Hiyas,

I dont like static email notifications and fancy coloring them up a bit. So this hack is one way to do it. (If I can spare time, more is likely to follow)

This hack simply sends a small portion of user's reply to thread subscribers in their notification mail. It's also possible to send the whole reply, but I dont suggest this, because if they read it all, they wont visit the original thread. But just giving a hint and sending a few lines can be provoking to get them to your board ASAP.

It's an easy to install hack and you can easily customize it by choosing how many characters of the reply will be sent to the members.

I use this hack in V.2.2.2 and havent noticed any problems. Please report bugs in this thread..

Enjoy! \\=^))

Regards,
Logician

Great hack, Logician. Thanks!

Our new group comes from another that's been around for years where some of us read online, but many subscribe to what's posted by way of a mailing list.

This will make a lot of people very happy.

Cheers!

Hai there,

I want to use your hack but I need it for this:
My sub-forum is called UPDATES so whenever I make a new thread (and a new posting is made automatically of course) I want to have the message contents in my e-mailmoderator template. Your hack does not work all the way because in creating the thread it does not see the message contents. It works but only when you add a second posting in that thread.

Can you help me?

Installed it on 2.3.0 - waiting for first email reply to check its working.

However, install instructions were straightforward enough and there were no code differences to be concerned with.

Sinan, did you ever find the time to come up with the code to strip out vbcode in the message? vb 3.0 has that feature and it would be good to have it for those of us who aren't going to upgrade right away.

Great hack . . .The only problem I have is now there is no subject in the emails. . .

The hack does not touch anything related to the subject of the mail, so this can't be.

Besides the emails (and its subject) sent are default vb notification mails, the hack does not change this behaviour either. It just adds some text inside mail, that's it.

I'd say uninstall it, make sure your default vb notifications has subjects, then reapply (carefully!)

Ps. You look "unlicensed" here, please check your email address you use here in vbulletin.com and make sure it is authorized in members section of vbulletin.com. Thanks..

THanks. . . :bunny:

Striping the VB code feature is not very easy to add...

Logician, you could try something like this:

Code:

$string = preg_replace( '~<[^\]]*>~' , '' , $string );
$string = str_replace( '"' , '' , $string );

That should take care of all your BB Code...
Let me know what you think.
