Private Messages Enhancements - PM-Autoresponder

What is vBulletin PM-Autoresponder:

With this addon you can activate a so-called autoresponder for personal messages just like you know it from normal e-mail systems.

Installation:

Upload all files from /upload into your forum-root and install the product-file. Next you need to modify the usergroups, check the main section of 'private messages' for a new entry which says 'autoresponder'. In vB-settings, user: private messages, you'll find an option to inform users about receivers being offline since x days.

This addon works with TMS. For those who don't have TMS installed, they need to do the template-changes manually like this:

In template USERCP_SHELL search for:

<tr><td class="$navclass[pm_editfolders]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editfolders">$vbphrase[edit_folders]</a></td></tr>

and add the following text beneath it:

<if condition="$permissions['pmpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_pmpermissions['canusepmautoresponder']"><tr><td class="$navclass[pmautoresponder]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="privateautoresponder.php?$session[sessionurl]do=edit">$vbphrase[pmautoresponder_usercp]</a></td></tr></if>

Like I said before, you don't need to do any template modifications if you use TMS.

If your are using 'UserCP Navbar 1.2' in your forum, then you'll find the specific template-modifictions in the .zip-file.

Updates:
Simple overwrite the files within the 'download'-folder and import the productfile (with overwrite). That's it.

History:

1.0.0 - standard-version
1.0.1 - autoresponder can get time-defined by user, signature can optionally be shown in autoresponder, known bugs got fixed.
1.0.2 - fixed some small bugs, cc private messages if wanted to another user while autoresponder is active, send information to users who send messages to other users who havent been online since x days.
1.0.3 - fixed two small bugs and added a more comfortable for chosing datelines in user-settings.

More:

After this addon has been installed and the usergroups are set correctly, you'll find a new link in the personal message-section when being in usercp. Just have a look at the attached images and you'll see how it looks like.

Robert and I don't even know if this addon is needed or if there is another addon with the same function, but we didn't find any decent ones so we made one by our own.

We would like to thank captainslater for his help (translation, phrases, tests, etc.) during the (very short) time of coding this addon.

Any chance this will be converted for vbulletin 4.0?

[MrD]

Hi,
@photofox: maybe.
The Timeline is, that first the membermap than the glossary will convert.

[photofox]

Thanks for the info MrD. The Autoresponder is an excellent mod that we make good use of. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you decide to convert it for sure.

Hi,
@Vossi: any News about a VB4 Version of this Great Addon?

[home9000]

What about if 2 members or more have Autoresponder then one of them send PM to the another .

This will make Autoresponder run in loop and it will make the server down

Is this right ?
