thanks alot! been waiting for this... you know what would be a great function though. if users could even pm the users they admire as SECRET ADMIRER (or the user specified as notifyer), to give them tips, cuz i run an incredibly huge forum... in which case it would just be entertaining as hell.
need just the function to count the admirers... this would incitate users to participate... because when you don't know who is interested in you, you are not really into it.. ;0
I'm against doing this. Because we had major politics on our site...
ya, maybe on your site, you have politics... on our site, it's the opposite, we require all tools to send messages thru PM or onscreen because we avoid eMails... we want our users to login on our site to have contacts with each others...
He didn't mean that his forum is about politics, he meant it would interfere with personal politics. I'd actually realised the same thing last night - this kind of info could cause a lot of issues for users. With this in mind, for extra security - it would be nice for a user to turn off admiration - so they can NOT be admired, via UCP. Obviously if they do not receive, they also can not give.
Buro9; I do not see any redirects at all. And what I was asking for is maybe a page where it would state "Your admiration for X has been registered - you need take no further action. Click here to go back to the X's profile.". On a similar note, for the report; "Your secret admirer report has been sent to the e-mail address in your profile - click here to go back to your Control Panel.".
Another suggestion is maybe moving admiration notifications over to an hourly CRON job. I just realised that if the user admiring, and the user being admired are using the forums at the same time - that the e-mail would alert the admired, if they quickly checked Active Users the admirer would probably still be [or be listed as being] viewing the admired's profile - giving the game away. Not sure if that makes any sense haha...
As for limits... check your Settings Alien, you can set 3 admirations max within a 24 hour period... or 10 per month... or whatever you feel based on a quantity within timeframe calculation.
Exxxxcellent.. Sorry, some early versions of this hack I thought didn't have this ability.. I never saw it in any descriptions or control panel screenshots so I was assuming the ability wasn't there. Carry on!

I second this.. If only a handful of users are on and one gets an e-mail, it severely limits the choices and would be a total giveaway.. I think it should send out the e-mails on an hourly cron job to make the game that much more enjoyable.. I also believe that allowing users to NOT receive any notices (the option not to be involved in the game whatsoever) would really be helpful as well.. Thanks for considering these!
