AutoPM after addBuddy

What: This will send an automatic PM to a user after you add him/her to your Buddy List. The PM you automatically sent is saved within your outfolder and the Admin can modify the title and message of the PM by changing the phrases.

1 Product (1 plugin and 2 phrases)

Versions / Features:

• 1.0.0 - released on 1/9/06
  
• 1.0.1 - added automatic approval link into body of PM received by user
  added a check to prevent looping of the PM if the receiver already has the sender on his/her buddylist
  
• 1.0.2 - added an anti-harassment link in the PM to deter users from "annoying" others into becoming their friends.
  added link so receiver of PM can easily view sender's profile.
  
• 1.0.3 - cleaned up code and added link for recipient of PM to view sender's profile from within PM
  
• 1.0.4 - Fixed bug which was wrongly sending PM to someone when user added someone to his/her ignore list
  

To Install: Just import the xml file as a product from within AdminCP>PluginSystem>ManageProducts>Add/ImportProduct

To change the title of the PM, edit $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_tit], and to change the message of the PM, edit $vbphrase[anti_autopm_bud_mes].

PLEASE REMEMBER TO BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL!

Thanks: Thanks to Andreas for writing the [HowTo] Send PM's Automatically. This was inspired by Cloud Warrior's really cool vbFriends hack, which lacked this functionality and it seemed like many people would want it.

about: I'm taking this out of beta, as i think it's working all right by now. Any advice on how to improve this, comments, or bugs - are more than welcome, as I will do my best to address all.

If you use this, please click the install thingie

The only time I stop getting the error is when I disable this plugin.

I'm using PHP 5 and MySQL 5

Try adding a super mod to your list.. I dont get it when I add one of my supermods.. Havent tried the mods or other supermods though...

Could this be modified with an admin definable setting to either:

a: require Mary to click an "approve" link BEFORE mary is added to his buddy list?
b: allow John to add mary without her approval (the way it works now).

Could this be done?

bump!!

This is a really nice plugin. Good job!

I can't reproduce that error MorrisMcd. Did you try disabling all other hacks/plugins/and reverting other template edits? Maybe there's a conflict with one of your other plugins/products.

Try to disable the plugin system and see if you still get the error when adding someone to your buddylist. What happens?

[criscokid]

I've installed this mod but I'm not seing any PMs being sent when adding people to my buddy list. The added budy isn't receiving a PM and there's no PM in my sent PM folder.

[Nachtfalke]

Seems to work like a charm when you add a buddy through his profile page.
It would be brilliant, if this would work also, if you add a buddy through the buddylist itself. Duplicating the plugin and changing the hook to misc_buddylist_complete seems not to do the trick (forgive me if this sounds stupid, i am not a coder).
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Your error is on line 35 of profile.php, correct? That's the pre-caching of USERCP_SHELL template...

PHP Code:

// pre-cache templates used by all actions
$globaltemplates = array(
 'USERCP_SHELL',
 'usercp_nav_folderbit'
); 


not sure why you're getting that error cuz this plugin is hooking into the code all the way down at hook "profile_doaddlist_complete" on line 725. As far as i can tell, this plugin is not causing your error. It must be one of your other plugins/hacks causing that error.
