Moderators Functions - Moderation Auto-PM v4.0.6

Hello all!

Moderation Auto-PM v4.0.6

What does this hack do?
When a thread is opened/closed, stuck/unstuck, moved, or a post is deleted, a PM will be automatically sent to the poster to inform them of this.

Instructions

1. Upload all *.php files to your vBulletin includes directory
2. Import the product XML (set allow overwrite to yes if you are upgrading from a previous version)
3. Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification.
4. Show Your Support by Donating
5. Done

Features

• The text of the pm is no longer hardcoded but uses phrases
• Ability to "respect" a recycle bin forum (lots of bigger boards still seem to use this)
• Moderation Auto-PM will not show the user where their thread/post is being moved to/from if they do not have permission to view the forum (example if you move a thread to a staff only forum the original poster would be denied access)
• Ability to exclude certain forums (no notification send at all)
• Never send a pm to yourself also solved

Can someone point me to a mod like this for 3.8?

This is so awesome i cant believe nobody else has done this for VB over all these years, but i cant find any from the search box! The closest thing was the DTO notification mod but notifies for moving threads only. sigh!

I moved my own thread and got no PM's stating such. I set everything up perfectly. I'm the admin, so unless it doesn't PM yourself if you move your own thread, then it might work as that's the only thing I did to test it. I just didn't figure it would be coded that way, I was assuming it sent PM's regardless.

@Fastbird,
Moderation Auto-PM doesn't send PMs to yourself

[SoloX]

it does not send any PM. At least none of my users receieved. 4.1

There is a small bug in the actual version for multi language forums.
Example:
Mod has language A in his settings
User has language B in his settings.
If now the mod deletes a thread for example, the user gets the PM in the language of the moderator and cannot read/understand it.
The addon should send the PM in the language the receiver is using.

Any fix for this?
