So, a little something this time I had on my mind for quite a while now....
PM Auto-Reply MOD by ---==> HELLCAT <==---
This adds an "auto responder" to the PMs.
When enabled, everytime you get sent a PM the sender is automatically returned a PM containing a predefined message (editable in options).
To tell the sender you're offline for a while and answer should be expected sometime later or such....
Features:
Adds an auto responder (auto reply) option to the PMs
Can be turned ON and OFF in useroptions
A date can optionally be specified between automated replies are sent
Another user can optionally be specified to whom a copy of the recieved PM is forwarded to
Admin can specify usergroups not allowed to use the auto responder
Installation:
Import the product .XML
One tiny template edit:
Open template "modifyoptions " (in "Modify Useroptions" group) and FIND THIS:
Code:
$customfields[messaging]
AFTER it, ADD:
Code:
$pmautoreply_option
Save the template.
Done, and enjoy!
The admin option for excluding usergroups is in "vBulletin Options" -> "Private Messaging Options" at the bottom: "Exclude usergroups from using the PM auto reply feature"
I intentionally didn't do it with usergroup permissions since that would require a .XML file to be uploaded and I wanted to stay this as a single product/plugin file
[hint]I'd also like something like this on vb.org [/hint]

Found a bug with this plugin with the PM autoforward. If the autoreply is not enabled, but a user for messages to be automatically forwarded to is set, then PMs received are still forwarded to the other user (is this meant to happen?) and because of the way it is coded, the forwarded PM doesn't have a "fromusername" or "fromuserid" set and so the forwarded PM appears to have been sent by no one. I think this can be fixed by only forwarding the message if the message is having an auto reply sent.
I've followed the instructions as specified, for 3.5.4, and everything shows up as it should both in the user options page and the backend.
However nothing seems to happen when a user sets a away PM. When you save the options page, and then go back ot it the on box for auto reply is ticked off, and the away message isn't there anymore. it also doesn;t seem to be sending an away PM either. Any idea why this might be happening?
We are running 3.6.0 and when we installed this tonight, the Edit Options link goes to a blank page. Any clue on how to fix this? My mods are desperate for this feature!!
