel like adding a bit more?

How about adding the ability for the group leader(s) to send a PM to the person submits a join request and is approved or rejected?

If accepted, user gets a "Welcome to the Group" PM.

If rejected, they get a "Sorry, but you do not meet the specified requirements to join this group."

Just another way to keep people from having to repeatedly check their UserCP for join status.


Just an idea.

I've thought about doing it when I have time. I guess I just keep expecting Jelsoft to make this a standard feature as it obviously should be one.

i like this hack. but am i missing something somewhere where user can make there own groups. and is there any hacks that would allow created user groups to allows create a forum when created. amy your smart and been around thats why i ask in the same topic (sorry for offtopic questions )
